XIMENA PERSON CLAUD

   Largely attended funeral services for Mrs. Robert W. Claud were held Sunday 
afternoon at 3:30 at the home in Drewryville.  Rev. A.W. Coates, pastor of the 
local church, assisted by Rev. Cecil Morris, of whose church Mrs. Claud was a 
faithful member, conducted the rites.  There was a large attendance and many 
beautiful floral tributes, the casket being covered with a pall of pink 
rosebuds and white asters.  During the services the choir sang "Sweet Peace, 
the Gift of God's Love" and "How Firm a Foundation."  Active pallbearers were 
Willie Claud, Quincy Murfee, Charlie Cobb, John Claud, Bob Claud and E.C. 
Smith, Jr.  Honorary pallbearers were friends of the family.

   A native of Southampton County, Mrs. Claud was born in 1868 in the Hebron 
community.  She was the daughter of the late Peter and Mrs. Ada Person.  In 
1891 she was married to Robert W. Claud, by whom she is survived with three 
daughters, Mrs. Emma Mae Simmons and Miss Robbie Claud of Drewryville and Mrs. 
E.K. Price of Lambertville, N.J.; the following sisters, Mrs. W.S. DeLoatche 
and Miss Emma Person of Branchville, Mrs. J.F. Moore of Kenova, W. Va., and 
three grandchildren, Wallace Rob and Maurice Simmons of Drewryville and Anne 
Price of Lambertville, N.J.

   Mrs. Claud was a devoted mother and a woman of rare Christian character and 
integrity.  Simplicity and sincerity were the chief attributes which governed 
her life and her passing will be mourned by all who were privileged to know 
her.
