MAYNARD LAMB

   Maynard Lamb, age 66 years, died Saturday morning, April 7, at Roanoke 
Rapids Hospital, after a brief illness.  He is survived by his widow, one 
daughter, Mrs. William Taylor of Branchville, one granddaughter and one 
sister, Mrs. Jesse D. Vick, of Courtland.

   Mr. Lamb was a prominent farmer of the Capron community and for the past 
fifteen years had been a deacon of Hebron Baptist Church, of which he was a 
member.

   Funeral services were held at the home near Capron Sunday afternoon at 
4:00 p.m. with the Rev. J. Bailey Jones of Drewryville officiating.  He was 
assisted by the Rev. Mr. Lyons.  The choir of Hebron church furnished the 
music and used the following selections: "What A Friend We Have in Jesus," 
"In the Sweet Bye and Bye," and "It Is Well with My Soul."

   Honorary pallbearers were friends of the family.  Active pallbearers were 
Percy Ellis, Otis Davis, Collis Davis, Howard Simmons, James Turner, George 
Turner and Curry Flythe.

   The unusually large attendance at the services and the profusion of flowers 
showed in what high esteem Mr. Lamb was held in his community.

   Burial was in Capron cemetery.
