October 8, 1981 Aunt Estelle wrote

Thurs.  1981  Fair  warm.  

We picked up Jennings & Reba and went to Wise for Farin Roger's funeral.  Our pastor, Bro Zion preached, Betty, Diana, Cathy & Sylvia Kelly sang.  Rob Hunt, Rodney Orick, John Hobbs, Jerry Durham were pall bearers.  There was 30 from the church.  Sure was sad. 


Footnote:  Jennings is her brother and Reba is her sister-in-law.  Wise is a town about 20 miles away.  Farin Rogers was a member of her church and was killed in the coal mines.  Bro. Zion was the preacher at the Deep Springs Baptist Church.   Betty, Diana, Cathy and Sylvia were all members of the church and I expect that all the pall bearers were too.   Rob Hunt was Sandra Reasor Hunt's husband and father of Joshua Hunt.  I know the Orick's lived in the neighborhood and John Hobbs, I think, is the son of Aubrey and Patty Reasor Hobbs.  I didn't know Jerry Durham but I expect he was a church member too.
