LELIA JACKSON ARMSTRONG CUTCHINS

  Mrs. Lelia Armstrong Cutchins, widow of the late Cornelius A. Cutchins of 
this town, died at her home in North High Street, Franklin, Wednesday morning, 
July 30, after an illness of about six weeks.  Mrs. Cutchins was an estimable 
woman numbering many friends in the town and community, and was known and 
loved by her neighbors as an exemplary Christian character possessing many 
admirable traits which had greatly endeared her to the people of this town 
during her residence of 25 years here.

   Mrs. Cutchins was Miss Lelia Armstrong of Culpeper, Va., member of a 
prominent family of that town, and in 1885 married Cornelius A. Cutchins of 
Nansemond County, who died here in 1923.  They moved from Nansemond County to 
Franklin in 1905, Mr. Cutchins being a successful merchant here for many 
years.  She is survived by two sons, Clifford A. Cutchins, Jr., and Samuel B. 
Cutchins; by two daughters, Misses Zula and Fannie Cutchins; by three 
grandchildren, Clifford, Sarah Keith and Katherine Cutchins, and by two 
sisters, Mrs. Pierre Thomas and Miss Gertrude Armstrong of Culpeper.

   She was a useful and consistent member of the Franklin Baptist Church and 
active in the work of the Woman’s Missionary Society and other auxiliary 
organizations of the church.  Funeral services from the residence yesterday 
afternoon at 4 o’clock were conducted by her Pastor, Rev. R.D. Stephenson, 
assisted by Rev. J.L. McCutcheon of Clarendon, a former pastor of the Franklin 
Baptist Church and an intimate friend of the family.  Interment followed in
