the 38th year of his age.  The deceased leaves a wife, two children a brother, 
Mr. James Floyd, in Lancaster, Va. and a sister, Mrs. Florence Todd, in Talbert 
County, Md., where he was born, and resided until 12 years ago when he came to

He was a carpenter by trade and was favorably known by many of his fellow men.  
He was a consistent member of Berkley Avenue Baptist Church, Norfolk Lodge 
Woodmen of the World and Tidewater Council, No. 30, Jr. O.U.A.M.
The funeral will be conducted from the Berkley Avenue Baptist Church Sunday 
afternoon at 2 o'clock.  Rev. T.C. Skinner, the pastor will officiate, after 
which his remains will be interred in Magnolia Cemetery.
The orders of which he was a member will attend the funeral in a body.

He has fallen asleep; he is resting at last;
The pulse has grown still and the fever is past.
He suffers no longer in heart or in brain, 
And the pain that so racked him shall never come again.

He has fallen asleep;
Oh, darling, 'tis past, 
Thank God, as we weep, 
You are resting at last.
                    BY HIS WIFE
