JOSEPH GILLETTE CLAUD 

   Joseph Gillette Claud, 87, died at two o'clock Monday morning at his home 
near Drewryville.  He was a prominent farmer of the Drewryville community.

   The son of Jesse Cornelius and Madeline Peete Claud, he was born in this 
county November 14, 1861.  Although he had been in failing health for some 
years, he remained active until very recently, when he became confined to 
his bed.  He was known throughout southeastern Virginia for his public 
spiritedness.

   He was twice married, his first wife being Laura Copes Claud, who died 
in 1935.  His second wife, Mrs. Lucy M. Claud, survives him.

   Other survivors are two sons, Dr. Harry Lee Claud of Washington, D.C., and 
W.C. Claud of Drewryville; three daughters, Mrs. George A. Powell of Boykins, 
Mrs. C. Jennings Connelly of Hopewell, and Mrs. R.E. Ball of Raleigh, N.C.; 
one step-daughter, Inez Garlick of Drewryville; a brother, W.T. Claud of 
Portsmouth; a sister, Mrs. Jessie Turner of Washington, D.C.; and eleven 
grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.

   Funeral services were conducted at the residence on Tuesday afternoon at 
three o'clock by Rev. H.B. Jennings, assisted by Rev. W.L. Sturtevant of 
Boykins and Rev. Mr. Rose of Emporia.  The choir of the Hebron Baptist Church 
sang "It Is Well with My Soul" and "Jesus Savior Pilot Me."  Mrs. H.M. 
Purviance of Boykins sang "At Eventide."  The casket was covered with a pall 
of calla lilies and red roses.

   Active pallbearers were E.Q. Murfee, P.R. Ricks, C.D. Cobb, Sr., A.P. Pope, 
F.E. Pope, J.T. Claud, R.D. Claud and E.M. Trice.  Honorary pallbearers were 
the five senior deacons of the Hebron Baptist Church and friends of the 
family.  Burial was in the Drewryville cemetery.
