JAMES EZRA GILLETTE

   James Ezra Gillette, 76, of Belle Meade, N.J., a native of Southampton 
County with several relatives in the Courtland community, died in Raiford 
Memorial Hospital on Tuesday night, December 14. He had suffered for several 
years from a heart condition, which suddenly grew worse while he was visiting 
in Courtland. 

   Until his retirement four years ago Mr. Gillette had been connected with the 
River Crest Sanatorium, Long Island, N.Y. and with the Belle Meade Sanatorium 
in Belle Meade, N.J.  Since his retirement he had acting in an advisory 
capacity for both institutions. It had long been his custom to spend the period 
from Thanksgiving to Christmas in his native county, visiting relatives and 
getting in some hunting. 

   Mr. Gillette was the son of the late Ezra Gillette and Lucy Magette 
Gillette. He is survived by a brother, George W. Gillette of Temperanceville, 
and a sister, Mrs. Nettie Gillette Williams of Danville, and by several nieces 
and nephews. 

   Services were conducted at the grave in Riverside Cemetery Courtland, this 
(Thursday) afternoon at 2 o'clock by Rev. C.A. McCormick, Jr., pastor of the 
Courtland Methodist Church. The Courtland Masonic Lodge rendered the order's 
funeral rites.
