Luther Frank Atkinson


Following an illness of several months due to advanced age, Luther Frank Atkinson, 89, died at his home in Arch street here Thursday afternoon at 1:20 o'clock. He had been critically ill for several days, and the end was not unexpected.

Mr Atkinson, an employee of the Ruby Lumber Company for a number of years, retired about three years ago. He was a native of Xenia, Ohio, from which place he moved to Hopkinsville. About twenty years ago he came to Madisonville to live.

He was a devout member of the First Christian church, Madisonville, and a popular member of the Elks lodge. His widow, two daughters, Mrs. G L Martin, Madisonville, and Mrs. Ferdinand Walker, Bowling Green, and a son, Vivian Atkinson, survive.

Funeral services will be held at the residence at 1 o'clock Friday afternoon, conducted by the Rev. W H Funderburk, followed by burial in Hopkinsville cemetery.

The Messenger, Madisonville, Ky, Dec 24, 1931.
