SPENCER MEANS TO BE BURIED TODAY
 
    According to information reaching us, relatives of Mr. Spencer Means left 
yesterday for Gainesville to bring the charred remains of Mr. Means to 
Franklin county for burial.  Mr. Means was killed in the tornado there 
Tuesday, being caught in one of the buildings that burned to the ground.
    Identification was made by his wrist watch, ring and knife.  He was an 
employee of the Hill Laundry Co., and had just reported for work when the 
tornado struck.  He was son of the late Rufe Means, and had left Franklin 
country about five years ago for his present location.  He was about 38 years 
of age and was well known as a young man of sterling character and energy.  He 
had been married only a few months.
    We understand that interment will take place today at Indian Creek Baptist 
Church after funeral services conducted by Rev. J. C. Fulbright.
    The deceased is survived by his young wife, his mother, Mrs. Lizzie Means, 
one brother, Clarence Means, and four sisters, Mrs. Lonnie Coffee, Mrs. Hub 
Westbrook, Mrs. Jim Westbrook, Mrs. Victoria Wood.
    The bereaved family have the heartfelt sympathy of all citizens in his 
untimely passing.
