On Saturday morning, March 26, 1926, Mr. Sidney Heavner, an industrious farmer and good citizen of Township No. 6, died at his home on the farm of Thurman Horne from a paralytic stroke. Deceased has been an invalid for about three years as the victim of some two or three attacks of paralysis. His remains were buried at Union Cemetery with ritual of Baptists church of which he was a consistent member, Rev. Gordon Washburn conducting the funeral rites. Deceased leaves a family and many friends and relatives to mourn his loss. From the front page of The Cleveland Star, Shelby, N.C., Monday, March 8, 1926 I didn't put the deceased's name in the headline because the last name was spelled “Heavenr” in headline and “Heavner” story. Date of death in a newspaper printed March 8 was given as March 26, which would also be incorrect.
