Dodson Man Passes Away In Michigan

Funeral services for Archie M. Norred, 39, son of Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Norred of
north of Dodson, were conducted Sunday afternoon, July 12, at 3 o'clock at the
Pumpkin Center Church of God by Rev. Harvey B. Hysell of the Winnfield
Methodist Church, assisted by A. W. Townsend, pastor of the Hodge Methodist
Church, with Edmonds Funeral Home in charge of arrangements.  Interment was in
Antioch Cemetery.  The 23rd Psalm was delivered in the sign language
especially for the widow, Mrs. Archie M. Norred, who is deaf, by H. M. Jones. 
Mrs. L. O. May sang, "Onward, Christian Soldiers" in the same manner at the
grave.

Mr. Norred, who was a native of Jackson Parish, received his education at the
Louisiana State School for the Deaf at Baton Rouge, graduating with the class
of 1923.  He was for many years an employee of the Ford Motor Company.  On May
4 he submitted to a major operation at the Ford hospital in Detroit, but 
medical science failed to save him; thus death came to this good man on 
Thursday night, July 9, 1942.

In addition to his parents, Mr. Norred is survived by his widow; seven
brothers and sisters, C. Paul, Detroit; Clayton J., Dodson; L. Newton,
Alexandria; Davis W., of the U. S. Army, stationed at Tampa, Fla.; Cedric A.,
Houston, Texas; Earl and Robert A., Shreveport.

All of Mr. Norred's brothers except Paul, who was detained in Detroit, acted
as pallbearers.
