Fleetwood of Marion, S.C., L. Fleetwood and J.V. Fleetwood of Franklin; two 
sisters, Mrs. G.W. Hedgepeth of Holland and Miss Ruth Fleetwood of Franklin. 

   The funeral services were conducted from the Franklin Baptist church 
yesterday afternoon at 5 o'clock by Dr. J.L. Lawless of Holland, assisted by 
Dr. C.H. Rowland of the Christian Church.  Her pastor, Rev. J.L. McCutcheon,
