Funeral services were conducted by Rev. D.D. Woody Sunday afternoon, after which the remains were buried in Salem churchyard.

Deceased is survived by his wife and four children.

He was a successful farmer and was well-known throughout the southern section of Gibson and the southern and eastern parts of Crockett County. His many friends regret his death.
