HENRY HARRUP

MAN IN HEART VICTIM IN WOODS

Henry Harrup, 52, farmer, of Southampton County, died unexpectedly of a heart 
attack in woods near his home at Capron yesterday at 6:20 a.m. while hunting 
squirrels with two friends from Petersburg, A.W. Brantley and his son, 
Richard, 15.

The two men and boy had gone deep into the woods when Harrup was stricken. 
When Brantley found that he could do nothing to revive Mr. Harrup, he made 
his way out of the woods to obtain aid, leaving his son to guard the body.

Brantley became lost in the woods but finally found on old road that led out. 
He summoned aid and a doctor from Emporia reached the scene and found that 
Harrup had died almost instantly.  The physician commended the courage of 
young Brantley in standing by the body while his father went for aid.

Mr. Harrup is survived by his wife, Mrs. Ruby E. Harrup of Southampton; two 
sons, Jimmy and Gardner Harrup; two sisters, Mrs. K.D. Jenkins of Courtland 
and Mrs. Mack Stansberg of Roanoke Rapids, N.C. ; two brothers,  J.T. Harrup 
and S.J. Harrup of Capron and a number of nieces and nephews.

Funeral services will be held tomorrow at 2:30 p.m. in the Boykins Funeral 
Home.  Burial will be in the family grounds near Joyner.
