DEATH OF A YOUNG MAN OF SEVILLE

SEVILLE - Everybody was shocked last Thursday morning, November 26th, when they heard that Lester Yelvington was dead.

Lester was night watchman for The Grower Sales Co., Inc., packing house, and was feeling well or at least had not complained of feeling bad the evening before when the house closed about11:30.

The next morning he was found lying on the floor in the engine room, next to the coloring room, face down, dead. He had not been dead but a short while as the body was still warm. Evidently he had been gassed as there were no signs to prove anything else.

He was carried to his father's home where the body was prepared for burial.

Funeral services took place Friday morning at 11 at the Methodist Church; Rev. Johnson in charge of services. The body laid to rest in the Seville Cemetery.

Pallbearers were, Messrs. Turner, E. C. Byrd, N. B. Edmunds, Milo Newman, Leon Price and George Bennett.

Lester Yelvington was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Reuben Yel­vington and was born and raised here. He was about 25 years of age. He was above-the-average good boy and a member of the Methodist Church and was well thought of by everybody.

He leaves a father, mother, one brother, and seven sisters.
