(This record is from microfilm in the Special Collections of the John C. Pace Library, University of West Florida- on that record but barely legible on the xerox copy I obtained , the person ordering the funeral arrangements was Mrs. T.L. Patete. This name seems to match one of the pall bearers, address 576 E. Perker Dr.32505-also hard to read.)
