    Lee Fread Obituary

    ------------------
    (Robert) Lee Fread, died Thursday [9 December 1963] at his home (in or near St Charles, Arkansas County, Arkansas);
    Born 4 Jan 1890 near St Charles.
    Member of Bellevue (Belleview) Baptist Church at Ethel (a few miles osth of St Charles)
    Funeral in St Charles Baptist Church.
    Burial by Essex Funeral Home (DeWitt, Arkansas)
    The obit does not report place of burial.

    The obit reports that funeral services "will be conducted" Saturday.  Taken literally this would indicate the funeral was not held until 19 Dec.  But this is highly unusual.  The other possiblity is that, being published in the Sunday paper, this is an edit error, and should have read "were conducted" on Saturday, which would have been 11 Dec, 2 days after the death, which was more common.
