   Funeral services for Mrs. Lucy Presson Joyner, 70, of Courtland were

Suffolk, the result of injuries received late the afternoon before in an 
automobile accident between Courtland and Dendron, according to the State 
police.  She was driving alone from her home to Dendron, when she apparently 
lost control of the vehicle which left the road and crashed into a tree.  Both 
of her legs were broken and her lung was injured.

   The deceased was the widow of William Henry Joyner.  She is survived by a 
daughter, Miss Ethel Lee Joyner of Courtland; a son, William Henry Joyner of
