J. W. Crump - Madison Parish, Louisiana

From Tallulah Madison Journal August 10, 1929

J. W. CRUMP SUCCUMBS AT HIS HOME WEDNESDAY NIGHT

J. W. Crump, aged 70, prominent planter of Waverly section and a member of the Police Jury, died at 
his home near Waverly late Wednesday night. It is believed that death was caused by a sudden 
heart attack.

Funeral services were held at Tallulah Thursday afternoon at 4 o'clock with interment at the Tallulah 
Cemetery with a large concourse of friends present.

Mr. Crump is survived by his widow, three sons, Arthur, now living in Alabama, Charles of Waverly and 
Wesley of Monroe, and one daughter, Mrs. Eugene Dyers.

My Crump Wednesday attended a meeting of the Madison Parish Police Jury in Tallulah. After the session 
he returned to his home in his usual health, ate a hearty supper and soon thereafter retired. About 
ten o'clock he got up to get a drink of water and a few minutes later his wife heard him fall to the 
floor. She rushed to his assistance and helped him back to bed. His death occurred a few minutes later.

Mr. Crump's death is a cause of much regret in this parish and throughout the state. The Journal joins 
the entire parish in extending to the family its heartfelt sympathy.
