Boyce Curry Dies; Brother Of Guy Curry
 
Boyce Curry, brother of Guy Curry, fireman on the local switch engine, 
died Monday morning five o'clock at his home in Vidalia.
Mr. Curry had been sick several years, having contracted tuberculosis in the 
army during the World War. He had spent a great deal of time in the government 
hospitals and in the West, trying in vain to find a cure for the disease. His 
condition grew from bad to worse until he came home to be with his parents and 
then came the end.
Those left to mourn the passing of this young man are his brother, Guy, of Winnsboro; 
his father and mother, of Vidalia, and a host of relatives and friends.
Interment was made in the Natchez cemetery on Tuesday at eleven o'clock.

S. Kennerly Passes Away On Last Friday
Has Been Resident of Franklin Parish for Past Twenty Years.
 
On last Friday the Death Angel departed with the soul of 
S. Kennerly who passed away at his home in Wisner.
Up until a year or so ago Mr. Kennerly had been in perfect health. 
At this time he became ill with some minor troubles which lasted for 
a short while, after which Mr. Kennerly apparently regained his usual 
rugged health. Not long afterwards he became ill again and was confined 
to his bed a second time being able to be up again after a short while. 
This same condition of his health prevailed for almost a year, up until 
his death.
On last Friday at noon after having eaten his lunch he went into the living 
room of his home. He was found a few minutes later in a serious condition, 
and stated that his heart was heavy and would hardly beat. He died a short 
while afterwards.
Mr. Kennerly is well known in Wisner and the whole of Franklin parish, having 
moved here with his family more than twenty years ago. He was an excellent citizen 
and a staunch defender of Right. He is well loved by his many friends and holds 
the highest respect of this entire section of the state.
Mr. Kennerly is survived by three children, Miss Amanda Kennerly, who is a member 
of the Crowville High school faculty; Miss Ruth, who is attending high school at 
Wisner, and one son, Clifford, aged 11 years; two sisters, Miss Alice Kennerly and 
Mrs. Rufus Taylor of Simmsport; and his mother, Mrs. Amanda Kennerly, also of Simmsport, 
and a host of very close friends and relatives.
Interment was made in the Holly Grove Cemetery, Rev. R. L. Cook officiated at the 
funeral services at the home, the Masons rendering the last rites at the final resting place.
