A veteran of the U.S Army (Korean War) Mr. Walls died Saturday, March 11, 2006, at his residence.
The son of the late James Redman and Callie Lucille Trout Walls of Cornersville, Mr. Walls was a retired heavy equipment operator and a member of the Hillcrest Baptist Church.
He was also a member of the American Legion, the D.A.V., the Legion of Valor and the Korean War Association.
Sgt. Walls served as the Grand Marshal of the Lebanon Veteran’s Day Parade in 1996 and he was singled out for honors every Veteran’s Day as he was Wilson County’s most decorated veteran.
In protecting and defending his platoon in Korea, Sgt. Walls held off a large enemy force with automatic rifle fire and grenades, which enabled them to establish a successful defensive action.
He also rendered first aid and carried a wounded comrade to safety, stopping every few yards to fire on the enemy until his ammunition was exhausted. For his heroic actions he received the Distinguished Service Cross and membership in the Legion of Honor, near the top of our country’s highest awards.
“Claude Walls was a genuine hero who served his country with all his being and dedication, above and beyond the call of duty. He will be missed, ” said Lt. Col. Jim D. Henderson, (USAF ret.) coordinator and master of ceremonies for Veteran’s Day in Lebanon for the past several years.
Services were conducted by Rev. Glenn Denton and Lt. Col. Henderson. Interment
 with full military honors was in the Wilson County Memorial Gardens.

H. Ralph Denney
longtime auto dealer, farmer
LEBANON -- There was always that smile.
Ralph Denney was buried Monday afternoon at the Wilson County Memorial Park after fighting a courageous battle with cancer.
Known for his wisdom, expressed through humor and wit, he continued to joke with friends and family throughout his illness. The longtime car dealer and farmer died March 10, 2006, at the age of 82.
A native Wilson Countian, Mr. Denney was born January 16, 1924 to the late Henry Roy and Robbie Barrett Denney. He formerly owned West Main Motor Company and The Ralph Denney Motor Company, better known as The Car Patch.
He worked tirelessly for years helping alcoholics regain sobriety.
“Ralph inspired a lot of people, right on up to his death, ” said a longtime friend who wished to remain anonymous.
“He helped save my life and a bunch more right here in Lebanon. He never took any credit for himself. Ralph always gave credit to God.”
Mr. Denney was a member of the Lebanon Golf and Country Club of which he was a past president. He was on the Board of Directors of Peoples Bank, Third National and SunTrust Banks.
He was a member of the College Hills Church of Christ and a member of The Golfing Group. He was a devoted and loving husband, whose eyes lighted for his wife, Eloise and a wonderful father, grandfather and friend.
Among his greatest lessons to his children, grandchildren and friends were his courage and acceptance of death as part of the full circle of life and his readiness to go home to Jesus.
Even as his pain increased, he continued to give his caregivers smiles of welcome and appreciation. In response to a question about resentment, Ralph stated if you keep one eye on the past and the other on the future, you will be cross eyed today.
Graveside services were held Monday afternoon, March 13, 2006 in the Wilson County Memorial Park. A celebration of Mr. Denney’s life was held later Monday at the College Hills Church of Christ. Dr. Larry Locke and Bro. Randall Newman conducted the services.
