Headline:  Rites for B. H. Switzer Held February 27th

Rites for Bendell Hamilton Switzer were held at his home on February 27 in 
East Jena with Rev. Finley W. Tinnin, Baptist pastor officiating.  Friends 
and acquaintances throughout this section were indeed saddened to learn of 
his sudden passing.  He was stricken with a heart attack some time between 11 
and 12 o'clock and passed away at 12:45.

The deceased was known to be a fine gentleman and loved by all who knew him.  
He was a native of Mississippi, but had spent the last 25 years of his life 
here in town and surrounding community.  He was 71 years of age.

Besides his wife, Mrs. Fannie Mae Switzer, he is survived by a sister, Mrs. 
R. E. Winfield of City Bluff, Miss.

The Times joins a host of friends in extending condolences to the bereaved 
family.

Burial was in Nolley Memorial Cemetery under the direction of Riser and 
Upshaw Funeral Home, Jena.
