ALBERT MOORE APPLEWHITE

ALBERT M. APPLEWHITE

   Albert M. Applewhite died Thursday, November 11, at the home of his 
daughter, Mrs. L.M. Vaughan, after long suffering from a stroke of paralysis 
which he sustained several years ago.  He was eighty-two years of age and was 
fortunate in enjoying good health until about a year before his death when he 
became almost helpless and remained so until the end. 

   He was the son of Benjamin and Mary Applewhite and was a true and sincere 
citizen of Southampton county all of his life, serving his country in the very 
best way he could and at all times.  He joined Applewhite's M.E. church early 
in life and was a consistent member there until in his latter days, he moved 
his membership to Vincent's Grove Church.  He married Laura Saunders in 1870, 
who preceded him to the grave nine years ago. 

   The deceased is survived by three daughters, Mrs. L.M. Vaughan, Mrs. C.W. 
Dickens, Mrs. Luther Whitehead; two sons, B.R. and A.E. Applewhite, and many 
relatives and friends. 

   The funeral services were conducted by Rev. W.H. Riddick Saturday 
afternoon, November 13, at 3 o'clock and interment was made in the family 
burying ground near Courtland. 

   The pallbearers were; E.L. Marks, H.C. Bryant, Frank Hasty, A.B. Barnes, 
Lonnie Williford and John Thompson.
