Miss Lucile Zeanon Passed Away Monday
Dawson Herald - June 1932
Miss Lucile Zeanon, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. O. Zeanon, died Monday
morning at 3 o’clock at her home here, after an illness of several
months duration, the last weeks of which time she was very sick. Miss
Lucile had reached the age of twenty five years, eleven months, and
twenty eight days. Up to some two years ago she had been a resident of
Hubbard, but during her residence here, she had made a host of friends.
She was converted and joined the Presbyterian church at Hubbard when
eight years of age and held membership in that church at the time of her
death. She possessed a happy disposition and was held in the highest
esteem by all who knew her. Her passing away will not only be keenly
felt by her family but by many friends as well.
The funeral service was conducted at the Cumberland Presbyterian church
Monday afternoon at four o’clock, conducted by Revs. B. T. Tyree, F.O.
Waddill, H. D. Jeffcoat, Robert Evans, W. H. McCulloch, Tom Allmon, and
D. M. Fullerton, after which the body was laid to rest in the Dawson
cemetery. The high esteem in which Miss Lucile was held was attested by
the beautiful floral offering and the large number, many from a
distance, who were present at the funeral to pay a last sad tribute.
Notes: Child of Edmund Oscar and Mary Loucinda Spence Zeanon, born 17 June 1906, died
13 June 1932. At the time of her death Lucile Zeanon was either divorced
