(Name of paper not given)

  Frank L. Randolph, a citizen of Kimble county since 1904, died at his home
in Junction early Friday morning.  He has been in failing health several
years, but was getting along fairly well until he suffered a heart attack
early Friday morning and passed from this earth of suffering and sorrow.
Funeral services were held in the Methodist Church Saturday afternoon with
his pastor, Rev. Ennis B. Hill, officiating.  A song was sung by a quartet
composed of J. D. Buster, K. G. Durst, Bennett Kindrick and Dr. H. E. Wright.
  The following acted as pall bearers:
  A. G. Farmer, M. C. Scott, James Hodges, Joe Bissett, Ed Allen, W. Simon.
  Mr. Randilph was born in Guadalupe county on January 20, 1872, but moved
to Kimble county in 1904 and the next year was married to Miss Lena Ramsey.
To this union four children were born--three daughters and one son.  One
daughter died in infancy and another daughter, Marguerite, died in 1915
at the age of nine years.  The widow and two children, Ramsey Randolph
and Miss Catherine Randolph, survive.  He is also survived by one brother,
Jesse Randolph, of Houston and five nephews and six nieces.  Five sisters
and two brothers preceded him.
  He united with the Methodist Church here while Milton Hill was pastor in
1928.  It was his desire that brother Milton Hill, now pastor at Marfa,
conduct his funeral services, but as he was in El Paso attending a meeting
he could not reach Junction.
  For several years Mr. Randolph has been unable to work, but during his
illness he has been hopeful and took a deep interest in the affairs of the
community.  He was interested in school activities and was frequently seen
among pupils on the athletic field.  He was everybody's friend.  His 
untimely homegoing brings sadness into many homes.
  Among the people here for the funeral were Jesse R. Randolph and sons,
Bob, Billie and Malcolm, of Houston; Mr. and Mrs. Victor Nidever, Taylor;
Mr. and Mrs. Mark Nidever, San Antonio; Mrs. Henry Pferrling, San Antonio;
Frank Highsmith, Mrs. Ola Ramsey and daughter, Mazie and son, Leon, Mrs.
John Smart, Menard, and Mr. and Mrs. Poe Ramsey and daughter, Barbara Linn, 
of Fredericksburg.
