HARVEY C. COUCH


Funeral services were held in Pine Bluff, Ark., Thursday at 10:30 a. m. for
Harvey C. Couch, chairman of the board of directors of the Louisiana &
Arkansas Railway and Kansas City Southern Lines, who died Wednesday at
Couchwood, his summer home on Lake Katherine near Hot Springs, Ark., for
burial.

Mr. Couch lived in Winnfield thirty-some-odd years ago.  He was connected with
the local creosote company and later established the first telephone exchange
in Winnfield.

(Note:  If correct, I recall reading in Mr. Harley Bozeman's work that Mr.
Couch was instrumental in the formation of Louisiana Power & Light and
Arkansas Power & Light utility companies.  He was also known as "the master
builder."  Submitted by Greggory Ellis Davies, Winnfield, Winn Parish, LA.)
