LENGTHY ILLNESS FATAL IN LEE TO E.H. OLIVER, 70

Funeral services were held Sunday in the St. Helen's Christian Church, 
St. Helens, KY., for E. H. "Eddie" Oliver, 70,  who died at home near 
Fincastle Friday, Nov. 30, after an illness of nearly two years.

Eddie, the son of the late Walter T. and Julia Shackelford Oliver, was 
a native of Wolfe county but had been a resident of Lee County for the 
past 33 years.  He was a school teacher by profession but for the past 
several years served as postmaster of Fincastle.  He was also a member 
of the Christian Church.

Mr. Oliver beside being a good business and professional man, was an 
outstanding citizen.  He was a man of integrity and honesty and his death 
is not only a great loss to his family, but to his county and state.

Mr. Oliver is survived by his wife, Mrs. Edna Oliver, three sons: 
Walter, Herman and John Paul Oliver, and five daughters who include Mrs. 
Ruth Smyth, Leeco; Mrs. Marie Ridgon, Louisville, Mrs. Madge Cockerham, 
Beattyville; and Gladys and Beulah Oliver who are still at home.

Two of the surviving sons, Herman and John Paul are in the armed 
services.  The third son, Walker, lives on a farm near the home of his 
parents.

Mr. Oliver is also survived by one brother, C.B. Oliver of Campton and 
two sisters, Mrs. Nannie Griffith of Jackson and Mrs. Tillie Cable of 
Baptist, Ky, in Wolfe County.

The pallbearers were Jim Griffin, John D. Hieronymus, Clayton Judd, 
A.H. Taylor, John Cable, Topsy Cable, J.H. Kincaid, and Thomas Earl 
Shackelford.

The Rev. Bill Warner was in charge of the funeral services and burial 
was in the Evans Crossing Cemetery, Campton, with Congleton Bros. 
Funeral Home of Beattyville, in charge of arrangements.
