Robert Jackson McClure, 56, logger in the Union Hill community of Giles County, was killed instantly about 8:30 a. m. Monday when struck between the shoulder and hip by a tree which he was felling on Reed Hill in the community, about 12 miles southwest of Pulaski.
Funeral services were held at 2:00 p. m. Wednesday at the Chestnut Grove Methodist Church by the Rev. Mack Pinkelton, Baptist minister. Burial took place in the church cemetery.
Sheriff P. M. Butler said McClure and a helper, Thurman A. Butler, were working in an isolated area and, when the accident occurred, Butler was unable to lift the tree from Mr. McClure's body until others arrived at the scene to assist. Mr. McClure was using a power sawto fell an 80-foot tree when the saw "kicked back", causing the tree to fall the wrong way, pinning him underneath.
A native of Giles County, Mr. McClure was the son of the late Alfred and Minerva Stafford McClure. He was a member of the Methodist Church.
Survivors include his wife, Mrs. Lizzie Whitby McClure; a son, James Herbert McClure; two daughters, Mrs. Ralph Nonennemarch and Mrs. Johnnie Brock, both of Elkhart, Ind.; six grandchildren; a brother, Marvin McClure, Goodspring; and three sisters, Mrs. Columbus Smith, Lawrenceburg, Mrs. Ed Hobbs and Mrs. Thurman Butler, both of Union Hill.
