JOSEPH BEAUREGARD JOYNER 

J.B. Joyner Of Burdette Killed At Rail Crossing 

  Joseph Beuregard [sic; Beauregard] Joyner, 85-year-old retired farmer, was 
killed Friday about 3 PM when he was struck by a Virginian Railway freight 
train at the Burdette station crossing. 

  It had been Joyner's custom for years to meet the Virginian passenger train 
due at Franklin at 3 PM.  He was struck by the freight as he started across 
the tracks to the station.  The freight usually arrives here a few minutes 
after the passenger train, which was late. 

  Joyner, a lifelong resident of Southampton County was the son of David and 
Mrs. Polly Eley Joyner and the husband of the late Mrs. Ada Charles Joyner. 
He is survived by two daughters Mrs. L.M. Raiford and Mrs. W.A. Talley of 
Burdette; 14 grandchildren and two great grandchildren. 

  He was a member of Burdette Baptist Church. 

  Funeral services were conducted Sunday at 4 PM at Burdette Baptist Church by 
the Rev. N.C. Clifton and the Rev. W.B. Watson.  Burial was in the family 
cemetery.
