THADEUS* MICAJAH BARKLEY

DEATH OF THADDEUS M. BARKLEY

   Thadeus Micajah Barkley, aged seventy-one years, died Wednesday, March 
26th, at the home of his son, E.M. Barkley, near Newsoms.  His remains were 
laid to rest in Beechwood Cemetery, Boykins, Thursday afternoon, the funeral 
services being conducted by his pastor, Rev. L.F. Paulette, of the Newsoms 
Baptist Church. 

   Mr. Barkley had been in feeble health for some time, his death resulting 
more from the infirmities of old age than from illness or disease.  He was a 
consistent member of the Baptist church and for the past two years had held 
his membership at Newsoms.  The most of his earlier life was spent in this 
immediate neighborhood, where he was known as a man of honest convictions, 
upright conduct and strong Christian character.  He is survived by his widow, 
Mrs. Virginia Barkley, and eight sons, Joseph W. of Hingham, Mass.; Brown L. 
and Harvey K. of Portsmouth; Robert L. of Raleigh, N.C.; Edwin M. and Overby 
H. of Newsoms; Cullen M. of New Orleans, La.; and Benjamin C. of Portsmouth. 

   The pallbearers were J.R. Bryant, R.W. Ferguson, W.D. Barnes, W.W. White, 
W. M. Cutchins, D.B. Rountree, B.F. Bryant and H.T. Miles.  The grave was 
covered with beautiful floral designs.
