1939 Press Photo Four Attendees of the Funeral of James Madison Blount

The three old gentlemen and lady pictured above spent a subdued day yesterday. They had attended the funeral of James Madison Blount, 91, youngest Confederate veteran who lived in the Soldiers' home. They are, left to right, top row, Henry Clay Turck, 92, and H. L. Robertson, 95; bottom row, Frank (Daddy) Powell, 101, and Mrs. Mary Crews, 80, widow of a Confederate veteran. They knew that everyone must go, the old men said, but that didn't ease their sorrow at the loss of a friend.
