Lory Wilkinson Dies Suddenly At Home of Aunt

Former Resident is Son of Dr. Wilkinson of Atlanta

Lory Wilkinson, age 26, who died suddenly Monday afternoon at the home of his
aunt, Mrs. D. S. Mathis at Montgomery, was buried in the Colfax Cemetery
Tuesday afternoon after funeral services at the Colfax Methodist Church.  The
deceased was the son of Dr. and Mrs. Wilkinson, former residents of Atlanta.

Mr. Wilkinson, who was married about a month ago in Winnfield to a Miss
Duritt, was a resident of Colfax, where he lived with his mother, Dr.
Wilkinson, his father, having died about two years ago.  He had come to
Montgomery on a business trip, was suddenly taken ill, and succumbed within a
few hours at the home of his aunt.  He was a junior at L. S. U. although ill
health had forced him to abandon his studies about two years ago.

In addition to his wife and mother he is survived by two aunts and uncles, Mr.
and Mrs. S. D. Mathis, of Montgomery, and Mr. J. C. Stevens, principal of the
Wheeling school, and one aunt, Miss Flora Stevens, an employee of the local
ERA office.
