Last Friday morning the community was shocked to learn that another of our old residents, W. W. CLOYD, had passed away. He had been in his usual health, but died suddenly of heart failure.  The funeral was held from his home at 11 o’clock Sunday morning, Rev. Ford of Meadow Grove conducting the services. Interment was made at the Jackson cemetery.
