Funeral To Be Thursday
Afternoon
Sherman Tyson, age 25, died at
his home in Marshall Wednesday
morning about nine o'clock. For
nine months he had suffered every
agony possible for a human being to
suffer. Only a skeleton from his
waist down, not even covered with
skin, the spirit of life remained buoy
ant and hopeful and perfectly con
scious up to the very hour of death.
He was literally burned to -death in
April, -1994, when the truck which
. he was driving turned over, catching
him in such a way that he could not
escape the flames which enveloped
the truck. When found, he was
thrown by those who found him in
to a branch of running water. Since
then, he spent some time in an Ashe
vifle hospital and with different rel
atives, considerable time being spent
with his sister, Mrs. Fred Morrow,
later being moved by another sister
to rooms over the store of Mr. J. &
Wtt where be died. At the time of
his death he was in the care of Mrs.
Grace Sorrtlli and -- Miss
Pauline Tyson, and was having med
ical attention from Dr. Sams. How
ever, dopes narcotics could not be
used, except in the mildest forms.
His endurance is a marvelous illus
tration of what appears impossible.
He is survived by his father, Rob-,
ert Tyson, the father f 13,' nine of
whom survive as follows: , Mrs."w(n
Moody, Mrs, Tm Thornton, rlfjrsv

STATE WIDE FOREST FIRE CONTROL
PLAN IS SOUGHT
By C. F. Fortnei
In a high spirited game last Fri
day night on the Walnut court, the
Marshall Bulldogs nosed out a strong
Walnut quint 12-10. Very little
shooting was done due to the fine
guarding of both teams. The Bull
dogs took the lead in the first quar
ter and never lost it
the half was 11-7 The. Teague
brothers and Dillard played a great
defensive game while Ramsey, Bull
dog forward, shot most of the points.
Reece starred for the losers.
Before this game Hot Springs H.
S. took a double-header' from Mar
shall high school.; -t The , girls' game
was one-sided but the boys' game was
closely played. The final score was
22-21.
