THE TIDEWATER NEWS - 05-16-1941, P. 8
FANNIE BELL BISHOP

   Mrs. Fannie Bell Bishop, 78, one of the oldest and best citizens of the 
Handsom community, died early Friday morning, May 9, after a long illness. She 
had spent 42 years in the same home to which she came as the bride of John F. 
Bishop. Besides her husband she is survived by one son, Wayland Jeter Bishop, 
a number of nieces and nephews and a large family connection in Northampton 
and Southampton counties.

   She was a native of Northampton County, N.C., and spent her early life 
there, being the daughter of the late Martha and Nathaniel T. Maddrey.

   Mrs. Bishop enjoyed a wide circle of friends and several remarked at the 
last rites that perhaps she had given away to friends and the poor of both 
races more meals than any one for miles around, many of these came to pay 
their last tribute of respect to "Miss Fannie."

   Funeral services were conducted at the home Sunday afternoon by Rev. F.L. 
Baker of Newsoms Circuit, assisted by Rev. R.D. Stephenson of Franklin, Mrs. 
Purviance sang "At Eventide" at the home. The hymns, "Asleep In Jesus" 
and "Abide with Me" were sung at the graveside in Beechwood Cemetery, Boykins.

   The casket was covered with a pall of Madonna and valley lilies, there 
being many other beautiful floral designs. Pallbearers were: Jarvis Maddrey, 
Charlie Kee Maddrey, L. Bailey Madrey, Macon Woodard, Roland Madrey, K.R. 
Maddrey, Loveless Brand and Kenneth Maddrey.
