EDWARD MEREDITH PRIDDY 

  Funeral services for Edward Meredith Priddy were conducted from the Boykins 
Baptist Church Wednesday afternoon, November 3, at 3 o'clock.  The Rev. Frank 
B. Handley officiated, assisted by Rev. Kenneth E. Burke of Courtland Baptist 
Church. 

  Mr. Priddy, the son of the late Edward D. and Mrs. Addie B. Priddy of 
Boykins, died Sunday, October 31, at the home of his sister, Mrs. M.A. Thomas, 
after a long illness.  He was born August 9, 1900, in Norfolk, his family 
moving to Boykins when he was a small boy.  At the age of nine years he joined 
the Boykins Baptist Church. 

  Mr. Priddy was formerly employed by Chas. W. Priddy and the Pocomoke 
Fertilizer companies in Norfolk.  At the time of his last illness he was 
laboratory and X-Ray technician at Bonnie Burn Sanatorium, Scotch Plains, 
N.J., bad health forcing him to give up this work. 

  He is survived by his wife, who before her marriage was Miss Willie Rose 
Jenkins of Appalachia, Va., his mother, Mrs. Addie B. Priddy of Boykins, and 
one sister, Mrs. M.A. Thomas of Courtland. 

  The bodybearers were Floyd Joyner of Ivor, A.M. Williams, N.S. Beaton,

Walter H. Britt, W.T. Edwards, Dr. J.M. Bland, C.T. Beaton, H.G. Coleman, W.F. 
McKinstry, W.W. White and John Y. Mason. 

  The services were largely attended and the numerous floral designs attested 
the esteem in which Mr. Priddy was held. 

  Several selections were sung, among them "Face to Face" by Miss Emily Hines 
and Mrs. Earle Bryant.
