HENRY WALTER LLOYD

   H.W. Lloyd, a well-known and highly-esteemed citizen of Franklin for many 
years, died at his home here Saturday night after a long period of ill-health. 
Henry Walter Lloyd, who was 81 years of age, a native of Chatham County, N.C., 
the son of the late Henry M. and Mrs. Elizabeth Patterson Lloyd, moved to our 
town a young man as telegraph operator for the Seaboard Railway, afterward 
becoming Seaboard agent here.  When the Western Union Telegraph Company 
established separate offices here he was agent for that  company until failing 
eyesight forces his retirement about 12 years ago.

   He was a man of the highest principles of honor and integrity, and is 
remembered with affection by many of our older residents.  A consistent 
Christian gentleman, a member of the Franklin Baptist Church and of its Bruner 
Bible Class, he is survived by his wife, Mrs. Ora Johnson Lloyd of Franklin; 
two sons, Arthur E. Lloyd of Florence, S.C. and Joe L. Lloyd of Franklin; one 
daughter, Mrs. James V. Comly of Ardmore, Penn., and three grandchildren; 
three sisters, Mrs. Henry Harward of Raleigh, Mrs. Fred Noe of Pittsboro, N.C. 
and Mrs. Robert G. Ferrell of Aberdeen, N.C. and a number of nieces and 
nephews.

   Funeral services were held at his residence on Bogart Avenue, Monday 
afternoon at 5 o’clock by the Rev. R.D. Stephenson, burial following in Poplar 
Spring Cemetery.  Active pallbearers were W.M. Weede, Cecil Vaughan, 3rd, 
Richmond Peters, G.J. Johnson, J.F. Matthews and Dr. J.B. Powell.
