TRECY JANE HOLLAND CUTCHIN 

  SOUTH QUAY, VA. - The announcement of the death of Mrs. Trecy Cutchins [sic; 
Cutchin], widow of the late John A. Cutchins, in your last issue was received 
with universal regret.  Mrs. Cutchins was retiring in her nature, and this 
coupled with delicate health caused her to be seldom seen on public occasions, 
and yet she was held in high esteem by a large circle of friends.  Is life 
worth living finds an easy solution in her pilgrimage of eighty-two years on 
earth.  To aid her husband, and rear her children for positions of usefulness 
in life, was to her a solemn duty, but she did not stop here; to be a neighbor 
and help the helpless were characteristics in her life that will be 
remembered.  Her life was Christian by professions and practice. 

   Her home was genuinely hospitable, and her large circle of relatives and 
friends will not forget her kindness.  She was for about sixty years a member 
of the Beaver Dam Baptist Church, where her name will be held in sweet 
remembrance.  Her memory of social and religious events rendered her an 
interesting conversationalist, and keeping in the current of life she never 
grew old. 

   For the past month she had been a great sufferer, but her physicians were 
constantly at her side to do for her relief, until the evening of the 3rd of 
October, like an infant falling asleep she passed to rest.  Her funeral 
largely attended took place on the evening of the 4th inst., with services 
by her pastor, Rev. W.G. Clarke aided by Rev. J.M. Jones, and then we laid her 
to rest in the old homestead cemetery, near Elwood, Virginia. 

   Her grandsons viz. were pallbearers: Robert Rawls, Randolph Rawls, Sol 
Rawls, Jack Cutchins, John A. Rawls, J.P. Jones, J.R.L. Johnson and Dr. C.J. 
Bradshaw, Canary Dr. Thomas H. Barnes and Messrs. Robert R. Daughtry, W.C. 
Peele, W.H. Jenkins, John D. Robertson and A. Edwards. 

   She leaves six children, Hon. Joel Cutchins, of Roanoke, Mr. C.A. Cutchins 
of Franklin, Col. Sol Cutchins of Richmond and J.G. Cutchins of Nansemond and 
two daughters, Mrs. Robt. Rawls and Mrs. John Cutchins.  Her grandchildren, 
great grandchildren and foster children number forty-six.

Find a Grave lists "Treacy," her husband (1818 - 1886) & their son Jno. Oliver 
   in a CUTCHIN family cemetery, described as being "located at the end of 
   Barnes Road just over the railroad tracks to the left."

The Southampton County Historical Society {SCHS} Cemetery Project lists

Those coordinates point to a plot in a field north of the Norfolk Southern 
   tracks, about a quarter mile west of where Barnes Rd. (Rt. 651) crosses 
   them, and about half a mile east of Elwood & 2 miles west of Holland. 
   Brentwood Rd. (Rt. 655) ends at Barnes Rd., just south of the crossing. 
   Barnes Rd. (Rt. 651) ends at Elwood Rd. (Rt. 613), about a quarter mile 
   south of Elwood. 

"The Suffolk Herald" and "The Suffolk News" combined in 1927 to publish
