MR. AND MRS. DANIEL BEATON, JACQUELINE BEATON AND MRS. THOMAS W. DUNLOW* 

HOLD RITES FOR WRECK VICTIMS 
- Four Victims of Automobile Accident Are Buried Here Monday 
INFANT SURVIVES CRASH. 

   Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Lee Beaton, their daughter Jacqueline Beaton, and Mrs. 
Beaton’s sister-in-law, Mrs. Thomas W. Dunlow*, of Franklin were killed last 
Saturday night on the Suffolk-Portsmouth highway when their car was in 
collision with a van driven by Clyde Hooper.  The car was headed towards 
Suffolk and the van was traveling towards Portsmouth when the accident 
occurred near Magnolia in Nansemond County.

   Mr. Beaton was 36, Mrs. Beaton was 34, and their daughter Jacqueline, nine. 
Mrs. Dunlow was 43.  Besides his infant daughter, Mr. Beaton is survived by a 
step-son, Raymond Holland; a sister Mrs. J.R. Babb of Sebrell, and four 
brothers, Edward and Claude Beaton of Norfolk, John Beaton of Franklin and 
Nelson Beaton.

   Surviving Mrs. Beaton besides her daughter are a son by a former marriage, 
Raymond Holland; three sisters, Mrs. Belle Bradshaw of Suffolk; Mrs. Geo. 
Phillip Raiford of Ivor and Mrs. Patsy Briggs of Ocean View; three brothers, 
John Dunlow of Holland, Robert Dunlow of Baltimore and Thomas Dunlow of 
Franklin.

   Mrs. Dunlow is survived by her husband, Thomas Dunlow of Franklin; two 
sons, Thomas Jr. and Jimmy Dunlow; her mother, Mrs. Fannie Carr Williford; 
four sisters, Mrs. Robert Bradshaw of Franklin, Mrs. John Dunlow and Mrs. 
J.T. Darden of Holland and Mrs. Mary W. Lanier of Suffolk.

   Funeral services for the four victims were held in the Franklin Baptist 
Church Monday afternoon at 3 o’clock, hundreds attending the rites from 
throughout this section.  The four caskets were covered with palls of pink 
and white carnations and fern.

   The services were conducted by the Rev. R.D. Stephenson, pastor of the 
church, assisted by the Rev. John P. Batkins of Beaver Dam Baptist Church.

   The eight pallbearers who served for all four caskets were R.C. Branch, 
W.D. Giles, J.L. Eley, Jr., George Wright, P.S. Lowe, W.J. Bradshaw and 
Clyde and Leonidas Cutchin.  The choir of the church sang "Sometimes We’ll 
Understand" and "Rock of Ages."  Hal J. Lyon, church organist, played the 
Adagio movement from Beethoven’s "Moonlight Sonata," and "Ase’s Death" from 
the Grieg "Peer Gynt" suite as the caskets were brought into the church.  As 
the funeral procession left the church he played "Going Home," or the Largo 
movement from Dvorak’s "New World" symphony.  The burial took place in Poplar 
Spring Cemetery.
