J. E. McCarty Dies Suddenly

J. E. McCarty, age 72, died suddenly at his home in the Beech Creek Community
Saturday afternoon.

Mr. McCarty was seemingly enjoying the best of health, and at about four
o'clock Saturday afternoon left the house go to some part of his farm to
repair a fence.  When night came and he failed to return, one of his sons, who
lives near, went to look for him, and found him lying on the ground where he
apparently had died an hour or two before from heart failure.

Mr. McCarty was born September 24th, 1954 near Hickory Valley, La., and always
lived near the community of which he was born.  He attended the best schools
of the country and for awhile taught in the schools of the parish.  He married
Miss Mary Johns, and she and four children survive him.  They are J. M.
McCarty, Haynesville, W. H. McCarty, Flat Creek, Mrs. C. N. Whitehead,
Grayson, Mrs. Leon Niager, St. Louis, Mo.  Also three sisters, Mrs. W. J.
Sowers, Winnfield, Mrs. Mary Holmes, Harrisonburg, Mrs. Frank Corley, Oakdale,
La., and 21 grandchildren and one great grandchild.

The funeral services were held at Beech Creek Church Sunday, afternoon, the
Rev. C. B. Gates of Sikes, conducting the services.  Interment was in the
Beech Creek Cemetery.  A large number of relatives and friends of Winnfield
attended the funeral.
