THE TIDEWATER NEWS – 01-06-1939, P. 4
NANNIE B. MILES DERBY

   Mrs. Nannie B. Derby, 65, wife of J.P. Derby and daughter of the late Mr. and 
Mrs. William Miles of Southampton County, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. 
G.H. Duck, at Phoebus, Sunday night. Though she was in failing health for 
several years her death came as a shock to her family and friends, Mrs. Derby 
having left Sunday for a visit with her daughter in Phoebus.

   Besides Mrs. Duck she is survived by another daughter, Mrs. Charles Derby of 
Gates, N.C.; five sons: Rev. Luther Derby of Hampton, Rev. Edward Derby of 
Montvale, Virgil Derby of Handsom, Carson Derby of Richmond and J.P. Derby, Jr. 
Petersburg; seven grandchildren; two brothers, Emmett and Milton Miles of 
Handsom; three sisters, Mrs. Pugh Holland and Mrs. Lulu Holland, both of 
Handsom, and Mrs. Catherine Britton of Portsmouth, besides a large family 
connection in the county.

   Funeral services were conducted Wednesday afternoon from New Hope M.E. Church 
by her pastor, the Rev. C.F. Moseley, assisted by the Rev. Mr. Vaughan of Gates 
County. The choir sang “Safe in the Arms of Jesus,” “Haven of Rest” and “Have 
Thine Own Way.” Pallbearers were J.T. Bryant, L.L. Bryant, J.W. Bryant, S.S. 
Bishop, W.M. Worrell and V.K. Daughtrey.

   Interment was made in the family cemetery at the home of Milton Miles, near 
the church. The casket was covered with white carnations, lilies and ferns. The 
sympathy of the Handsom community goes out especially to the husband, who has 
been a patient in Veterans Hospital at Phoebus for eight years.
