Funeral Services For Judge Wiley C. Howard Held
Funeral services for Judge Wiley C. Howard were held Thursday morning at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Thos. F. Comer, Dr. J. C. Wilkinson and Dr. Lester Rumble officiating. A passage was read from Revelations and the 14th chapter of John followed by a most beautiful prayer. Messrs. T. S. Mell, J. D. Mell, E. B. Mell and Morton Hodgson sang sweetly and tenderly “Saved by Grace” and “Home of My Lord”, accompanied by Mrs. Hunter Hubbard. Interment followed in Jefferson, GA, his former home.
The many beautiful and varied floral offerings attested to the great love and esteem in which he was held. The beloved Confederate flag draped the casket of this old hero of the sixties, placed there by an old Confederate comrade.
