Killed In Truck Wreck

Funeral services were held Sunday for Bobby Glenn Murry, 32, of Joyce who was
killed in a log truck accident Friday morning, December 17.

According to state police reports, the log truck driven by Murry was traveling
south on La. 34, about three miles south of Chatham.  The left front tire
apparently blew out as the truck was descending a hill, and the truck swerved
across the center line, left the road on the opposite side and struck a ditch
embankment.  The load of logs rolled over the cab of the truck, crushing
Murry, officials said.

A ruptured gas tank caused the truck to catch fire, but Murry was not
seriously burned, police said.

Funeral services for Mr. Murry were held at 10 a.m. Sunday, December 19, at
the Zion Hill Baptist Church in Williana, with the Rev. Delton Sharbono
officiating.  Burial was in Liberty Chapel Cemetery in Williana under the
direction of Southern Funeral Home of Winnfield.

Among Mr. Murry's survivors are his wife, Mrs. Ruby Ann Murray; three sons,
Derrel, Shannon, and Brent Murry and two daughters, Kimberley and Angela, all
of Joyce; his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Denver Murry of Dry Prong; six brothers,
L. E. Murry of Houston, Tex.; W. D. Murry of Irving, Tex.; Wayne Murry of
Dale, Tex.; Charles Murry and Clayton Murry, both of Minden; and Jimmy Murry
of Sibley; two sisters, Mrs. Floyd Chelette of Colfax and Mrs. Quincy Carter
of Dry Prong, and his maternal grandmother, Mrs. Vera Slayter of Joyce.

Pallbearers were Wayne Culpepper, Billy Strickland, Darrell Ingles, Jerry
Crooks, Wayne Davis, and Jimmy Strickland.
