JULIA W. GRIFFIN

   Miss Julia W. Griffin, one of Franklin’s most beloved women, died at St. 
Christopher’s Hospital, Norfolk, Thursday, November 9, after an illness of 
several months.  She was in her sixty-third year, a native of this county and 
a member of an old Southampton family.  She had lived a singularly useful and 
unselfish life and no resident of our town possessed a wider circle of friends 
than she.  She was a charter member of the Franklin Baptist Church and taught 
a Sunday school class for a number of years.  She taught for nearly forty 
years both in private and public schools of the town and county, and many of 
our prominent citizens received instruction from her.

   She is survived by a brother, W. Scott Griffin of Galveston, Texas, two 
nephews, W. Sully Griffin of Portsmouth and Hunter Griffin of Norfolk; two 
nieces, Mrs. A.A. Riddick of Smithfield, Va., and Mrs. Kenneth A. Bain of 
Portsmouth.

   The body was brought to our town Saturday morning and the funeral services 
were held from the Franklin Baptist Church by Rev. J.L. McCutcheon.  The 
interment was made in the family burial plot at "Fairview" and the pallbearers 
were: active, J.J. Bristow, W.H. Arthur, E.A. deBordenave, R.A. Pretlow, Joe 
Bynum Gay, D.O. Norfleet, D.C. Gillette and C.J. Edwards; honorary, L.R. 
Edwards, J.T. Butler, J.L. Camp, J.P. Gay, M.H. Moore, D.A. Holland, J.D. 
Abbitt, C.C. Vaughan, Sr., A.L. Gardner, I.E. Howell, T.O. Barrett, J.C. 
Parker, P.D. Camp and E.S. Eley.
