TRECY JANE HOLLAND CUTCHINS

SOUTH QUAY, VA. - The announcement of the death of Mrs. Trecy Cutchins, 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.
