ELIAS ROWLAND VICK

   Mr. E.R. Vick of the Branchville community died at his home on Sunday, 
April 7, at the close of a long and useful life, spent in ministering to his 
family, in service to his neighbors and loyalty to his church and in living 
the simple, honest, God-fearing life characteristic of the honorable, 
conscientious, American citizen of the country communities of the South.

   Mr. Vick was 75 years old, and is survived by his widow Mrs. Margaret Jane 
Vick; by five sons, J.H., W.H., R.D., Cicero and Elnor Vick; by three 
daughters, Mrs. Mary L. Grizzard, Mrs. Maggie A. Bryant and Mrs. Elizabeth G. 
Grizzard; by three brothers, J.S. Vick of Norfolk County, J.B. Vick of 
Northampton County, N.C., and E.S. Vick of Hertford County, N.C. and one 
sister, Mrs. Lois Shoulders of Northampton County, N.C.

   He was a consistent member of the Baptist church and the funeral services 
were conducted from his late residence on Monday afternoon at 3:30 o’clock by 
Rev. H.P. Dalton interment following in the family burial plot.  The 
pallbearers were his five sons and three sons-in-law, Messrs. W.T. Grizzard, 
J.J. Grizzard and R.A. Bryant.

We've had considerable difficulty in establishing his name.  It had been 
   suggested that his first name was Ernest, and that his middle name was 
   Richard. 

His death certificate (1918-374-11080) unfortunately gives only his initials 
   E.R.  An abstract is posted at:

Pending definitive evidence, we have settled on "Elias Rowland"- based in part 
   on his namesake grandson's obits and cemetery record- posted at: 
   http://files.usgwarchives.net/va/southampton/obits/v200e3ob.txt 

His son Richard's obit ("Tidewater News," Jan. 30, 1953, p. 6) gives his 
   father as Elias Rowland Vick, and spells his brother's name Elner; file at:
