HAROLD REE BRETT

THE TIDEWATER NEWS – 01-31-1941

   Harold Reed Brett was born near Como, N.C., April 3, 1930, and died while 
spending the day at his grandmother Myrick’s last Friday, January 24. He was 
the son of Gordon and Charlotte Myrick Brett. “Little Reed,” as he was called 
by many of his friends, was very cheerful and animated, ever willing and 
trying to help. Although from his birth he had been in ill health, he never 
faltered until the end came. His little heart failed to function and he passed 
on to a land where there is no suffering. He leaves to mourn their loss his 
parents; one brother, Jarvis; two devoted grandmothers and other relatives. 
His body was laid to rest in the father’s family burying ground. The funeral 
was conducted by the Rev. F. L. Baker. The flowers were exceedingly beautiful 
and numerous. A large concourse of friends gathered for the last rites. 
Honorary pallbearers were friends of the family. Active pallbearers were 
Richard and Russell Railey, Ralph and Harry Barrett, Stanley Myrick and V.D. 
Thorpe, Jr.

   “Sleep on dear one and take thy rest,
   Though sad the parting, it may be best.”  - A friend.
