RICHARD EVERETT BARRETT

R.E. BARRETT PASSES AT HOME IN BOYKINS

   Richard Everett Barrett, well-known and esteemed citizen of Boykins, died 
August 8 after a lingering illness. Mr. Barrett was the son of the late Richard 
Alexander Barrett, who came to this county from Mississippi many years ago and 
settling in the Statesville community married Miss Martha Frances Everett of the 
well-known family of that name in this county. Mr. Barrett attended school at 
Buckhorn Academy, Como, N.C., studying under the venerable Captain Julian H. 
Picot, and later attended V.P.I.  He was engaged in the lumber business at 
Severn, N.C., for some years, and had made his home in Boykins during the later 
years of his life where he was a good and useful citizen, active in civic 
affairs and served his county and district as a member of the Board of 
Supervisors of Southampton County.

   Early in life he joined Barnes M.E. Church in the Statesville community, 
being at all times a faithful, loyal and consistent communicant of his church. 
Besides his wife, Mrs. Adna Wood Barrett, he is survived by two children, 
Richard E. and Garnet Bailey Barrett; by three brothers, Thos. H. and Hugh A. 
Barrett of Statesville and J.E. Barrett of Carrsville; by two sisters, Mrs. 
Nettie B. Bryant and Mrs. Bessie B. Thorpe of the Newsoms section, and by a wide 
circle of relatives and friends.

   Funeral services were conducted from his late residence in Boykins last 
Friday afternoon at 4 o’clock by his Pastor, Rev. J.L. Kibler of the Boykins 
M.E. Church, assisted by Mr. Barrett’s nephew, Rev. Ormond R. Bryant, pastor of 
St. James’ M.E. Church, Richmond, and by the Rev. Frank B. Handley of the 
Boykins Baptist Church. Burial was made in the cemetery at Severn, N.C., a large 
assemblage of friends being in attendance. The active pallbearers were: A.L. 
Knight, L.A. Hill, J.H. Barnes, T.H. Barrett, H.A. Barrett, J.E. Barrett, Rosser 
Bryant and R.S. Edwards. Honorary bearers were selected from a number of 
friends.
