HENRY WARD KELLAM 

HENRY W. KELLAM DIES SUDDENLY IN BERKLEY 

  Henry W. Kellam, 47 years old, died very suddenly at the home of his mother, 
Mrs. Mary Douglas, in Payne Street, Friday night between 11 and 12 o’clock as 
the result of a stroke of paralysis sustained about five weeks ago.  He had 
considerably improved from the attack and was thought to have been on the road 
to recovery, when he was taken suddenly ill and passed away. 

  The deceased had been superintendent of the logging department of the Camp 
Manufacturing Company at Franklin, Va., seven years, and was looked upon as a 
very important and able man by the company. 

  Prior to going to Franklin, he resided in Berkley with his family a great 
many years, he being well-known and highly esteemed here.  His wife died 
several years ago and they are survived by six children, four sons and two 
daughters, all of Franklin; a mother and a sister, Miss Bessie Douglas, the 
latter in Payne Street. 

  The deceased was an active member of High Street Methodist Church, Franklin, 
and held membership in the Masons, Red Men, Royal Arcanum and Odd Fellows. 

  The remains will be forwarded to Franklin this morning over the Seaboard Air 
Line Railroad for funeral and interment at that place, which will take place 
this afternoon at 4 o’clock, with Rev. J.T. Green, pastor of his church, 
officiating. 

  The various secret orders of which he was a member will take part in the 
burial services.
