Headline:  Dave Shapiro Dies at Nebo Monday; Buried on Tuesday

Funeral services were held at the Nebo Cemetery at 11 a.m., Tuesday morning 
for Dave Shapiro, 78 years of age, who passed away at his home there at 2:20 
o'clock Monday afternoon after an illness of about ten days.

Rev. M. C. Davidson officiated at the services, with members of Michael 
Dempsey Lodge No. 327, Free and Accepted Masons, having charge of the 
services at the grave.  Active pallbearers were H. M. Davis, J. D. Wishum, J. 
D. Russell, Jr., R. W. Stephenson, C. I. Humphries, and Shelton Posey, 
members of the lodge.

Mr. Shapiro has been a resident of this section for about 40 years, having 
come here from the North.  He was at one time in business in Jena, later 
engaging in extensive logging contract work and was well known for his 
benevolent attitude among his fellow men.  He had been in ill health for 
sometime, but on last Saturday, he expressed himself as feeling much worse 
and his condition failed to rally to medical skill and loving kindness of his 
family and neighbors, the end coming peacefully Monday afternoon.

The deceased is survived by his wife and an adopted daughter.
