CHERRY T. PEETE 

   Miss Cherry Peete, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Mark Peete of 
Southampton County, died Monday morning, June 6, at the home of her nephew, 
J.G. Claud, in Drewryville, with whom she had made her home for 39 years. 
She was 86 years old and was a lifelong member of Hebron Baptist church, 
having in her earlier life been a very active member.  She was a beautiful 
type of Christian character, always finding in everyone the good.  She was 
a second mother to her great nieces and nephews with whom she lived, and 
was a kind and loving neighbor and friend.  Funeral services were held at 
the home Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock, the Rev. A.W. Coates, pastor of 
her church officiating.  Mrs. H.M. Purviance sang sweetly, "It Is Well with 
My Soul," this being a request of the family.  Her active body bearers were 
her great nephews and nephews-in-law: Willie Claud of Drewryville, Dr. Harry 
Claud of Washington, Joe Claud of Norfolk, R.E. Ball of Raleigh, Jennings 
Connelly of Hopewell and George A. Powell of Boykins.  The honorary bearers 
were friends of the family.  She was buried in Drewryville Cemetery, floral 
designs were numerous and beautiful, thereby showing the esteem in which she 
was held.  "Safe in the Arms of Jesus" was sung at the grave.
