Last Sunday afternoon at his home in Turkeytown beat, Charlie Beard passed away to the great beyond, leaving a bereaved wife and some six or seven little children. Mr. Beard had been ill about ten days and the disease would not yield to treatment. He was a splendid farmer and a hard worker and always made a good living. We extend our sympathies to the bereaved ones.
