   Julian Joseph Dickens, 51, son of the late Joseph Reid and Ellen Bryant 
Dickens of Southampton County, died at his home in Williamsburg on Sunday, 
August 10.

   He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Elizabeth Brooks Dickens, and a daughter, 
Ellen Reid Dickens, of Williamsburg, and two sisters, Misses Bessie and Helen

Revs. J.T. Cassell and R.H. Marks of Capron.  Members of the Capron choir sang 
"Close To Thee;" and Joel Holland of Murfreesboro sang "Sunrise Tomorrow." 
Interment was made in the family plot in the Capron cemetery, where the 
services were concluded by the reading of the poem, "Crossing The Bar," by 
Rev. R.H. Marks. 

   Active pallbearers were H.F. Babb, C.W. Barnes, D.L. Brooks, J.B. Brooks,
