THE TIDEWATER NEWS – 06-09-1955, I-4
GUY CARLETON PICOT

AGED 98 YEARS, DIES SUNDAY A.M.

   Guy Carleton Picot, prominent retired farmer and merchant, died at his home 
in Como, N.C., at 2 o’clock Sunday morning, June 5, after several months of 
failing health. At the time of his death he was 98 years, two months and 16 days 
old, having been born on March 20, 1857.

   A life-long resident of Hertford County, N.C., he was a member of Buckhorn 
Baptist Church, in which he served as senior deacon for many years.

   He was the son of Capt. Julian Henri Picot of Plymouth, N.C., and Antoinette 
Sara Vann Picot of Como. His wife, the former Rosalind Darden of Newsoms, died 
in January, 1952. His grandfather came to this country with Marquis de la 
Fayette during the Revolution, eventually settling near Plymouth, N.C.  Capt. 
Picot, father of the deceased, was long associated with Buckhorn Academy, an 
exclusive private school for boys, which during its heyday attracted students 
from a wide area in North Carolina and Virginia.

   To his relatives and his host of friends Mr. Picot was affectionately known 
as “Bro’Gay.”  To hundreds of sportsmen throughout several states he was “Judge 
Picot of Camp P.D.,” he being the last remaining charter member of the hunt club 
which had its origin in 1887.

   Surviving are five daughters, Misses Antoinette Vann Picot, Hannah Barham 
Picot, Marietta Blount Picot and Marion Barham Picot, all of Como, and Mrs. 
Vernon Tucker (the former Rebie Picot) of Suffolk; three sons, Harvey Baylis 
Picot of Franklin, Hugh Baird Picot of Como, and Guy Carleton Picot, Jr., of 
Richmond; five grandchildren; and a brother, Maury W. Picot of Suffolk. Two 
sons, Scarborough and Hallette, preceded their father to the grave several years 
ago.

   Funeral services were conducted at Buckhorn Baptist Church on Tuesday 
afternoon at 2 o’clock by Rev. E. Norfleet Gardner of Laurinburg, N.C. , Rev. 
R.D. Stephenson of Portsmouth, Rev. L.E. Bailey, retired, of Powellsville, N.C., 
and Rev. J.E. Lanier, retired of Rocky Mount, N.C.  Burial was in the church 
cemetery.

   Honorary pallbearers were members of Camp P.D.  Active pallbearers were Jack 
Cassada, Picot Cassada and William Picot, all of Norfolk, Rufus Darden and Davis 
B. Spiers of Como, Edward Parker of Goldsboro, N.C., Carleton Picot of Suffolk, 
and William Van Savage of Churchland.
