condition.

He was a member of the Verda High School and was scheduled to graduate at the

wreath for the grave.  School was dismissed that day so that his many
classmates and friends might attend the services.

Baptist Church with the Rev. Jimmy Yocum, pastor, and the Rev. B. L. Brister,
pastor of the Verda Baptist Church officiating.  Burial was in the Mars Hill
Cemetery.

Eugene Fletcher, Donald Thompson, Bobby Deen, Walter Wayne Lashley, Raymond
Lemoine, Frank LeBarron, Ronnie Lashley, and Raymond Vercher, his classmates,
were the pallbearers.

Special song services for the funeral were provided by the schoolmates.

Survivors other than his parents include one brother, Layne; two sisters,
Aniece and Patrician Ann of Montgomery, his grandfather, J. P. Miller of Route
1, Montgomery, and two great grandmothers, Mrs. Ollie McManus of Shreveport
and Mrs. Hettie Box of Rt. 1, Montgomery.
