ADDIE ETTA VAUGHAN HARCUM

DEATH OF MRS. W.T. HARCUM

   Mrs. Addie Vaughan Harcum, widow of the late W.T. Harcum, died at her home 
in the Sycamore community Saturday night after an illness of two weeks. Mrs. 
Harcum, who was 76 years of age, was a native of this community, the daughter 
of the late Hillory and Mrs. Margaret Willis Vaughan, and was highly loved and 
esteemed by her neighbors and a large circle of friends for her many fine 
qualities of generous neighborliness and her sterling Christian character.

   She was one of the oldest members of Sycamore Baptist Church, as well as one 
of its most useful and faithful communicants, never neglecting its services or 
the consistent practice of her religion. Funeral services were held from that 
church Monday afternoon at 4 o’clock by her pastor, the Rev. John Isa, assisted 
by two former pastors, the Rev. Floyd P. Davis of Pasquotank county, NC and the 
Rev. Kenneth E. Burke of Norfolk. There was a large attendance of sorrowing 
friends, and may lovely flowers, the casket being covered with a pall of fern, 
lilies and red roses.

   The church choir, assisted by several choir members from Franklin, sang 
"Rock of Ages" and "I’m Bound for the Promised Land", while a quartette, 
composed of Mrs. Hubert Cogg, Mrs. Rosalie Britt, Ernest K. Brinkley and Percy 
Bunch sang "We Are Going Down the Valley". Burial was made in the church yard 
cemetery by the side of her husband who died November 1, 1938. The active 
pallbearers were: J.R. Boyette, J.L. Vaughan, Jesse Harcum, B.D Darden, J. Tom 
Vaughan, Rowland Vaughan, John W. Darden and Hudson R. Lankford.

   Mrs. Harcum is survived by six sons, Elmo Harcum of Norfolk, W. Emory, Otto, 
and J.B. Harcum of Franklin, H.W. Harcum of Virginia Beach and the Rev. Fred 
Harcum of Wise, Va.; by two daughters, Mrs. R.L. Boone of Portsmouth and Mrs. 
J.L. Parker of Norfolk; by nine grandchildren and a host of friends.
