  Eugene Lycurgus Atkinson passed away last Sunday, July 17, at 7:50 p.m. in the Grenada Hospital, where he had been a patient for several days. He had been in ill health for some time and four days before his death one of his lower limbs had been amputated in the effort to restore his health. Funeral services were conducted Monday afternoon from Sparta church, south of Holcomb, by Dr.J.H.Hooks, pastor of the First Baptist Church of Grenada and Rev. E.H.Cunningham, presiding elder of the Grenada district of the Methodist Church. Burial was in the Sparta Cemetery.
  Active pallbearers were Jim Elliot, of Holcomb, Dr. Giles of Avalon, Dr.

  The funeral was largely attended by friends and relatives and many members of the colored race, who loved and respected the deceased, was present for the last rites. Mr. Atkinson was born February 18, 1959 at Palo Alto, in Clay County, MS. For sixty years he had been a citizen of Grenada County, residing here when the county was formed. He was prominent in county affairs, being recognized as a leader and had served four terms as a member of the county board of supervisors. Gene Atkinson, as he was familiarly known was regarded as a good neighbor, a dependable friend, a fine citizen and an honorable upright Christian gentleman. But his outstanding characteristic was his love for and his devotion to his family. He was a devoted and tender husband and a considerate loving father and his character is reflected in the sterling qualities possessed by his children. Surviving besides his wife, the former Miss Maggie Head of Eupora, to whom he was married in 1891, are five children, Lafayette, county superintendent of education, Miss Loree, member of the Macon, MS high school faculty; Miss Ethel, of Pensacola, FL, Mrs Bryan Scott and E.W."Jack" Atkinson of Holcomb. One brother, S.E.Atkinson, also survives as well as five grandchildren.
