W. W. GREENWELL PASSES SUNDAY - 10 CHILDREN, 200 GRAND AND GREAT-GRANDCHILDREN SURVIVE HIM - Mr. W. W. Greenwell, age 78 years, died at his home in Bardstown Sunday afternoon following an illness of weeks resulting from cancer of the stomach. Mr. Greenwell was in many ways a remarkable man.

Cross and Mrs. Russel Biven; and four sons, Esquires Howard and Rodney, and Russell and Thomas Greenwell; seventy grandchildren and 130 great-grandchildren. Messrs.
