FUNERAL SERVICE For
Mr. James 'Jim* Taylor, Sr. Tuesday, March 12, 1963 3:15 P.M.
At Tabernacle Baptist Church
Yes, he served Georgia Railroad faithfully and unerringly for forty-two (42) conse cutive years - until his Retirement.
OFFICIATING Rev. I.E. Smith Pastor, Macedonia Baptist Church
AS FINAL TRIBUTE
A gentle spirit sweetly good The pearl of precious manhoon Who heard the voice of duty clear And found his mission soon and near
He went his way, hut on he trod The path that led him straight to God Such lives as this put death to scorn They lose our day, to find God's morn.
And can you blame him that his gaze In turn away from earthly ways When to his eyes God's light and love Have given the view of things above.
