D. SALISBURY IS CALLED BY DEATH

     DALEVAN SALISBURY, 412 Reed Street, retired chief watch inspector who
served several southern railroads for many years, died shortly after noon
Thursday at his residence, after an extended illness.

     Mr. SALISBURY was prominently known in Waycross and throughout the
Southeast, particularly in railroad circles. Though modest and retiring in
nature, he made a host of friends, and his death has brought sorrow to this
entire section.

     He had retired several years ago after 40 years as chief watch
inspector for the Youman's Jewelry Company, which handled inspections for the
Atlantic Coast Line, the Florida East Coast, and other roads.

     He was born at Worcester, N. Y., but with his parents, the late Mr. and
Mrs. J. H. Salisbury, moved to Waycross as an 8 year old youth.  The
Salisbury family was one of the pioneer families of Waycross, moving here
when there were only 500 inhabitants.

     Mr. SALISBURY was a charter member of the First Methodist Church, and
played a prominent part in the construction of the church building.

     He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Stella Walker Salisbury of Waycross,
two daughters, Mrs. A. E. Smith of Waycross, and Mrs. Bannon Jones of Athens,
three granddaughters, Mrs. Charles Woodward of Charlotte, N. C., and Sallie
and Del Jones of Athens, also two great granddaughters, Ann and Lynn Woodward
of Charlotte, N. C. 

     Funeral services will be held this afternoon at 6:30 o'clock at the
First Methodist Church, conducted by the Rev. Albert S. Trulock,  pastor, and
the Rev. Jones Hitch, superintendent of the Waycross District, with burial at
Oakland Cemetery.

     . L. Hinson and Company is in charge of arrangements.
