HERD, L.M. - (from Clantonville} After being sick for a week L.M. Herd passed away Friday, Jan. 15th. The funeral was preached by Evangelist Smith and his body was laid to rest in Bayless cemetery Sunday. The children were all present but Fay, who lives in Washington. There are three other boys, Earl, living in Seligman, John at Decatur (only two named); two daughters, Maggie Combs of Seligman and Elva Gann of Joplin. One sister, Mrs. Hency, with her husband from Oklahoma, stayed with him in his last hours. His other two sisters, Mrs. Masters and Mrs. Reed were unable to come on account of sickness. His brothers had preceded him some few years. Besides his family and sisters he leaves a host of relatives and friends. Plain evidence of the fact was seen by the large crowd which gathered to pay respects in spite of the bad rainy day. He had long been a faithful member of the Missionary Baptist church and his vacant chair will cause many thoughts of sorrow.
