“FUNERAL SERVICES FOR FRANK CLOYD OF ANTELOPE VALLEY”
Funeral services were held at the Community church Sunday, Jan. 6, for Frank Cloyd, who was found dead in his car early last Thursday morning. Cloyd had lived in Antelope valley several years and previously had resided at the Fales Hot Springs for some time. He lived with Mr. And Mrs. Jack Gillespie at the southern end of the valley. He had been in poor health for several years.
His death was a great shock to his many friends here.
He was a veteran of World War I and belonged to the American Legion at Bridgeport. Funeral services were conducted by the American Legion and the Marine Corps of Pickel Meadows. Rev. H. Grant Harvey of Gardnerville, participated in the services. The flag-draped casket, flagbearers and guard were surrounded by the many beautiful floral tributes. Solos sung by Mervin Bryant were “The Old Rugged Cross,” “Rock of Ages” and “Beautiful Isle of Somewhere” with Miss Leah Martin as accompanist at the piano. As cremation was Frank's wish, the final military services, including the firing squad and taps were held in the yard at the Church. The flag was presented to one of Frank's brothers. Two of Frank's brothers and wives from southern California were present as were several special friends from his home town.
