Norfolk Ledger Dispatch February 7, 1927

John A. McCloud, aged 72 years and one of the pioneer citizens of South Norfolk, 
died Saturday night at 11:20 o'clock at the home of his son, John A. McCloud, 
Jr., 66 East Liberty Street, South Norfolk, after an illness of several weeks. 
He was one of the best known men in Norfolk County and had taken an active part 
in all county activities for many years. He had been active in Republican party 
councils. He conducted a grocery and wholesale and retail meat business. He 
served as postmaster of South Norfolk a score of years ago.
He was a son of the late John A. McCloud, Sr., and Mrs. Bernetta Taylor McCloud, 
also residents of South Norfolk. Born in Portsmouth, he spent practically all 
his life in South Norfolk. He represented the Second district in the Republican 
National Convention several times. He retired from business in South Norfolk 
about ten years ago and bought a farm on Powell's Point, N.C., where he spent 
his declining days. He came to the city about six weeks ago, when he became ill 
and spent the remaining days with his son.
Mr. McCloud is survived by seven sons. They are H.W. McCloud, Boston; J.A. 
McCloud, South Norfolk; F.R. McCloud, Aydlette, N.C.; E.L. and Alonzo McCloud, 
both in the United States Navy; C.T. and Thomas McCloud, Norfolk and one 
daughter, Miss Helen V. McCloud, Norfolk; one brother, Jesse McCloud, Deep Creek 
and one sister, Mrs. Kate Lattimer, Portlock.
Mr. McCloud had been married three times, his last wife having died a few years 
ago.
He was a charter member of Oakdale Lodge, No. 70, I.O.O.F. and for many years 
was one of the most active members of the Christian denomination of this section 
and held his membership in the First Christian Church of Berkley.
The body was taken to the funeral home of J.R. Williams, 13 Chesapeake Avenue, 
South Norfolk where funeral services will be conducted this afternoon at 4 
o'clock by Rev. O.D. Poythress, pastor of South Norfolk Christian Church. Burial 
will be in Magnolia Cemetery.
