JAMES ARTHUR KITCHEN

   James Arthur Kitchen, 55, a native of Berlin, Southampton County, died in 
a Charlottesville hospital on Tuesday morning, March 13, after an illness of 
several months.  He was the son of the late James T. and Rebecca Stephenson 
Kitchen, and a member of Millfield Baptist Church, the Ivor Masonic Lodge, and 
the Woodmen of the World. Surviving him are two brothers, Herbert L. Kitchen 
of Sedley and Theodore W. Kitchen of Miami, Fla.

   Prior to his recent illness he lived in Washington, D.C., where he was 
employed by an automobile sales corporation.

   In quest of a healthful climate he had traveled extensively; but he always, 
even when he was far from home, showed great devotion and loyalty to his 
family, friends, and his church.

   Funeral services were conducted at Millfield Baptist Church on Friday, 
March 16, at 2:30 o'clock by Rev. R.D. Stephenson of Franklin, assisted by 
Rev. C.E. Gerringer of Scottsburg.  The choir sang "The Old Rugged Cross" and 
"Have Thine Own Way, Lord;" and Joel C. Holland rendered a solo, "In the 
Garden."

   Active pallbearers were R.C. Cornwell, W.H. Felton, Elmo Hines, Harvey W. 
Stephenson and S.B. Stephenson.  The deacons of Millfield served as honorary 
pallbearers.  The Masonic Lodge of Ivor conducted burial rites at the grave 
in the family cemetery near Berlin.
