buried in the Self graveyard near Hornbeck February 1. The
funeral services were conducted by Rev. Gray, Pastor of the
Methodist church of Hornbeck, assisted by Rev. H. E. Chance and
others.

  Mr. Rayburn was one of the best citizens of his community,
quiet, thoughtful and willing to help carry on in his church and
community and do his part well. He desired to do the right thing
by all with whom he came in contact.

  He was born in Louisiana but had lived in western Texas, New
Mexico and Arizona when a young man but returned and made his
home near Hornbeck. It is said of him that he was a mighty good
man and those who knew him best knew that to be so. Our country
needs more men like he was.

Hornbeck; one son, Grove Rayburn of Hornbeck and five brothers,
W. H. and Steve Rayburn of Hornbeck, Oal and Jahn Rayburn of
