[Ennis, Tx, 1954. Very good.. [4]pp. of mimeographed text on a single folded sheet, plus [1]p. of manuscript. Minor wear to both items. The printed program and a single page of manuscript sermon notes pertaining to the funeral services of Mr. K.C. Jones, held at the Holsey Chapel of the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church in Jim Crow Ennis, Texas in 1954. The funeral took place on April 20, presided over by Reverend David Jordan. The program is printed on the third page, and included a scripture and prayer by Rev. J.R. Roberts of the Wayman Chapel African Methodist Episcopal Church and a eulogy by Rev. W.B. Smith, the pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church. The program is accompanied by a single page of notes attributed to Reverend Jordan, but are a rather loose transcript of Longfellow's poem, "Sail on, O Ship of State." The passage ends, "Our hearts our hopes our prayer our tears are all with thee. (Inventory #: 5263)
