DR. W.L. HARTSELL DIES IN LITTLE ROCK
Former Rison Citizen Succumbs at Hospital Following Operation Saturday Dr. William Luther Hartsell, aged 60 years, of Warren, died Saturday afternoon at 4 o'clock at a Little Rock hospital where he had been for two days. He had undergone an operation for appendicitis when, pneumonia developed and the complication was too much for his condition. He became ill late Wednesday afternoon at Warren and was carried to Little Rock the following day.
Born in North Carolina, Dr. Hartsell moved to this state with his parents when a lad of about 10 years. A large part of the time since has been spent in Cleveland County,
where he first began the practice of medicine after his university graduation. He practiced at Draughon for a number of years and for a short time was located at Rison, but moved from here to Warren several years ago where he has since lived. He had a large practice in that city and surrounding territory and also operated a hospital there.
He was one of the most beloved citizens of his city and enjoyed the confidence and esteem of all his friends. He was possessed of a lovable and unselfish nature that endeared him to those with whom he came in contact. He was a member of the Methodist Church, the Masonic Lodge and order of Shriners.
He is survived by his wife of Warren; one brother, A.C. Hartsell of Pine Bluff and a large number of nieces and nephews. Mrs. Jane Hartsell of this city is a sister-in-law.
Funeral services were held at the home in Warren Monday morning. Burial was in the family lot at Union cemetery at Rye in charge of the Masonic fraternity.
