Mr. James A. Gentry, local watchmaker and jeweler, died early Tuesday morning after an illness lasting about 24 hours. He was 66 years old and is survived by his widow and three children.
Mr. Gentry was taken ill Monday morning with acute diabetes. He had suffered with this disease for some time but in a mild form. Poison from clogged kidneys resulted in his serious illness.
The funeral was conducted yesterday afternoon by Rev. R.E. Ward at Center church and interment was in the church cemetery.
Mr. Gentry had been living in Yadkinville for several years, moving here from Mocksville. He was a native of this county, but many years ago moved to Winston-Salem where he worked his trade for many years.
