Ollie Bine Cheatham Obituary


Crockett County Sentinel
July 13, 1923

---ANOTHER DEEP SORROW---has fallen into the life of Mr. Allen CHEATHAM, the second to come to him this year.  During the first days of February, during a scourge of the flu in his family, his splendid wife succumbed, leaving the home dark and motherless. On last Friday, his 11-years-old son,  Ollie Bine, was taken sick, and during Friday night acute appendicitis developed, at Saturday at 1 p. m. , he was rushed to Memphis for an operation. The operation was performed, but it did not save his life, for at 12 o'clock, his young spirit joined the spirit of his sainted mother "over there". His body was brought out from Memphis Sunday morning and carried out to the home, where it remained until in the afternoon. At 3:30, funeral services in the presence of many sorrowing, sympathizing relatives and friends, were held at the home by Rev.  E. L. ROBINSON and J. C. W. NUNN,  after which his body was brought back to Belleview and laid to rest beside the bed of his mother. Genuine sympathy goes out to friend, Allen in his hours of sorrow.
