SARAH CORNELIA RAWLS DAUGHTREY

   Mrs. Sarah Cornelia Daughtrey died Wednesday night, January 10, at 11* 
o’clock at the home of her son, Braxton Daughtrey, in North High Street, in 
her seventy-first year.  She was a native of Nansemond county, the daughter of 
the late Randolph and Christine Rawls, and had been a faithful, consistent and 
valued member of Holy Neck Christian Church since early childhood.

   She was married on March 6, 1889, to Allen Daughtrey, an honored citizen of 
Nansemond and later of this town, who died November 20, 1919.  She is survived 
by one son, Braxton R. Daughtrey, and by five step-children, all of whom loved 
her and regarded her even as their own mother; Mrs. Eva L. Daughtrey and Mrs. 
J.D. Johnson of Isle of Wight, Miss Lydia Daughtrey, W.A. Daughtrey and J.O.H. 
Daughtrey of Franklin; by three brothers, Eugene Rawls of Franklin, D.P. Rawls 
of Portsmouth and B.B. Rawls of Clearwater, Fla., and by one sister, Mrs. Mary 
E. Bell of Blackstone, Va., besides many nieces and nephews and a wide circle 
of relatives and friends.

   She had lived the ideal Christian life, true in all of its relations to her 
Master whom she served the church she loved and to the members of the home 
circle, to neighbors and friends.  The immediate cause of her death was heart 
trouble from which she had suffered for some time, bearing her afflictions 
with resignation and without complaint.

   The funeral services will be conducted from her late residence this 
(Friday) morning at 11:30 o’clock by Dr. C.H. Rowland of the Franklin 
Christian Church, assisted by Rev. W.M. Jay, pastor of the Holy Neck Christian 
Church, and interment will follow in Poplar Spring Cemetery here.  The 
pallbearers will be her sons and grandsons, B.R. W.A. and J.O.H. Daughtrey; 
Edward D. Daughtrey, R.A. Johnson, C.N. Johnson and A.B. Daughtrey and E.V. 
Stephenson.
