LLOYD SUDDENLY PASSES Well Wednesday Night Dies from Paralysis of Heart Before Morning In good health Wednesday night and a corpse, cold in death, on Thursday morning was the shocking close to the career of George Alexander Lloyd, who was found dead in his bed from paralysis of the heart early Thursday morning. Mr. Lloyd was a railroad man by profession. He was with the N. O, & N. E. road at Meredian Miss for 14 years and for 7 years was yard master of the East Rome yard of the Southern, who valued his services most highly. For the past four years he was in business in East Rome. Retiring as usual on Wednesday night, Mr. Lloyd appeared to sleep soundly. Mrs. Lloyd arose early Thursday morning and noticed Mr. Lloyd was pale, but thought him still asleep. She went back to bed for a while and on getting up again thought strange that he had not awakened. Going over and putting her hand 0n him she was horrified to find that the warmth of life was gone. Her screams brought other members of the family and Dr. Watts was quickly sent for. But it was all too late. Death had come silently and without warning, evidently about 3 o'clock. Mr. Lloyd leaves three daughters, Mrs. C. C. Collins, and Mrs. Luke Cottrell, of Meredian, Miss., and Mrs. Walter Walls of New Orleans, and one son, Thomas E. Lloyd, of Rome, a former councilman of this city. The sincere sympathy of the community goes out to the family in their sudden bereavement. The funeral arrangements have not yet been completed, but it will nit occur until Saturday. FUNERAL OF G. A. LLOYD TAKES PLACE AT 10 A.M. The funeral of G. A. Lloyd, who died Wednesday night, will take place from the residence of his son, T. E. Lloyd, on Second avenue, at 10 o'clock Saturday morning. The service will be conducted by Dr. R. B. Headden, assisted by the Rev. I. R. Walker. The interment will take place in Myrtle Hill. The following pallbearers are requested to meet at Hanks Furniture Co. at 9:30: P. A. Cato, Chas.
