LLOYD CLARENCE PULLEY

PROMINENT CITIZEN IS LOST TO IVOR IN DEATH OF L.C. PULLEY

   Lloyd C. Pulley, long a prominent citizen of Ivor, died at his home there 
early Sunday morning from a heart attack.  Although he had been in failing 
health for some time, and had sustained an attack at the Ivor post office 
about two weeks ago, his sudden death was unexpected.  Mr. Pulley was 58.  The 
son of the late Frank P. Pulley and Cora Stephenson Pulley, he was a native of 
Southampton County.  Receiving training at Windsor Academy, a noted school of 
its time, he later took a business course and early in life assumed the duties 
and obligations of citizenship.

   Postmaster of Ivor at the time of his death, Mr. Pulley had been mayor of 
Ivor for more than 25 years, serving in that capacity up until his appointment 
to the post office, which took effect March 18, 1936.  He had also served on 
the Equalization Board of the county and on the Southampton County Democratic 
Executive Committee.  Mr. Pulley was a member of the Masonic and Woodmen 
fraternal orders, having been a District Deputy Grand Master in the former 
order.

   Affiliating at an early age with the Millfield Baptist Church, he later 
transferred membership to the Ivor Baptist Church when that congregation 
erected a building.  He had been superintendent of the Ivor Baptist Sunday 
school and teacher of its Men's Bible Class.  He was a deacon of the church 
at the time of his death.

   Besides his wife, Mrs. Rose Bradshaw Pulley, he is survived by the 
following children; five daughters - Mrs. J.R. Broocke of Boykins, Mrs. Ashby 
Brantley of Ivor, and Misses Tiny, Anna Belle and Carolyn Pulley of Ivor; six 
sons - Lloyd C., Jr. of Gloucester, Bradshaw Pulley of Toledo, O., Franklin 
Pulley, a student of William and Mary College, and Marsden, David and Reid 
Pulley of Ivor.  A sister, Mrs. Porter Holliday of DeLand, Fla., survives, and 
five brothers - Junius W. Pulley of Courtland, Frank P. Pulley of Courtland, 
Frank P. Pulley, Jr. of Waverly, and R.H., D.H. and T.M. Pulley of Ivor.  Six 
grandchildren survive.

RITES LARGELY ATTENDED 

   Funeral services held from the home at 3 o'clock Monday afternoon, were 
largely attended and there were many handsome floral tributes.  Services were 
conducted by the Rev. John W. Reams of Mt. Vernon Baptist church, Richmond, a 
former pastor, assisted by the Rev. Geo. Kissinger, III, of Ivor Baptist 
Church; the Rev. R.N. Hartness, of Ivor Methodist Church; the Rev. E.B. Loving 
of Boykins Methodist Church, the Rev. A.R. Mays of Brambleton Avenue Methodist 
Church, Norfolk.  At the home a combined choir from the three Ivor churches 
sang "Jesus, Lover of My Soul" and "Sometime We'll Understand," a quartette 
singing "Does Jesus Care?"

   At the grave the choir sang "In the Sweet Bye and Bye."  Woodmen rites were 
held at the grave, followed by the Masonic committal service, in which members 
of the Ivor lodge were assisted by members from the Windsor, Zuni and 
Courtland lodges.  Chas. W. Davis of Courtland conducted the service.

   Pallbearers were the five brothers of the deceased, R.H., D.H., T.M. Pulley 
of Ivor, Frank P. Pulley, Jr. of Waverly and Junius W. Pulley of Courtland, 
and L.T. Saunders, W.C. Rawls and Archer Gardner of Ivor.
