The funeral took place Monday afternoon at 10 o'clock at the family residence, and the religious ceremonies were conducted by the Rev.F.W.McGee and Elder J.P.Garrott. The remains were interred in the Forrest City cemetery in the presence of a large number of relatives and friends. The services had been announced to be held at the grave, but owing to the rain and very inclement weather Monday morning, it was decided to hold the ceremonies at the house before leaving for the cemetery, which was accordingly done. The pall bearers were Messrs.J.H.Draper and J.J. Halbert, of Haynes; Elmer Fondren, of Wynne; W.A.Pearson, R.E.Hudson, and J.E.Ferguson of this city. Walter Rowland was unmarried. He is survived by his father, two brothers, a sister,Mrs.R.F.Hardison, of Ridgely, Tenn, and many other relatives and a host of friends, who sincerely mourn his demise.
