Mrs. Nora Mitchell, 51, wife of R. L. Mitchell, Edna laborer, was electrocuted while taking a bath at the family home at 307 East Ezzell St. Tuesday shortly after 10 p. m. Justice of the Peace Joe Cherry has returned a verdict of death by electrocution following an investigation of the tragedy. Funeral services will be held at the Assembly of God Church Friday at 3:30 p. m. and interment will be made in the Edna Cemetery. The use of a small electric fan near the bathtub is blamed for Mrs. Mitchell’s death. She apparently reached from the tub to turn the fan on or off and the 110 volt electric current ran through her body and grounded in the water and the metal tub. Members of the family, hearing the water running in the bathroom for some time, went to investigate and discovered Mrs. Mitchell lying on her face. The fan had been pulled over on her. It had been on a small pedestal near the tub. She was born May 4, 1900, at Leonard, moving to Edna 21 years ago. Surviving are her husband; her mother, Mrs. Mollie Freeman Page of Bowie; two sons, Ray Charles Mitchell of the Navy and Roy Melvin Mitchell of Norfolk; two daughters, Mrs. Mary Edith Pennington of Houston and Mrs. Bonnie Lee Gates of Berclair, and a brother and three sisters.

Friday, November 25, at 7:45 P. M. at his home in Lolita, Mr. W. J. Moody, one of Jackson County’s highly esteemed citizens, passed away following a protracted illness. In fact, he had been in poor health for about 15 years. Some little time before his passing he suffered a stroke from which he never recovered. The funeral service was held at the Lolita Baptist Church at 2:00 P. M. Sunday. The service was conducted by Revs. J. M. Thomas and Frank Hollan. Interment was made in the Edna Cemetery. The active pallbearers were Messrs. J. L. Moody of Dallas, Robert Moody of Athens, Lawrence Moody of Dallas, Reuben Moody of Brenham, A. Moody of Dallas and Doyle Moody of Houston. William J. Moody was born Oct. 17, 1878, at New Albany, Miss. At this place he was united in marriage to Miss Nettie J. Moody on November 26, 1895. While they had the same surname, Mr. and Mrs. Moody were not related. In 1902, Mr. and Mrs. Moody removed to Navarro County, Texas, and settled near Corsicana. In 1913 they moved to Jackson County, locating two miles below Edna. Later they moved to the Red Bluff-Lolita section where they bought a farm, and where they have since resided. Mr. Moody was a good man and a useful citizen. His life was an asset to the community in which he lived and reared his family. He always manifested a keen interest in every phase of community life, and he was ever ready to shoulder his part of the responsibility in making his community a better place in which to reside. Mr. Moody served his precinct several terms as county commissioner. Throughout these years he conducted the duties of his office in a manner that elicited favorable comment from all who were familiar with county affairs. Mr. Moody had been a member of the Baptist Church for 55 years and was active in church work until his health failed. Mr. Moody is survived by his widow and the following children: Messrs. W. C. , R. W. and A. L. “Dock” Moody and Mrs. Pope Thedford all of Lolita, 8 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren; 2 brothers, and one half brother—Messrs. I. W. Moody of Corsicana, L. L.
