Of Advance Dies at 83
"Mayor Will" Hendrix, whose
lifetime hobby of passing diit
candy to children \von many a
youngster's heart, died Monday.
Death came at 9 p.m. to the
man everyone knew simply a.s
"Mayor Will." Ho-died at his
home ip Advance after a serious
illness of two weeks.
His age was officially listed as
83. But members of his family
s^nid he was actually over 85.
A favorite with young.stors, the
old mon often told his family:
"When I die, no flower.-!—just
a plenty of candy for the kids
and 0 party for all."
Will Hendrix (few know him
by the name of William Ander
son Hendrix; began ids lifetime
hobby of passing out candy while
he was still a teen-ager.
Whenever ho saw a child, his
hand would steal toward his big
shirt pocket and out would come
a brlgijl-CQlored sucker.
While perbapT best known for
his candy handouts, Mayor. Will
made -a name for himself in
other' ficld^, loo.
He was the first man 1^ Davic
County to own a cor.'ovay back
in 1004. And after 500.000 miles
of driving, he still had never had
an accident or legal citation for
a traffic violation.
^ He'became moyor of Advance
early in the cenluiy. Since he
was still mayor when the last
aklormnn died and the town
ccoscd being a munlcipolily, he
held the title of "the last mayor
of Advance."
Will Hendrix was born on a
farm in the Fork Church com
munity, the son James Mon
roe and Jane Gnrwood Hendrix.
He attended the" one-room Fork
School and Turrcnllne Summer
School near Mocksvlllc and be
came valedictorian bis class.,
While still in his early teens,
ho rigged out a covered ^wagon
and began a career as a tobacco
peddler, selling to stores and
camping out at nigHts. Every
child who came to his wagon got
a piece of candy trom'the "trav
eling man." Later, he operated a
hotel in Salisbury for several
years.
' He was married in 1800 to
Miss Hosa Jane Cornatzcr and
they moved to Advance several
years later. They had 13 children,
eight of whom ore still living.
In the early HMO's. "Mayor Will"
became moll carrier between the
depot and the post office, a job
that required him to meet the
two daily trains, the 11:30 a.m.
and the 4:31 p.m.
Surviving arc».hls wife; two
sons, W. A. Hendrix of the iiomc
and Bernio H. 1-Iondrlx of the

\ thnl the deaths oC W. Howard
Norman, 45, and his wife, Alzn,
41, were n muvdor and a svilclde.
No Inquest was necessary.
Dr. Brandon reached his decis
ion after YndUin County Sheriff
A. F. (Dill) Boxlcy dosed his In
vestigation with the questioning
of Clyde Cleary, about 45, of Yad-
klnvillc, Rt. 1. Mr. CIcary Is be
lieved to be the lost person to sec
the Normans alive.
The bodies of the Yadkin Coun
ty farmer and his wife wore
found dmt to death about 1 p.m.
Friday in the living room of their
home about six miles south of
Yodklnvillo on U. S. Highway 001,
near the Dnvic County lino. The
bodies were found by Calvin Wiil-
ard and Luther Chandler, both of
Yadkinville, Rt. 1.
A singlc-Sliot .410 gauge shot
gun lay on the floor about a yard
away from the couch on which the
bodies lay. The gun contained an
expended shell. Nearby was an
other spent shell.
The lights on the porch of the
iiouse and in the room were burn
ing. A quart jar partly filled with
■whiskey was found near the
coueh. There wore no signs of
struggle. Sheriff Moxloy said.
Dr. Brandon estimated that the
couple had been dead from 6 to
10 hours when they wore found.
Both died of a single shot in the
breast, he snid.
Sheriff Moxlcy quoted Mr.
Cleary of saying he left the Nor
man homo about 10:05 p.m. Thurs
day and that the couple appeared
to be normal. Nothing happened
during his visit that would have
provoked the shooting. Mr. Cleary
sold Mr.. Clcary's visit reported
ly concerned arrangements with
Mr. Norman to saw some wood for
him this week.
Officers theorized that Mr. Nor
man knocked his wife unconscious
with a heavy weapon and then
shot her as she slumped on the
couch. They speculated that the
husband then reloaded the gun,
sold own on the couch beside his
wife's body, put the gun to his
chest and tripped the trigger with
his bare Iocs.
