     Clifford Henry Duncan Youmans, 65, of Patterson, Superintendent of Pierce
County Schools, died last Thursday night at Waycross Memorial Hospital after an
extended illness.
     Although Mr. Youmans had been in ill health for some time, his death came

until his death.

school, for over 16 years, in Pierce, Brantley, Appling, Coffee and Jeff Davis
counties.
     A native of Pierce County, Youmans was the son of the late Lawrence Hampton
Youmans and Lavinia James Youmans.
     He received his secondary education in Patterson schools, was a graduate of
Georgia College and Business Institute at Douglas.  He also studied at Georgia
Southern College, Statesboro and the University of Georgia, Athens.
     A former cashier of the Patterson Bank, Youmans had served as a member of
its board of directors and was serving as vice-president.
     He was a member and deacon of Patterson Baptist Church, a member of
Patterson Masonic Lodge No. 533, a member of local, state and national
educational associations, and the Superintendents of Schools Assn.
     Youmans also had farming interests west of Patterson.
     He is survived by his wife, the former Adeline Winn of Patterson; one son,
Dr. Bronze Clifford Youmans of Patterson, a veternarian with offices in
Waycross; one brother, Stephen C. Youmans of Waycross; and three grandchildren.
