MRS. MAUDE JOINES DIES AT RED BOILING SPRINGS

Transcribed by Judith Kemp Holley

After an illness of many months, attributed to cancer, Mrs. Maude L.

Joines, aged 75 years, died at her home at Red Boiling Springs late

Saturday afternoon. She had lingered between life and death for many

days and the end was not unexpected. She is survived by her husband,

Thomas S. Joines; one son, Dalton Russell, of Nashville; one daughter,

Mr. R. R. Bockman, of Cookeville; two grandsons, E. W. Younger, of

Cookeville; and J. T. Russell, of Nashville; one granddaughter, Mrs.

Ernest Maxwell, of Buffalo Valley; one brother, Charles O. Kemp, of

Clinton, Okla.; three sisters, Mrs. Eugene Whitley, of Bakersfield, California;

Mrs. Dan Clark, of Lafayette; and Mrs. Reedy Johnson of

Nashville; one step-son, Aubrey D. Joines, of Tompkinsville, Kentucky;

and a step-daughter, Mrs. Joe Wooten, of Red Boiling Springs.

The remains were laid to rest at three o'clock Monday afternoon

in Smith's Chapel Cemetery, near Red Boiling Springs, following

funeral services conducted from the Smith Chapel church by Elder Calvin

Gregory. Mrs. Joines was a member of Defeated Creek Baptist Church for

nearly 60 years and was a hardworking , industrious and energetic woman.

She was also one of the cheerful characters to be found now and then, who

look continually upon the brighter side of life. She was born and reared at

Kempville in Smith County, the daughter of William Layton and Mollie

Hackett Kemp. She was first married to Dock C. Russell, who died in 1928.

Later she married Mr. Joines.

Her father, known as Squire Kemp, lived many years ago at Kempville,

which took its name from him. He was at that time a leading citizen of his

community and county, a merchant, lumberman, a member of the County

Court, owner of 28 houses in his community, with about 500 acres of land

and a lot of other property.
