Vinson, Tommy
The Matfield Green community was saddened Sunday afternoon when it became that “Tommy” Vinson, high school senior and the son of Mr. and Mrs. T. D.

He was senior in the Matfield Green High School and his popularity was attested by the extreme loyalty of his many friends through his long illness. He was the type of youth of whom any mother would be proud to say, “He is my son.” He was a member of the Christian Endeavor and active in its activities.

Thomas Dwight Vinson, Jr., was born June 25, 1915, near Homestead, and passed away at the home of his parents at Matfield Green, at 2:45 Sunday afternoon, December 3, 1933. He leaves to mourn his death his parents, Mr. and Mrs. T. D. Vinson, and a sister, Marjorie.
