BREED FUNERAL RITES AT ROCK SPRINGS

Talladega, Ala.

The body of Joe Breed, paroled convict who was killed by a train near here, 
was sent to Heflin for burial at Rock Springs. Relatives there claimed the 
remains of the middle-aged man who died as he was hobbling his way on a 
paralyzed leg to a Christmas at his home in Randolph county, the coroner 
Kyser Leonard said. Breed had served a sentence for murder that was imposed 
on him in Roanoke in 1919, prison records show. He was one of the convicts 
whom Governor Graves had granted special Christmas paroles and was on his 
way to Randolph county when an A. B. & C. passenger train struck him about 
three miles from Talladega.

Funeral services were conducted at Rock Springs church at 2 p.m., Dec. 22, 
the Rev. Wallace Reaves officiating. Interment was in the church cemetery, 
directed by Brown-Service of Heflin. Survivors are the parents, Mr. and Mrs. 
R.N. Breed, six brothers and four sisters.
