The deceased was a faithful member of the above named church for ten years, 
always at his post of duty until sickness overtook him about ten months ago.

During the funeral services a solo was rendered, “Waiting For Me,” by Miss 
Rotelia Perkins and a wonderful sermon by the pastor, Rev. Henderson.

During his illness he bore each pain patiently, never complained yet he would 
say “the Lord Knows best.” The floral designs were numerous and beautiful.

made his home for 24 years. And during these twenty-four years he had gained 
many loyal friends. He was buried in a vault on the family plot in Calvary 
Cemetery with honors from the Fishermen, Odd Fellows, Greater Norfolk Lodge of 
Elks, and all the rites of a Masonic.

He leaves to mourn their loss, a wife, father,sister,four brothers and two
