EUNICE GRIFFIN DREWRY

MRS. EUNICE DREWRY

   Mrs. Eunice Griffin Drewry, the young wife of Reginald Drewry, died Monday, 
May 22, at 5:30 a.m., in the home of Mr. Drewry’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. J.S. 
Drewry. No one could be more greatly missed in the community than she. She was 
20 years of age and was a consistent member of Black Creek Baptist Church. She 
was leader of Group No. 4 for the B.Y.P.U. and a valuable Y.W.A. worker in the 
church.  Mrs. Drewry had been married only five months. She was a woman of 
quiet, unobtrusive nature and upright character and always had a sunny smile 
for everyone she met.

   She leaves to mourn their loss a devoted husband, Reginald Drewry, mother 
and father, Mr. and Mrs. W.H. Griffin, four sisters, Mrs. Hunter Blythe, Mrs. 
B. Edwards, Mrs. I.L. Carter and Miss Odell Griffin, three brothers, Hunter, 
Burnley and Floyd Griffin, besides many other relatives and a host of friends.

   The high esteem in which she was held was attested by the great number of 
people who attended her funeral and the abundance of floral designs given by 
her friends. The funeral was held Tuesday at 2:30 o’clock p.m. by her pastor, 
Rev. C.L. Eubank, in the home of J.S. Drewry, after which the body was laid to 
rest in the family cemetery to await the resurrection morn.

   The active pallbearers were Edgar Aurelius and Julian Drewry, Livy and 
Burnley Griffin and Hunter Blythe; honorary, Dr. R.L. Raiford, G.W. West, H.T. 
Councill, E.A. Councill, H.E. Joyner, J.K. Wade, L.T. West, W.D. Camp, M.C.
