BERNARD BENNETT JOYNER

   Bernard Bennett Joyner, son of the late Elijah G. Joyner and Mrs. Mary Anna 
Joyner was born April 17, 1876, and died September 3, in his 58th year at his 
home in the Capron community.

   His early manhood was spent in Courtland where he was prominently connected 
with the business life of the town and community, later serving creditably as 
rural letter carrier until failing health caused his resignation.

   "Bud" Joyner as he was familiarly known, counted among his acquaintances 
many true friends.  His genial disposition which he maintained to the end 
despite the pressure of ever-failing health in his last years, his willingness 
to accommodate and share with others, even to his own disadvantage, were some 
of the characteristics that drew and bound to him his fellowman as a constant 
friend.

   He is survived by his mother, Mrs. Anna Joyner; his wife, Mrs. Emily B. 
Joyner; one sister, Miss Annie Mae Joyner, four brothers, J.L., E.H. and W.T. 
Joyner, all of the Capron community, and F.T. Joyner of Ivor and four 
children, Bernard B., Frances and Emilyne Joyner and Mrs. H.B. Clauson, all of 
Norfolk.

   Burial was made in the family plot of Riverside Cemetery, Courtland, the 
services being conducted by Rev. H.F. Turner with music by the choir of the 
Courtland M.E. Church.  Active pallbearers were: John M. Britt, J.J. Dickens, 
C.W. Parker, T.B. Bell, J.E. Whitfield, R.G. Edwards, F.L. Davis and Jimmie 
Joyner.  Honorary pallbearers were friends of the family.
