CATHERINE SANDERSON CHAVIS

Death, Funeral and Burial of Catherine Chavis.

Correspondence of The Robesonian

            Pates, March 22 – Catherine Chavis, died at her home near Pates, N. 
C., March 14.  She had been confined to her bed for quite a while, in fact she 
had been unable to be out for about eight months.   She had a complicated 
trouble.  Heart failure is thought to be her last trouble.

            Mrs. Catherine Chavis, better known by the name of “Kate”, was the 
oldest daughter of the late Thomas Sanderson of the same section.  Mrs. Chavis 
was 69 years, 8 months and 12 days old at her death.

            The funeral was conducted by Rev. L. W. Jacobs, assisted by Rev. C. 
E. Locklear, at the Harpers Ferry Baptist church, of which the deceased had 
been a consistent member for 39 years.

            Mrs. Chavis formerly belonged to the Methodist church at New Hope.  
She was a Christian of the finest type of character.  “Truth” decency and right 
living” was her motto.  She loved her church and Sunday school and never seemed 
to tire while she was serving them.  She always held her pastor in high esteem.

            She leaves a husband and a daughter, Mrs. Robert Jacobs, and a host 
of relatives and friends to mourn.  Her testimony and life reveal to them the 
bright reward the Father has for those who serve him, and Mrs. Chavis gave 
service which brings reward.  She will be greatly missed by her home and 
community.

            She was interred at Harpers Ferry cemetery on March 15.  There was 
a vast throng of people to attend the funeral and burying, which was simple and 
very impressive.

            May her life have its effect in the community, in the way of love, 
decency and truth.  Our sympathy is hereby extended to the bereaved family.
