Necrology

Harrell

William L. Harrell, an elder in the Dilton Church of Christ, near Murfressboro, Tennessee, died August 17, 1992, at his home. He was a faithful and devoted husband, father and grandfather and a scholarly, wise, and sound bishop of the church. Services with congregational singing were conducted in the building where he had worshipped for many years. He is survived by his wife, Irene; three children: Mrs. Jo Anne Kelton, Mrs. Susan Graddy, and one son, Billy.

The work in Latin America lost a staunch supporter at his death. The Dilton church supports brother Jorge Saurez Vega, who preaches for the church at Tula, Valle, Columbia, and has also helped support work in Madrid, Medellin, Colombia, Nigeria, and Honduras. The Dilton church spends more money on others than it spends in support of its local programs.
