HARRELL, FRANK C.: Newspaper Obituary and Death Notice
Advocate, The (Baton Rouge, LA) - Tuesday, November 15, 1988
Deceased Name: HARRELL, FRANK C.
Died 6 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 13, 1988, at Pike Memorial Hospital, Kentwood. He was 87, a native of Amite County, Miss., and resident of Kentwood.
Visiting at McKneely Funeral Home, Kentwood, 8 a.m. until religious services at 11 a.m. Tuesday, conducted by the Rev. Teman Knight. Burial in Woodland Cemetery.
Survived by wife, Mrs. Bettie Woodard Harrell, Kentwood; a daughter, Christine Harrell, Kentwood; two sons, Clyde W. Harrell Sr., Greensburg, and Charles L. "Chuck" Harrell Sr., Baton Rouge; two brothers, Wilson Harrell, Greensburg, and Modie Harrell, Zachary; 11 grandchildren; 11 great-grandchildren; and a great-great-grandchild.
Frank Harrell's daughter, Cassie Christine Harrell said that her father was either born in Louisiana or Gillsburg, MS. She said that she was unsure as to exactly which place he was born, as they lived along the state line between St. Helena Parish and the Mississippi state line.
Christine advised that her father made a living driving trucks. She said he drove log trucks, gravel trucks, and transported large dipping vats. She related one instance, when she was a child and they were living in Liverpool, LA, her father was burned severely on his neck and face. The burns were the result of an accident when her father was fueling a log truck after dark. To be able to see to put in the fuel, they used an electric light which caused the fuel to ignite and burn him. Christine indicated that, in spite of the severity of the burns, there was never any noticeable scarring. He later became deaf and she attributed this, at least partially, to the burn injuries. She said that later in his life he was unable to hear at all without a hearing aid. Even with the hearing aid, his hearing was limited.
One of Christine's fond memories of her father is the fact that late in his life, he absolutely loved watching baseball on television. She said that after baseball season was over, her father seemed to be lost for a while. He could hardly wait for the beginning of the next season.
