Lum Perry Overton

Lum Perry Overton, 82, passed away at his home on March 18, 2020.  He was a native and resident of Clarke County, AL.  Lum graduated from Clarke County High School and then began training at Railroad Depots to become a Railroad Depot Agent.  He was a member of Union Baptist Church.  He was married to Evelyn Gilchrist Overton for over 57 years and he enjoyed their family gatherings.  Lum or "Pa", as he was affectionately called, was an avid Clarke Prep Supporter, even when his children, grandchildren or great grands were not participating in sports.  He was BOTH an Alabama AND Auburn fan.  When his health was good, Lum raised vegetable gardens, especially last summer.  In years past, Lum enjoyed fishing, deer hunting and especially turkey hunting.  He was an avid reader of all westerns.  Lum loved all his family very much.
