Friends here were grieved to learn of the sudden death early Saturday of the Rev. Albert Capwell Wyckoff, pastor of the Presbyterian Church at Columbia. Though he had been under a doctor's care for high blood pressure in recent months, he had gone about his duties as usual. The fatal attack came late in the night, and he passed away only a short time later.

Mr. Wyckoff, who was widely known in church circles in this area, in 1930 & 1931 was located in Lebanon as a Sunday School missionary under the Board of National Missions of the Presbyterian Church, U.S.A. This was a post he filled in the mountains of Kentucky & Arkansas for 12 years. Later, he was for two years superintendent of home missions in Transylvania Presbytery under U.S. & U.S.A. boards. He served four years as a pastor of Madisonville Presbyterian Church, & would have been at Columbia five years in April, this year.

Mr. Wyckoff also was the author of 31 books, including two series of boys' books & several novels. Both he & his wife, Mrs. Edna May DeKyne Wyckoff, were active in young people's work & in community affairs.

He was a native of Elizabeth, N.J.

His wife survives. Also surviving are two daughters, Miss Dorothy Wyckoff of Louisville, who was born in Lebanon, while the family resided here, & Mrs. Robert Chapman, Jr., of Columbia; one granddaughter, & a brother & sister, both of Newark, |N.J.

Funeral services were conducted Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the Columbia church by Dr. George S. Watson of Louisville, assisted by the Rev. Joe T. Sudduth of Campbellsville. Burial was in the cemetery at Columbia.
