CHERE ELIZABETH CARR DAUGHTREY

   Mrs. Chere Elizabeth Daughtry*, widow of the late W. Thomas Daughtry of 
Isle of Wight County, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Chas. E. Johnson, 
in South Norfolk May 26, in the 84th year of her life.  She made her home with 
her daughter, Mrs. Bessie D. Rose of the Beaver Dam community, and was 
visiting her daughter in South Norfolk when the end came suddenly.  She was 
the daughter of the late John B. and Mrs. Mary Carr, and is survived by six 
children: Geo. W. Daughtry of Berkley, Mrs. J. Lam Harcum and Mrs. Bessie D. 
Rose of Franklin, Herbert E. Daughtry of Norfolk, Mrs. Chas. E. Johnson of 
South Norfolk, and W. Thomas Daughtry of Franklin.  Another son, the Rev. W. 
Bonnie Daughtry, died some years ago.  There are also 22 grandchildren and six 
great-grandchildren.

   Mrs. Daughtry was an exemplary Christian woman, a loving and self-
sacrificing mother and a friendly and generous neighbor to her entire 
community.  She had been a member of Beaver Dam Baptist Church since girlhood, 
and was one of its oldest members, her father being one of the charter members 
of the church.  She was a teacher in the Beaver Dam Sunday school years ago 
when the Old Blue-Back Speller was used in the Sunday school for instruction 
of the children as well as the lessons taught from the Bible, and was a 
charter member of the Woman’s Missionary Society of her church.

   Funeral services were conducted from the church by her Pastor, Rev. W.B. 
Denson, assisted by Rev. Beecher Rhodes of Berkley Avenue Baptist Church, 
Norfolk, and by Rev. Clyde S. Sawyer of the South Norfolk Baptist Church.  The 
casket was covered with a green fern pall, and there were many floral tributes 
and a large concourse of sorrowing friends, not only from the neighborhood but 
many from near-by towns.  Interment was made in the churchyard cemetery.
