   Walter D. Pearce is Dead at Home Here
   Walter  D. Pearce, 53, died suddenly Wednesday night at his home, 1231
   Baylor Street. It is believed that in running to catch a street car he
   depressed  his heart so that death resulted. Justice J.J. Padgett gave
   it  as his opinion that death was caused by heart failure due to acute
   indigestion,  and  it is thought the indigestion was encouraged by the
   condition of Mr. Pearce's heart.
   Funeral  services  will  be held Friday morning at 10 o'clock from the
   family  residence, Rev. Layton Maddox pastor of the Tabernacle Baptist
   Church, officiating, interment to be at Park Lawn.
   Mr.  Pearce  is  survived  by  his  wife and six children, four of the
   children  residing  here-Mrs. Maud Marrs, Miss Ruth Pearce, Ernest and
   W.J. Pearce. He also has two brothers and six sisters, one sister Mrs.
   W.E.  Valentine,  residing  at  Mart,  and another sister, Mrs. Curtis
   Goins residing in Waco.
