E. McGAVOCK, 84, DIES UNEXPECTEDLY; RITES CONDUCTED T. E. McGAVOCK, 84, father of J. H. McGAVOCK, manager of the local Piggly Wiggly store, died unexpectedly at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Emma Lee DARROW, Tuesday morning, April 27, 1937. Mr. McGAVOCK, according to his son, only recently had complained of "feeling strange", and a few minutes after the elderly gentleman got up from the breakfast table, he fell over dead. In addition to his son and daughter, he also is survived by three other daughters, Mrs. Anna NILLER and Mrs. M. M. SQUIRES, of Chula Vista, and Mrs. J. R. BANDY of Kentucky. Another son, D. E. McGavock, Los Angeles Safeway store superintendent, arrived here Wednesday. The funeral was to be conducted yesterday afternoon at Hubbard & Porter Mortuary. Burial was to be at Glen Abbey Memorial Park. Mr. McGAVOCK, a retired Kentucky farmer, came here from the south 15 years ago, and had many friends in Chula Vista.
