The funeral of Lonnie McComber at Union Chapel was attended by the entire community. What an afflicting scene. The last farewell of aged grandfather, father, mother, brothers and sisters, uncles, aunts and cousins—in fact, the entire community, for everyone who knew Lonnie loved him, and when the mists have rolled away we will know He doeth all things well.
