Here are some more of the obits from a scrapbook of a lady (a distant
cousin) that lived in the Jesup, Lawrence County area of Arkansas already.
Remember that the problem with these is that there are very few actual
dates given for the dates of death, and there are no newspaper names
written beside them. What I do know I've listed, and what was penciled in
on the obit, I've included. If you find someone that is attached to you,
please let me know, and I will try and see if I can find any other
information for you, such as date of death if you don't have it, and
possibly a newspaper name, also.

L.E. Massey Funeral Here Wednesday

(This is probably from the Batesville Guard newspaper, but I do not know
the date)

        Funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon at the Moorefield Methodist
church for Luther E. Massey who died from a heart attack Tuesday afternoon
about 3:40 o'clock while walking on the highway near his home a few miles
from Batesville.  Rev. Horace Dunlap, pastor of the church was assisted by
Rev. Conner Morehead presiding elder of the Batesville District, and Dr.
John Crockett, president of Arkansas College in conducting the service.
        The church was filled to overflowing with sorrowing friends for Mr. Massy
was loved by people in every walk of life and of every age through out the
county.  He led a busy life as farmer and head of a large dairying
business, but he took an active part in the civic and religious life of the
community and was a leader in every movement for advancement of education
or social betterment.  He was interested in the welfare of young people and
in the development of Christian character.  He was a firm believer in the
value of an education and his ambition for his children was that
educational opportunities should be available to them.
        He is survived by his wife, the former Miss Bertie Mack, two daughters,
Virginia and Marie; three sons, Luther Edgar, Jr., Gene Mack, Young Mack;
one sister, Mrs. R.H. Leggett of Moorefield; and two brothers, E.B. Massey
of Newport; and J.B. Massey of Los Angeles, Calif.

of arrangements.
