WILLIAM ALLEN DAUGHTREY

   William Allen Daughtrey, 67, a well-known Suffolk insurance man, died 
unexpectedly at 8 o’clock Sunday morning, February 26, at Norfolk General 
Hospital.  He was a son of the late Allen Daughtrey and Elizabeth Norfleet 
Daughtrey.

   A native of Nansemond County, Mr. Daughtrey had wide family connections 
throughout this area.  Coming to Franklin at the age of 21, he was employed 
by the Camp Manufacturing Company and also operated a grocery business for 
several years.  After moving to Suffolk in the early 1930’s, he worked first 
for the People’s Life Insurance Company, and for the past 10 years he had been 
connected with Universal Life.  In addition, he worked for some time as 
bookkeeper for the Brewer Jewelry Company there.

   Mr. Daughtrey was prominent in the activities of the Suffolk Christian 
Church, being chairman of its board of deacons and a member of the Baraca 
Sunday school class.  Keenly interested in the church, he spent most of his 
Sundays for several years visiting sick members of the congregation.

   He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Amo Eure Daughtrey; two daughters, Mrs. 
Charles Bassham and Mrs. Nancy D. Penner of Norfolk; a sister, Miss Lydia 
Daughtrey of Franklin; two brothers, J.O.H. Daughtrey and Braxton R. 
Daughtrey, of Franklin; three grandchildren, Gerald Allen and Richard Hardin 
Bassham and Nancy Carole Bassham of Norfolk; and a step-grandson, Lewis Deane 
Bassham.

   Funeral services for Mr. Daughtrey were conducted at 2:30 o’clock Tuesday 
afternoon at the Suffolk Christian Church by the pastor, Rev. Duane N. Vore. 
Burial was in the family plot in Poplar Spring Cemetery.  The pall was of 
Easter lilies, white carnations, hyacinths and red roses.  Pallbearers were 
Herbert West, Henry C. Murden, R.L. Bailey, H.H. Young, J.L. Eley, H.E. Byrd, 
James L. Byrd and J.H. Crocker.  Honorary pallbearers were deacons of Suffolk 
Christian Church and members of the board of finance of the church.
