When the procession reached the cemetery impressive
services, according to the ritual of the order, were
conducted by Commander Ben Richards of Artesian Tent,
Knights of the Maccabees, a final prayer was offered by
Rev. Crouch and the body of Tom Davis was lowered to
rest. The floral tributes were beautiful. Friends brought
cut flowers and evergreens, and two large designs especially
were noticed. One was a large wreath of red and white
flowers, twined with crepe, the red, white and black being
the colors of the Maccabees. This was sent by Artesian
Tent No. 6, of which the deceased was a member. The
other was a large anchor, fully four feet in length
composed of yellow roses and white carnations. It was a
huge piece, beautifully made, and testified the friendship
of him who sent it, Mr. Connor. The pallbearers were
Judge W. H. Jenkins, J. E. Boynton, T. B. Williams,
J. N. Harris, A. C. Riddle, J. K. Rose, J. H. Gouldy,
W. H. Deaton, Robt. Wright, S. F. Kirksey, Major A.
Symes and James I. Moore.
