He suffered a heart attack early this year, but was thought to be progressing nicely when a sudden attack of illness developed early Sunday afternoon, ending his life shortly afterward.

The remains were laid to rest at a late hour Monday in the Drury Cemetery, following funeral services conducted by Elder William Norman, assisted by Elder Calvin Gregory. The deceased was a hard working farmer and was a native of the New Harmony section. He was a member of the Cedar Bluff Baptist church, and was one of the highly respected citizens of this community.
