Funeral Rites Are Held For Man Found Dead Near Here

Acting on the instructions from a sister, who resides in Atlanta, Ga., the
remains of William Isaac Taylor were buried in a free lot of the Winnfield
Cemetery Friday afternoon at two o'clock, with Rev. G. A. Morgan officiating.

The skeleton identified as that of one William Isaac Taylor by papers found in
his belongings was found by three loggers about three hundred yards off the
Winnfield-Natchitoches highway three miles from town on Wednesday, January 25.
Disposition of the remains was held in abeyance until instructions were
received from the relatives that were finally located in Atlanta, Ga., and in
the meantime were held by the Walsh Funeral Home here.  Sheriff Sholars
stated that the letter from the dead man's sister stated that later she
expects to remove the remains to Atlanta.
