a short while away. He was born in
Brownsville, Tenn, in 1889 and moved
to Grenada about thirteen years ago
from Sardis. He was a Confederate
veteran, having served thruout the
Civil war as a member of the Tennes-

Mr.. Proudfit was a useful n highly
respected citizen, and lived a quiet and
u%nassuming life. He was good chris
tian man, a good neighbor and vas al
ways kind TO and thoughtful of his chill
dren and was revered and beloved by
them. He had four children, all of
whom survive him, two Sons and two
daughters, j. H. Proudft, Jr., of Mem
phis, E. H. Proudfit of Grenada, Miss
Fay Proudft of Oxford, and Miss Lydie
of Grenada.
