Frank Stapleton Buried At Wrens

Wrens, Ga. -- Albert Frank Stapleton, 59, died at University Hospital, Augusta, 
Ga., Wednesday at 8:45 p. m. after five years illness.

He was the son of the late Albert S. Stapleton and Margaret Jones Stapleton,

Stapleton, Ga., Atlanta Law School, and Southern School of Pharmacy, Atlanta.

He was a member of the Stapleton Baptist Church and an Odd Fellow.

He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Lola Smith Stapleton; one son, Bruce H. 
Stapleton, Seoul, Korea; two brothers, Dr. James W. Stapleton, Dublin, Ga., and 
Leroy Stapleton, Metter, Ga.; one sister, Mrs. L. M. Durham, East Point, Ga.;
