THE TIDEWATER NEWS – 01-26-1951, P. 12
LIZZIE REBECCA WEEDE

   Funeral services for Miss Lizzie Rebecca Weede, 75, retired teacher, were 
held from the residence in Second Avenue on Wednesday afternoon at 3 o’clock, 
Rev. Elmer N. Hassell, pastor of High Street Methodist Church, officiated, 
assisted by Rev. J.S. Maxey of Franklin and Rev. Roscoe Jones, D.D., of Stony 
Creek, a former pastor.

   “Miss Lizzie,” as she was known to a host of friends in Franklin, was born in 
Murfreesboro, N.C., on October 28, 1875, the daughter of the late Joseph T. and 
Celia Jackson Weede. She was educated at the Wesleyan Female Institute in 
Murfreesboro, graduating in 1891. From then until her retirement in 1927 she 
taught in the public schools of Isle of Wight and Southampton counties, most of 
her teaching career being spent in Franklin, where she was a member of the 
grammar school faculty for more than 20 years. The thoroughness of her teaching 
methods and the kindness of her disposition made her respected and beloved by 
all who came under her instruction. She was a member of High Street Methodist 
Church.

   Taken sick five years ago “Miss Lizzie” never completely regained her health. 
On Sunday afternoon, January 14, she suffered the cerebral hemorrhage which 
resulted in her death on Monday afternoon, January 22, about 5:30 o’clock in 
Raiford Memorial Hospital.

   Surviving her are a sister, Miss Pattie D. Weede of Franklin; four brothers, 
Charlie M. Weede of Milwaukee, Wis., and Jesse A., J. Edgar, and Willie M. Weede 
of Franklin; two nephews, Jesse A. Weede, Jr. of Franklin and Davis Weede of 
Atlanta, Ga.; and three great-nieces.

   The services were attended by a large number of friends of the deceased. Mr. 
Seith Atkinson and Mrs. Rosalie Britt sang “Gathering Home.” Burial was in the 
family plot in Poplar Spring Cemetery, the pallbearers being Frank Story 
Cutchin, Edward F. Gilliam, Thomas C. Holland, Jr., Bailey Maddrey, H.S. 
Rawlings, G.G. Smith, G. Carl Steinhardt and Harry Steinhardt. The casket was 
covered with a pall of lilies and pink and white carnations.
