Notes

Community Is Shocked By Death Of Popular Youth Final rites for James Marion Eubanks, 16, were held last Thursday at Southern Funeral Chapel in Lexington. Burial followed in Odd Fellows Cemetery.

Young Eubanks was stricken while practicing for football on the Lexington High School field Tuesday afternoon. He died in Holmes County Community Hospital early Wednesday afternoon.

A cerebral hemorrhage, “not necessarily related to his football activities,” was the cause of death, according to the attending physician.

He would have been a junior in LHS this year.

The Reverend Crawford Ray officiated at the funeral with Southern Funeral Home in charge of arrangements.

Survivors include his parents, Mr. and Mrs. James Welborn Eubanks; a brother, Walter Thomas Eubanks; and a sister, Beth Eubanks, all of Lexington.

Pallbearers were Bill Davis, Larry Holder, Nat Blaylock, Mills Heard, Charles Ivy, Larry Mayo, Stanley Dillon, Buddy Hathcock, Ed Word and Bubba Stewart.
