INDIANNA VIRGINIA JOYNER

   Mrs. Annie Virginia Joyner died at her home in the Franklin community 
July 23, in the 77th year of her life.  Mrs. Joyner was before her marriage, 
Miss Annie Virginia Bracey of this county, and was married 54 years ago to 
Elisha J. Joyner, whose death occurred about two years ago.  Ever since her 
marriage she and her husband had lived at the old Joyner homestead near 
Franklin, Mr. Joyner being a deacon of Union Christian Church for many years, 
both he and his wife being active in the work of that church and all other 
worthwhile enterprises.

   Mrs. Joyner was known and loved in her home and by many neighbors, for her 
quiet, unassuming Christian life, her days being spent in unselfish 
ministration in the home and to all who needed her services.  She is survived 
by five sons, James I., W. Luther*, R.H., J. Raleigh and Edward E. Joyner, and 
by one daughter, Miss Minnie Joyner; four grandchildren, several nieces and 
nephews, and a large family connection in her home community.

   Funeral services were conducted Saturday afternoon at 4 o’clock  by her 
Pastor, Rev. R.E. Brittle, assisted by the Rev. Dr. I.W. Johnson of Suffolk, 
in the presence of a large assemblage of friends.  Songs used by the choir 
included "The Home of the Soul," "The Old Rugged Cross," and a duet "Face to 
Face" sung by Mrs. W.S. Urquhart and Miss Frances Wade of Sedley.  Interment 
was made in Poplar Spring Cemetery, the active pallbearers being: W.E. Rose, 
F.P. Rose, H.L. Vaughan, S.M. Joyner, J.G. Joyner, A.B. Joyner, E.A. Scott
