HENRY P. VICK

   Funeral services for Henry P. Vick, a native of this county, who was burned 
to death in a truck accident last Friday morning, were conducted at Sedley 
Baptist Church last Sunday afternoon at 3 o’clock by the pastor, the Rev. 
Floyd P. Davis, with burial in the church cemetery.  The church choir, 
accompanied by Mrs. K.G. Howell, sang "In the Sweet Bye and Bye," "Having 
Thine Own Way" and " Does Jesus Care?"  Floral tributes were numerous and the 
casket was covered with a pall of red roses and lilies. Pallbearers were H.E. 
Savage, Jr., T.E. Britt, J.C. Bradshaw, Joe Kent, Bruce Baker, M.P. Lawrence, 
Brantley Watkinson and Bill King.

   The fatal wreck occurred near Hightstown, N.J. as Vick, who was 25, and 
Willie Green, 26, were en route to New York with a load of Planters candies, 
having left Suffolk Thursday afternoon.  The truck struck an abutment on the 
highway and turned over, catching fire and trapping the men underneath until 
they were dragged away from it after both had perished.

   Mr. Vick is survived by his father, Henry Luke Vick of the Sedley 
community; four brothers, Britton, Felton and Albert Vick of Sedley and 
Carlton Vick of New York; four sisters, Mrs. Lizzie Cross, Mrs. J.C. Dail and 
Mrs. Roy Harris of Suffolk and Miss Sue Vick of Sedley community.
