            DEATHS 

DREWRY. - Died, on January 4, 1915, at 9:30 o'clock at the home of his sister, 
  Mrs. F.H. Frost, ROBERT H. DREWRY, son of the late Virginia G. Darden and 
E.F. Drewry, of Southampton County, Va.  He was born August the 18th, 1879 in 
Southampton County.  He was in Salt Lake City when he was taken sick with 
sarcoma of the throat, and went to Baltimore for radium treatment.  On January 
the 4th, after weeks of intense suffering the end came.  It was a long and 
tedious illness, but cheerfully, uncomplainingly he bore his suffering, which 
was alleviated as much as possible by the best medical skill of Baltimore and 
Richmond.  He is survived by his four brothers and three sisters, who live in 
this city - Arthur W., Samuel T., Jesse F. and J. Raymond, Mrs. F.H. Frost, 
Mrs. F.E. West and Mrs. W.A. Wallace. 

  He was interred in Riverview Cemetery.
