Death at Cateechee;
v People Still Moving
Mr. Will Sutherland, an employee of
k, the Norris Cotton Mills Co., died at his
r residence on Cateechee Hill, Sunday, De
cember 31, about 5 p. m., from pneu
monia fever. Mr. Sutherland had just
g recently changed his life and united with
the Cateechee Baptist church. Rev. J.
L. Willis baptized him just a few months
before he was called on to preach his fu
neral. The writer has known Mr. Suth
erland for several years and since he
changed his way of living, had some deal
ings with him. We can trutfully say we
0 believe he was prepared to die. After
he changed his way of living he always
s had a smile on his face and shunned the,
" things he once scemed to love.
The deceased leaves a wife and two
:1 small children. He was about 23 years
e old. His remains were laid to rest in
- Camp Creek cemetery. His brother-in
law, Dellus Boren, has been very low
with pneumonia, but is some better at
this writing.
