   A Floyd County lad's battle against leukemia ended today.

Stricken with the disease of the blood cells a year ago,
young Loyd had made a valiant fight and his faith and
courage had been an inspiration.

Loyd, he had resided here all of his life and prior to his
illness, was a student at Model School. He was a member of
North Rome Methodist Church.

Surviving are the parents, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Loyd, one
sister, Miss Paula Loyd, Rome, Rte. 6, the paternal
grandmother, Mrs. W.B. Loyd, and the maternal grandfather,
D.G. Allen; both of Rome and a number of aunts and uncles.

Funeral services will be conducted at 4 p.m. Tuesday in the
North Rome Methodist Church with the pastor, the Rev. W.
Jack Lamb, officiating. Interment will follow in East View
Cemetery. The body will be at Jennings Funeral Home.

Pallbearers include Neal A. Wimberly, Ed Miller, Leland
Bagwell, Ora O. Beard, O.W. Montgomery and Milton Turner.
