Death of Troy H. Warren Believed Due to Sunstroke

Funeral services for Troy Herschel Warren, 29 year old South Winnfield Army
veteran of World War II, were held at the Gorhamtown Cemetery at 2 o'clock
Tuesday afternoon, September 9, with the Rev. Alwin Stokes, Presbyterian
minister, officiating.  Burial was in the Gorhamtown Cemetery under direction
of Edmonds Funeral Home.

Mr. Warren died at his South Winnfield home about 4 p.m. Friday after
suffering a probable sunstroke while at work shortly before noon that day.  He
had been in ill health for some time but relatives stated that his death was
due to overexposure to the extreme heat.

He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Katherine King Warren of South Winnfield and
a one year old daughter, Geneva Ann.  Other survivors are four brothers,
Arthur Warren, Winnfield; Cecil and Fred Warren, Monroe, and Emmett Warren of
New York; and two sisters, Mrs. Clara Gibson, Monroe, and Mrs. Gussie Varnell.

Mr. Warren was a disabled veteran of World War II, having lost a leg as a
result of an injury sustained while in the Army.  He had been a resident of
Winnfield for the past 15 years.  He formerly operated a fruit stand in
Winnfield and at the time of his death was an employee of the City.
