Funeral services for John C. Cluney, 59, who died at his home in the 
Milford community at 2:30 last Friday afternoon; following a long illness, 
were held at the Pine Hill Baptist church at 11 o'clock Saturday morning.

well known not only in his own Ward, but throughout the parish as well, 
and was held in the highest esteem by those who knew him. He had been in 
ill health for some time and had been confined to bed for several weeks. 

The deceased is survived by his wife and four daughters, Francis Cluney, 
Sadie Cluney, Catherine Cluney, and Helen Cluney, all of Vernon parish.  
Also surviving are two sisters, Mrs. Mandy James, of Burr Ferry, and Mrs. 
George Coward, of Deweyville, Texas, and one brother, Tom Cluney of Burr 
Ferry.
