WILLIAM THOMAS JOYNER

    William Thomas Joyner, son of the late Elijah Gilliam Joyner and the late 
Mary Anna Williams Joyner, was born January 1, 1882, and departed this life 
September 19, 1942, in Richmond, Virginia, having spent the greater portion of 
the last two years in the hospitals and nursing homes of that city in a vain 
effort to regain his declining health, the end coming as a result of pneumonia.

   Until forced to leave active business pursuits because of failing health, 
Mr. Joyner was engaged in business, both in Virginia and Georgia, the majority 
of the time being identified with the peanut industry.

   Funeral services were conducted at the grave in Riverside Cemetery in 
Courtland on Monday by the Rev. W.W. Beasley, assisted by the Rev. John B. 
Isom.  A selected choir sang "What a Friend We Have in Jesus" and "In the 
Sweet Bye and Bye." Mr. Joyner was a member of Whitehead Methodist Church. 
Pallbearers were C.W. Parker, R.G. Edwards, Robbie Bryant, Fred Barker, 
William Joyner and Marvin P. Sebrell.

   Besides a number of friends he is survived by one sister, Miss Annie Mae 
Joyner of Courtland, and three brothers, E.H. and J.L. Joyner of Courtland and 
Prof. F.T. Joyner of Ivor and a number of nieces and nephews.
