Funeral services for Marvin Sharp, 22, of Rhinehart, who was killed in an 
automobile accident Friday afternoon at 1 o'clock, were held Saturday 
afternoon at 3 o'clock at the Oak Grove Baptist Church of Rhinehart.

the car.  A companion who was with the youth at the time of the accident was 
not injured.

Alice and Brenda Jean Nugent; a stepson, Billy D. Nugent; his mother and 
father, Mr. and Mrs. Marcus Sharp of Rhinehart; three brothers, Monroe, Alton
