John Terral, 84 Years, Dies From Paralysis Stroke

Prominent Farmer of Winn Parish Succumbs At His Home

John Terral, 84 years old resident of Dodson, died at his home Tuesday
afternoon at 3 o'clock, following a paralysis stroke which he suffered Tuesday
morning at 7 o'clock while he was feeding his stock.  He never regained
consciousness after the stroke.

John Terral was born in Mississippi.  His parents moved to Dodson community
when he was a small boy and he lived there since.  He played an important part
in the political and economical life of the community and was considered one
of the most prosperous farmers in this section.  He was always able to finance
his crop each year without assistance and was one of the few able to "hold his
cotton."

He is survived by one daughter and one son, Mrs. W. A. Terral and W. S.
Terral, both of Dodson, three sons, two daughters, and a wife preceded him in
death.

Funeral services were conducted Wednesday afternoon at the Transport Church
with interment in the Transport Cemetery.  The Rev. John L. Dodge of Jonesboro
had charge of the services.
