LLOYD NURNEY 

COUNTY MAN DIES IN TRAILER FIRE NEAR SUFFOLK; HAS RELATIVE IN COURTLAND 

FUNERAL TUESDAY AT NEWSOMS 

   Lloyd Nurney, 36, a Southampton County man, died Sunday morning in a 
trailer fire near Suffolk.

   Nurney body was found after the flames subsided in the fire that 
completely consumed the interior of the house trailer.

   A World War II veteran, Nurney had been working at the Rountree Dairy, 
where the fire occurred, for six and seven years.

   Nurney’s mother, Mrs. Caroline B. Nurney*, and a brother, A.R. Nurney, 
live in Courtland.  He is also survived by two children, Mary Frances and 
Patricia, two sisters, Mrs. John Smith of Richmond and Mrs. Tony Rainon 
of New York, and several nieces and nephews.

   Funeral services were conducted Tuesday afternoon at the graveside in 
the Newsoms Cemetery by the Rev. O.L. Gouchenour, pastor of the Newsoms 
Methodist Church.

Pallbearers 

   Pallbearers were Steve Bryant, Harry Bryant, R.A. Ballard, Leslie 
Whitehead, Gillette Bryant and W.T. Bryant.

   A neighbor, Willie J. Teal, first spotted the fire Sunday morning.  The 
blaze apparently started in the bedroom end of the trailer.

   Nansemond County fireman arrived around 7:15 a.m. to put out the flames. 
No attempt had been made to save Nurney from the fire, since friends said 
it had been his habit to leave early Sunday morning.

   A barn near the trailer caught fire but was quickly extinguished by dairy 
workers.
