The funeral and burial of John Millard STURGILL, who died suddenly at Tampa, Florida, of paralysis of the heart, was largely attended on Wednesday of last week. It is said that the crowd was one of the largest ever assembled here. The funeral took place at the church of God at 12:15, sermon by Rev.
WILSON, Big Stone Gap, assisted by Rev. THOMAS, of this place. The flowers were beautiful, a lovely floral tribute coming from friends at the station at Tampa. The following were the active pallbearers: Rex
STEELE, John GILLESPIE, Tom LAMBERT, Logan RINGSTAFF, William
AZBURY, and Mr. BURKE, of Bluefield. The following are some of the out of town friends who were present: Mrs. M.J.
