Burial Friday For Walter Hyde, 70

Funeral services were held Friday from the Sunset Baptist Church for Walter Hyde, 70, who died Thursday at the home of his sister, Mrs. Oakley [sic Okley] Jones, and Mr. Jones on Guadalupe Street. Rev. Bruner Lee, associate pastor of the First Baptist Church, and former pastor of the Sunset Church, officiated and interment was in the Sunset Cemetery under the direction of the Smith Funeral Home.

A native of Kerr County, Mr. Hyde had lived in the Divide Community all of his life. He was the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. T. C. Hyde. He had been an invalid for the most of his life and Mr. and Mrs. Jones moved to Kerrville three years ago from the Divide to be near medical attention for him. He had maintained his interest in ranching as his health would permit. He was of a quiet, retiring nature and due to his illness he spent most of his time at home. He had been blind for some time.

He is survived by two sisters, Mrs. Jones of Kerrville and Mrs. Tom Secrest of Uvalde; and one brother, Arthur Hyde, of Mountain Home.

The pallbearers were Lee Goff, Olen Walker, Archie Lee, Grady Walker, Bob Ned Talbert and Temple Henderson.
