appreciated as an industrious, capable young man, and his tragic death was a 
great shock to his friends. He had been with R.D. Cole Mfg. Co. for several 
years, and was highly regarded both by the company and by his fellow-
employees.  

   He is survived by his parents, Mr. And Mrs. Gus Spradlin, and one sister, 
Miss Gladys Spradlin.
