COURTLAND MAN DIES OF HURT SUSTAINED IN HIGHWAY MISHAP

   Frank Redd Ranson, 32, Courtland manufacturer of tents and awnings, died 
Monday morning, May 30, in Raiford Memorial Hospital of injuries received 
Friday afternoon about five o'clock in an automobile accident on the Franklin-

a signboard off the right of the road.

   He was the son of Franklin Alexander Ranson of Farmville and the late Mrs. 
Gertrude Redd Ranson, and the husband of Mrs. Katherine Edwards Ranson of 
Courtland.  He was a member of the Courtland Baptist Church.

   In addition to his wife and father he is survived by one son, Frank Redd 
Ranson, Jr., and one daughter Alice Faye Ranson, both of Courtland and one 
brother, Clyde Alexander Ranson of Farmville.

   Funeral services for Mr. Ranson were held at the Courtland Baptist Church 
on Tuesday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock, the pastor, Rev. L.M. Kanipe, 
officiating.  Burial was in the Courtland cemetery, active pallbearers being 
Tuland Duncan, Albert Johnson, Willie Uhrick, Bruce Redd, Milton T. Futrell,
