his Pastor, Rev. R.E. Vellins, assisted by Rev. R.H. Corbitt.  The Black Creek 
choir sang, "Will There Be Any Stars in My Crown?" "Safe in the Arms of Jesus" 
and "Abide With Me."  There were many beautiful floral present.

   He is survived by his father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. J.S.* Drewry, and

There is a DREWRY family cemetery west of Sedley, near the intersection of 
   Bethel Rd. (Rt. 643) & Governor Darden Rd. (Rt. 646), but there is nothing 
   to suggest that this is the same family.
