SYLVESTER FRANKLIN VICK

   S. Frank Vick of Boykins died May 11 in his 79th year. Although a helpless 
invalid for 16 years, he exemplified a patient spirit and it was his delight 
to have friends come in and fellowship with him. It was always his great joy 
to hear the Word of God read in his presence and to be remembered in prayer.

   Sylvester Franklin Vick was born in Southampton County, the son of Martha 
Eudora Reese and Horace Vick. He is survived by his widow; two sons, Herman B. 
Vick of  Richmond and Guy B. Vick of Woodberry Forest; three daughters, Mrs. 
N.F. Gray of Newport News, Misses Viola and Sara Vick of Boykins; four half-
brothers, E.A. Felts of Drewryville, L.D. Felts of Sebrell, B.E. Felts of 
Branchville and J.B.  Felts of Boykins; one half-sister, Mrs. Maude Rawls of 
Capron, and nine grandchildren.

   He was a member of the Boykins Baptist Church for 70 years, a regular 
attendant at Sunday school and church until ill-health prevented. He was a 
merchant in Boykins until he became an invalid.

   The funeral was conducted by his Pastor, Rev. Frank B. Handley, assisted by 
Rev. R.L. Haga. In the course of the service glowing tribute was paid to the 
faithful wife who stood so patiently and courageously by his side during these 
years. At the grave Mrs. H.M. Purviance sang "At Eventide."  Interment was in 
Beechwood Cemetery. The active pallbearers were: B.F. Britt, W.F. McKinstry, 
T.H. Porter, W. Hugh Powell, Walter Gray, Wallace White, A.L. Knight and Frank 
Stephens.
