Homer Packwood, the eighteen year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Packwood, west of Exeter, died Saturday of a stomach and bowel trouble. Funeral services were held Sunday and his body laid to rest in the cemetery at Exeter. The family have the sympathy of the entire community in the hours of deep grief, which has come to them.
