HAZEL ELIZABETH BEALE HARCUM

   Funeral services for Mrs. Hazel Beale Harcum, wife of Jesse Billy Harcum, 
were conducted last Saturday afternoon from the funeral home of W.J.M. Holland 
and Sons, with her pastor, Rev. Floyd P. Davis of Courtland Baptist Church 
officiating, assisted by Rev. Kenneth E. Burke of Norfolk.  During the 
services Mrs. C.W. Parker, Terry Gilbert, Floyd Davis and C.W. Richardson, 
accompanied on the organ by J. Edgar Weede, sang "Sometime We'll Understand" 
and "Asleep in Jesus."

   Mrs. Harcum was a lovable Christian woman, her life being an inspiration to 
all who knew her, for to know her was to love her.  Although an invalid for 
ten years she bore her suffering as a test of strength, of prayer and of trust 
and with a willingness to take her lot with humble heart and question not. 
Besides her husband she is survived by her father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. 
S.R. Beale of Courtland; one brother, Floyd Beale, three sisters, Mrs. Eunice 
Bradshaw, Mrs. Annie Cooper of Franklin, Mrs. Reese Whitfield of Norfolk; four 
nieces and three nephews.

   Burial was made in Courtland Cemetery.  There was a large attendance and 
many beautiful flowers, the casket being covered with a pall of lilies and 
pink rose buds.  Pallbearers were: Roger Drake, Hubert Beale, Reese Whitfield, 
Otto Harcum, Ezra Gray, Linwood Edwards, Herbert Beale and Paul Rose.
