JUNIUS WILLARD DARDEN

 DEATH OF J.W. DARDEN

   Junius Willard Darden, one of Franklin’s most highly esteemed citizens, 
died in Sarah Leigh Hospital, Norfolk, Tuesday, September 9, after a severe 
illness of several weeks from an acute liver trouble.  He was in his thirty-
seventh year, was a native of Nansemond County, but had been a resident of 
Franklin for a number of years, and at the time of his death was engaged in 
the livery business here.  He was a good citizen and an uptight and 
conscientious young man, living the quiet and useful life of a faithful 
Christian, and was admired and respected by everyone in our town and 
community.  We have rarely seen a larger gathering of people than that which 
filled the Baptist church Wednesday afternoon to pay the last tribute of 
respect to his memory.  The services were conducted by his pastor, Rev. J.L. 
McCutcheon, assisted by Rev. Jesse McCarter, Mr. McCutcheon making an 
unusually tender and appropriate talk on the life of the deceased.  Large 
delegations from the Odd Fellows and Woodmen attended the funeral.  The 
pallbearers were Dr. Geo. W. Hayes, W.H. Lankford, Dr. Jno. Mills Powell, 
G.E. Johnson, J.J. Bristow, E.L. Beale, R.E.L. Watkins, Geo O. Watkins.

   The deceased is survived by his widow, who was Miss Willie Lenora Darden, 
the daughter of Robert Darden of this community, and by one son, Lloyd A. 
Darden; his mother, Mrs. Margaret Jane Darden of Nansemond County, and the 
following sisters and brothers; J.W.H. Darden of Branchville, Mrs. T.A. Eure 
of Franklin, Mrs. R.L. Harper and Mrs. J.E. Coggin of Raleigh, W.M. Darden of 
Franklin, Dr. St. C. Darden of Branchville, and Miss Mabel Darden of Raleigh.  
The News extends its heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved family in their great 
sorrow.
