COZART, WALTER [D. 31 Mar 1944-Penick Funeral Home] Walter Cozart Dies In Veterans Hospital Friday Popular and Prosperous Farmer "In many respects he was as fine a man as Carroll County ever produced." That was re mark made by a man who knew both the man and the county, and there are many who will readily endorse it. In spite of his outstanding faults which he was quick to acknowledge, he had many equally outstanding virtues that endeared him to many and enabled him to wield a powerful influence even beyond the borders of his home county. His life was an open book for he was anything but hypocritical. He was always ready to help one in trouble or in need, and his help was never miserly given. He was friendly, affable, truthful and honest, and because of these virtues had built up a large circle of friends and admirers. "In the long last," thoroughly convinced of the error of his way, he had the will-power to break with evil, make full confession of his mistakes, and take a bold stand for Christ and the Church. That is not an easy thing to do when one becomes rather set in evil habits. It takes a man in the truest sense of the word to do that. Walter had been in bad health for sometime. He had the best medical advice that could be had; he had the best of attention and nursing, the sympathy and prayers of many friends, but his days work was done, the final summons came, he "set his house in order" and waved back to his friends "All’s well, goodbye; I am not afraid." Walter died in the Veteran’s Hospital, Memphis, Tennessee, Friday, March 31, 1944, at 1:00 a.m. Funeral services were held at his late residence Sunday afternoon. By request of some years standing Rev. Geo. L. Johnson preached the sermon and Mrs. Price McLean sang two solos accompanied at the piano by Mrs. Bernard Kemp. He was buried with military honors by his comrades of the McKenzie Post of the American Legion. Walter is survived by a number of nephews and nieces, among them are Ranzo and Lucian Butler of McKenzie, Dr. Arden Butler of East Tennessee, Mrs. Ione Key of Norfolk, Virginia, Hugh Cozart of McKenzie, Tommie Cozart of Texas, Mrs. Edna Hobbs of Florida, Grady Mace, Earl and Miss Mary Snead of McKenzie, also Mrs. Dolphene Penny, and many friends.
