Negro Stricken, Dies On Street Here Wednesday

John Bolton, Winnfield Negro, died of a heart attack on the street in
Winnfield around 2 p.m. Wednesday.  Bolton, a former Olin Matheson mill
employee, had been in ill health for about a year.

He was stricken while walking up Main Street in the vicinity of Long's Barber
Shop.  He sat down on a bench outside the shop and then walked across the
street, motioning for help to the colored shoe shine man inside.  While the
shine man was attempting to help, Bolton died.

Funeral services are scheduled Sunday at 2:30 p.m. at Morning Star Baptist
Church.  He leaves his wife, Cora Bolton, of Winnfield.
