SHELTON CARTER WORRELL 

SHELTON WORRELL IS FOUND DEAD IN BED WEDNESDAY NIGHT 

   The people of the county and especially in the Newsoms section where he 
lived, are grieved at the sudden death of Sheldon Carter Worrell Wednesday 
night, January 1.  Mr. Worrell had been sick with a cold for a few days, 
but was not considered ill in any way.  Retiring early Wednesday night, he 
was found dead in his sleep when his wife was retiring about 10 o’clock.

   Mr. Worrell was a native of Newsoms, the only child of Peter S. and Mrs. 
Zulie Carter Worrell.  He was the husband of Mrs. Margaret Hargrave Worrell, 
the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. B.V. Hargrave of Franklin, and there is one son, 
Sheldon Carter Worrell, Jr., besides many relatives and an unusually wide 
circle of friends.

   He was only 32 years of age, an overseas veteran of World War II, serving 
for four years in the Navy and retiring with the rank of Lieutenant.  He was 
a member of the Newsoms Methodist Church and of the Ruritan Club.  Funeral 
services will be held this (Friday) afternoon at 2:30 o’clock from the home 
of his parents in Newsoms conducted by Rev. J.W. Morrison of the Newsoms 
Methodist Church, with burial in the Newsoms Cemetery.  The pallbearers will 
be: Richard N. Darden, Jr., Marshall Vick, L.A. Worrell, B.L. O’Berry, Jr.,
