Mr. Tom Pritchett Found Dead Near Home Saturday
W. T. Pritchett, 63, was found dead in some woods near his home in Stranges district last Saturday night. Coroner Willie Lee Smith was called and after impending a jury, a verdict was rendered that Mr. Pritchett came to his death from a heart attack. No. bruises were found, and since he had been suffering from a heart ailment, this seemed the only plausible reason for his death. He had been visiting nearby neighbors where there was illness in the family.
