Frank P. ASKEW died last night about eleven o’ clock following a prolonged illness, due to complications. The announcement of his dearth came as no surprise as his condition had been critical for some weeks and at times his death momentarily expected. The funeral will be held Wednesday afternoon, interment to be made at two o’clock at the Dublin Cemetery by the side of his wife.
The death of Mr. ASKEW removes one who has been closely identified with this community for more than thirty years. Born in Bertie County, N.C., March 5, 1857, he removed to Dublin when a young man, accepting a clerkship with James Rigney & Son., millers. He later came to Pulaski to accept a position with Hatcher & Bell., clothiers, which form changed several times in the intervening years, as the original form of the present Hatcher, Askew & Company. At one time he was identified with his brother, J. D. Askew in the business at which time it was known as Askew Brothers. In the more recent years he was a traveling salesman, but several years ago he had to give up the road owing to failing health. Since that time every means has been taken to a restoration to health, but only temporary relief seemed possible,
He married Miss Bertie HAWKINS, daughter of Mr. And Mrs. W. H. HAWKINS, then of Dublin. Three children were born to them and survive the father. Mrs. J. C. HARMAN, Donald and Billy ASKEW. Mrs. ASKEW having died December 11, 1909. There are three sisters, Mrs. A. W. ASKEW and Mrs. Starkie SHARP, both of Harrelsville, N. C., and Mrs. Dora A. WOOD of Winton, N. C., and two brothers, Postmaster J. D. ASKEW, of Pulaski, and W. O. ASKEW, of Orlando, N. C.
The deceased was a member of the Royal Areanum fraternity. He was a man of genial disposition and had his host of friends in the town of his adoption and throughout the territory in which he traveled the latter days of his life. |SW Times | |Wednesday, June 19, 1963 |Unknown |ASKEW |Franklin |Donald | | |Transcribed by Carolyn Worrell

He was 90 years old.
Caldwell, a native of Radford, spurred research into the first student’s life when he donated the Bible of his uncle, who was called "Add," to Special Collections. Later, he worked to get the university to name the second-floor lounge in Johnston Student Center after Add and commissioned his own nephew, a New York artist, to paint the watercolor portrait of Add that now hangs in the Caldwell lounge. The lounge was dedicated on March 19, 1993.
Bill Caldwell also donated a photograph of the first student as an adult and encouraged another relative to donate one of Add’s report cards to Special Collections. Additionally, he put a Virginia Tech writer who was researching Add’s life into contact with relatives who remembered the first student, leading to the discovery and donation of a letter written by Add.
The research revealed that then-16-year-old Add Caldwell walked with his older brother, Milton, as much as 38 miles from his home in the Sinking Creek community of Craig County to register at Virginia Tech, then called Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical College, on Oct. 1, 1872. Mic also registered but never graduated. Add spent four years at the school, earning a certificate in agriculture with the second graduating class in 1876. He worked as a schoolteacher, clerk, and salesman before his death in 1910. He was buried in the Caldwell family cemetery in Radford, where his family had moved after he left home.
On Oct. 1, 1997, Bill Caldwell was the university’s special guest at the ceremony to dedicate a state historical marker about his uncle. The event, held in Craig County, marked the 125th anniversary of the day his uncle registered at Virginia Tech.
Bill Caldwell was a Radford realtor and a founding partner in the Giesen-Caldwell Real Estate Agency. As executive secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, he was instrumental in bringing Inland Motors to Radford.
Funeral services were held on Nov. 16 at DeVilbiss Funeral Home in Radford.

A SW Times Editorial
February 12, 1974
Tom COMBITHS was a very special kind of person. In an era that has become impersonal, he remained the Southern gentleman.
In an age where family ties are breaking down his, remained strong.
In a business world where the premium is or aggressiveness, he was patient and understanding
Tom COMBITHSs was particularly special to this newspaper in that his mother, Dess COMBITHS, is the woman's editor.
Thus it was that Tom drove his mother to and from work six days a week-becoming a familiar face at The Times office and a friend to those who were even the most casual acquaintances.
It was a combination of his personal warmth and knowledge that took him to the top in many fields I . In life insurance sales, he was one of the very best in the country.
Civic affairs found him in such roles as Boy Scout leader, president of the Rotary Club, and vice-president of the Chamber of Commerce.
He was a graduate of one of the best schools in the east, Rutgers University, and gained the rank of Lieutenant in the U.S. Navy.
A footballer in his school and college days, he became an avid skier in later years - and again, he excelled.
But his achievements aside, Tom COMBITHS will be remembered even more as a good citizen an good friend.
A very special kind of person. |SW Times | |Tuesday, March 18, 2003 | |CONKLIN |Bonnie | |MILLS | |CONKLIN, Bonnie Mills, 50, of Radford, passed away Tuesday, March 18, 2003, at her home.

Bobby was born in Dublin on April 19, 1926 and the third son of the late L. T. Dudley and Mary Dudley Mustard. He was preceded in death by his two older brothers, L. T. and Billy. Bobby and his two brothers were mentally handicapped men who were well known citizens in the Dublin community. He filled his days by walking the streets of Dublin and was a familiar face at all the businesses where he could be seen peeking in their windows to see what was happening. Bobby visited with the men at the long gone Melton and Marshall gas station, walked the aisles at Wade's wanting a hot dog, hunk of cheese and a Pepsi Cola. Bobby loved the old Dublin Pharmacy and helping Doug "fill" the pill bottles. He "managed" the Dublin Hardware with Diane, visited with Elden at Old Mill Furniture and flirted with the women at all the beauty shops. His last love was Bob Donley's Barber Shop. He got up in the mornings anxious to get out on the streets to go to work. He would tell everyone he cut hair all day and made $2 dollars. Bobby had a girlfriend on every corner and ladies waiting in line to be called his darlin'. However, it was well known that his #1 darlin' was Sue Thompson-Hubble, who was also his Sunday School teacher. Bobby always sat beside her in class with his head on her shoulder. Sue's husband, Bill, was one of his best buddies who taught him how to make faces and drive a wheelchair. He loved to eat better than anything and a hamburger and ice cream from Graffiti's made his day. The girls there spoiled him rotten by giving him everything he wanted. A life long member of Dublin United Methodist Church, he had the remarkable record of 68 years perfect attendance in Sunday School and almost the same record in worship. He was a member of the Wesley Class. Bobby was known to preach you a sermon whether you thought you needed it or not. Somehow he knew if you weren't in church on Sunday. Then he would call you a "sorry rascal" and tell you to be in church next week. The folks that sat around him on Sundays waited for Bobby to say, "That's it", before they moved from their seats to leave the worship service. Bobby was an example to all because of his love for everyone and his enjoyment of life. Most Dublin folks have a Bobby story like: stopping a tourist on the street and then being mistaken for the Town Police, flagging a Norfolk and Western train on through town that was supposed to stop, telling everyone to "get that cat out of here". Somehow he knew when any church was having a potluck supper and went hoping for a chicken leg. He wandered the town streets and we all took the time to wait for him to cross the road. Bobby taught us that knowing Jesus was all-important, that loving one another was the right thing to do and that laughing at ourselves was okay. Bobby and his brothers influenced our lives by helping us be accepting of all people, especially those with handicapping conditions. Our town is a better place for having had them walk on our streets and then into our hearts. He is survived by his sister, Mary Jane and cousins, Jackie Morgan and her daughter Amanda, Hazel Dudley Cox and sons Tim and Gary. Visitation will be Monday, June 2, 2003 from 6 to 8 p.m. at Dublin United Methodist Church. Funeral services will be Tuesday, June 3, 2003 at 3 p.m. from the Dublin United Methodist Church with the Rev. Mike Travis, Rev. Charles Lockerby and Rev. Dr. Tal Stanley officiating. Burial will follow in the Old Dublin Cemetery. Active pallbearers will be Bob Donley, Doug Futrell, Mark Buckland, Dan Sumner, Carl Lindstrom and Phillip Baker. Honorary pallbearers are members of the Wesley Sunday School Class in addition to Haven Howe, Warner Osborne, Cortland Spotts and John Bryant. The family desires that persons wishing to remember Bobby give memorials to the Rebuilding Fund of the Dublin United Methodist Church, P. O. Box 577, Dublin, Va. 24084.

THE ROANOKE TIMES
PULASKI - For 43 years, Haridemos John Gianopoulos was a presence at the Hercules Cafe.
Everyone in downtown Pulaski knew him by his nickname, "Mike."
New customers, noticing Gianopoulos' classic Greek looks and his lilting accent, inevitably asked, "Where are you from?"
And Gianopoulos inevitably smiled his beaming smile before answering " Hunting-
ton, West Virginia."
He was born Aug. 12, 1926, in Greece, but it was in the West Virginia town with the mountainous terrain of his homeland that he received his United States citizenship on Nov. 21, 1957.
Soula Gianopoulos, 75, remembers the day she and her husband became Americans.
"It was a little bit hard," she said. "I had to know all the states of the 50 states, who's the governor of West Virginia, who's the president of the United [States]."
Greece was in turmoil when Soula Avgeris and Mike Gianopoulos were children. The German Wehrmacht had invaded in 1941, leading to years of brutality and a civil war that split the country. During the occupation, schooling was in limbo. The school year of 1941-42 lasted only three months and that of 1942-43 only 20 days.
"Dad never really finished high school," noted John Gianopoulos, the eldest of the couple's three sons. (Their only daughter, Patricia, died of leukemia at the age of 1.)
The only son and oldest offspring of a father who worked security at an Athens bank and a mother who was raising the family's four children, Mike Gianopoulos was 14 when his 35-year-old father died of kidney failure. He began working to support the family, and in 1947 left for Athens where he took a job in a bakery, making bread for Greece's armed forces.
On Aug. 5, 1951, Gianopoulos and one of his three sisters got on a ship, traveled 13 days across the Atlantic and stepped into a new life on Long Island, N.Y.
"Looking back," said John Gianopoulos, "when he and his sister came over, that had to be a huge sacrifice. To leave his mother and his sisters behind and his homeland took a lot of courage."
"There was war," recalled Soula Gianopoulos. "We had nothing. The house fall. Businesses fall. We got no food. At that time, President Truman invited us to come here."
Soula had boarded the Queen Frederika for New York two months earlier than her future husband, arriving in this country after a 17-day voyage. Her sister, Stella Pappas, was already an American citizen, living in the growing Southwest Virginia town of Pulaski.
Jimmy and Phillip Gianopoulos, the Gianopoulos' younger sons, said the Greek immigrants wanted to live in familiar places when they relocated. Those who had lived on the Mediterranean coast headed for coastal areas in the United States. Those who hailed from central Greece and its mountains sought the Appalachian highlands.
"The mountains of West Virginia and Virginia reminded Dad of his old hometown," Jimmy Gianopoulos said.
After a year in New York, Mike Gianopoulos went to Huntington to live with his uncle. A bachelor in his mid-20s, word soon spread among Greek families that Gianopoulos was ready to marry. The Greek grapevine stretched across state lines.
Gianopoulos heard of a young beauty named Soula in Pulaski, drove out to meet her and fell in love.
That was Sept. 2, 1955. On Jan. 15, 1956, the couple married.
They lived in West Virginia for a while, but returned to Pulaski when Soula's brother-in-law, George Pappas, died.
Because Stella Pappas could not handle the family restaurant all alone, Gianopoulos decided to help and ended up helping run the Hercules Cafe for the rest of his working life.
"Mike came to work real early, worked real hard and was a good, honest person," remembered Rudolph Farmer, a lifelong Pulaski resident.
The Hercules Cafe started on East Main and later moved to West Main Street. Known for its hot dogs, hamburgers, hearty breakfasts, plate lunches and cold beer, it attracted customers from all walks of life.
Gianopoulos worked six days a week, from early morning to late night.
"But Sunday," Jimmy Gianopoulos said, "was a special day. We ate together, read the newspaper together, sat down as a family together."
"The biggest thing I learned from my Dad was the work ethic," said John Gianopoulos. "Dad never really had any hobbies. I was concerned about what he would do when he retired."
The people of Pulaski saw Gianopoulos every day, even after he sold his last hot dog. He became an avid walker, strolling the streets of the town and greeting his fellow citizens with a warm smile and a first-name salutation. To them, he was as Judge Dow Owens said, "a very gracious, low key, pleasant, engaging man."
To his family, he was the American dream.
"Dad measured success by being able to be here in the states," said Jimmy Gianopoulos, "to have a family and to make life the best he could for his family and his wife." |NRV Today | |Thursday, March 16, 2000 |Thornspring Cemetery |GIBBS |Alethea | |MURPHY |Saturday, October 14, 1911 |Alethea Murphy Gibbs, 88, formerly of Valley St., Pulaski died

"When he arrived in 1956, there was a real question as to whether or not the school would survive," said his son, Robert Helsabeck of Absecon, N.J. "He infused the place with a sense of hope for the future."
Dr. Helsabeck, who retired to Urbanna and relocated to Richmond in 1989, died Thursday at the Masonic Home of Virginia. He was 94. He landed at the small Canton, Mo., college from Lynchburg, where he was a former vice mayor and served Lynchburg College first as dean, then as assistant to the president.
Under Dr. Helsabeck's leadership, Culver-Stockton's once-sagging enrollment more than doubled. Its assets grew three-fold and a number of new building projects, including three residence halls and expansions of the campus library and fine-arts complex, were completed.
"Dr. Helsabeck embodied the leadership and moral conviction crucial to the success of a liberal arts college such as Culver-Stockton," said William L. Fox, president of the college. "His work will be long remembered."
The college established the Helsabeck Prize for Excellence in Teaching in 1980.
After retiring to Urbanna in 1973, he taught civics and history classes at Rappahannock Community College, served several terms on the Town Council and volunteered in the local elementary schools as a reading tutor.
Throughout his life, he served as a supply pastor for the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), and in both Virginia and Missouri he was a past president of the church's respective state conventions.
"His religion was always important to him, but his principal calling was education," his son said.
Reared in King and Queen County, he graduated from Lynchburg College in 1929. He held a master's degree from George Peabody Teacher's College and a Ph.D. from Ohio State University.
Before his career in higher education, Dr. Helsabeck spent 15 years as a teacher, coach and principal at schools in Nansemond and Gloucester counties, West Point, Hopewell, Radford and Roanoke. He was a former curriculum counselor for the Virginia Department of Education, working in Southwest Virginia.
In addition to his son Robert, survivors include his wife, Emily Ailsworth Helsabeck; a daughter, Jane H. Marton of Cumming, Ga.; two other sons, Fred Helsabeck Jr. of Canton, Mo., and Henry C. Helsabeck of Newberg, Ore.; 10 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren.

He was born July 24, 1956, at Fort George G. Mead, Maryland, but spent his early years in Pulaski, Virginia. He is a graduate of Pulaski High School where he participated in varsity football and other sports. Thereafter, he attended and was a 1978 B.A. graduate of Washington & Lee University with a double major in politics and religion. In 1981, he received his Juris Doctor degree from the Washington & Lee School of Law. While in law school, Rob was a writer for the Washington & Lee Law Review. Subsequently, he entered the private practice of law with the Gilmer, Sadler, Ingram, Sutherland & Hutton law firm in its Blacksburg office. Over the years, Rob's law career encompassed a wide spectrum of pursuits, as a plaintiff's counsel, as a defense attorney, as a solo practitioner and as a public prosecutor. During this time, Rob was privileged to have served with the Atlanta, Georgia law firm of Hurt, Richardson, Garner, Todd and Cadenheand; with the Roanoke law firm of Wooten Hart; and with the Charlottesville law firm of Tremblay & Smith; and as a Deputy Commonwealth's Attorney for the City of Waynesboro. From 1994 to 1998, he also served as an Administrative Hearing Officer for the Supreme Court of Virginia, primarily hearing cases for the Department of Education and the Department of Employee Relations Counselors. Having a lifelong yearning to be more involved in His Lord's work, Rob took a sabbatical from his law endeavors in 1988, entering Yale University to attend its Divinity School. He received his Master of Arts in Religion from Yale University in 1990. During his time at Yale and because of his legal background, Rob served as Special Counsel to the President of Yale University, having been recruited by that office to act as Special Liaison with the University's major benefactors, providing legal and political accounting for the use of its grants. Following Yale, he returned to the private practice of law in Virginia, moving to Charlottesville. Recently, Rob enjoyed serving as a special attorney with the Virginia Office for Protection and Advocacy, in its Staunton office, an agency dedicated to serving the disabled and other disadvantaged citizens throughout Virginia. Rob never met a stranger and loved all people. His engaging smile, quick wit, gift of conversation, and his competitive advocacy for his law clients will not be readily forgotten. Rob's life as a Christian lawyer, as a Sunday School teacher, as a lay reader for his church, as a member of the Diocesan Commission on Ministry, and as a civic volunteer was a search that served God and others. He had an innate desire to become a priest in his own right and to be ever closer to his Maker; now that dream has come to pass. His many friends and loving family will always cherish his special time with us. Rob Ingram is survived by his parents, Jacqueline M. Ingram of Pulaski County, Va.; and Robert J. Ingram of Radford, Va.; sister and brother-in-law, Lyn and Webster Day and their sons, Cricket, Bladen, and Robbie Day of Roanoke, Va.; brother and sister-in-law, Carter and Julie Ingram of Christiansburg, Va.; stepmother, Janet L.

Funeral Services For Dr. Wm McKEE At Florida Home
Not only Eutis, but the entire surrounding section, is sorrowing this afternoon while the last sad rites are being conducted at the Presbyterian church for Dr. W. P. McKEE, beloved pioneer resident and physician, who passed to his reward Saturday, after a short illness. His remains are being laid in their last resting place in Greenwood cemetery, with the highest honors, bestowed by the Masonic order, of which he was a lifetime member. All business in the city was suspended during the hour of service.
Dr. McKEE was a native of Kentucky, having been born in Mount Vernon in that sate 80 years ago. He came to Florida in 1884, locating first at Pittman, and moving to Eutis in 1896, where he lived until his death, practicing his profession until illness forced him to retire a short time ago.
A man of kindly, loving character, he numbered his friends by his acquaintance, and great as was his skill in healing bodily ills it was ability in bringing spiritual and mental comfort to those who were in distress.
Throughout his lifetime, Dr. McKEE, was active in the religious and civic life of the community, a consistent Christian and member of the Presbyterian church, which he served as an Elder for 44 years. He was a thirty-third degree Mason, having attained the highest honors possible in that great fraternal body, in 1923. he was an honorary member of the Royal Order of Scotland, being one of about 600 who have attained that distinction, and one of the 400 honorary members of the Royal Order of Constantaine.
Dr. McKEE’s death, which occurred early Saturday morning, was the result of a complete breakdown of his system, that occurred only a few weeks ago, and while not enterely unexpected, came as a shock to the entire community. Funeral services were held in the Presbyterian church at two o’clock, this afternoon, in the presence of a large throng of sorrowing friends. Many beautiful floral offerings testified to the love and esteem in which he was held. The services at the church were conducted by his pastor, Rev. S. H. Moore.
Following the church services the sad procession wended (sp) its way to Greenwood cemetery, where the last rites were conducted by the Masonic lodges of the Golden Triangle, assisted by several prominent members from other sections of the state.
Besides his widow, Dr. McKEE is survived by one sone, William McKEE of Chicago, and a grand-daughter living in Kentucky. Two sons and a daughter preceded him to the Great Beyond.
Eustis promises today to be the most talked of Masonic city in the country as the unique circumstances attending the funeral of Dr. W. P. McKEE, become nationally known. Within the memory of no local Mason can it be recalled that eight Masonic pallbearers, each of the 33rd degree attended a former 33rd degree Mason. — Eustis, Fla., "Lake Region." |SW Times | |Monday, July 21, 2003 |Roselawn Memorial Gardens |MCKENZIE |Catherine | | | |McKENZIE, L.

Her father, fondly known as T.J., was the founder and director of the Virginia Maid Hosiery Mills in Pulaski until his death. Her sisters, who preceded her in death, were Virginia Wallner Rice and Mildred Wallner Weldon. Dorothy gave birth to her three children in Pulaski, and during her years here was a member of Christ Episcopal Church.

She was a gifted artist, who enjoyed creating things of beauty all her life. Her early interests included drawing and painting, music, acting, riding, flying, and swimming.

Our town was grieved yesterday when a dispatch came from Roanoke that William THORNTON was dead. He was a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. W. C. THORNTON, borned and reared here. For several years he has been in the commercial business, drumming for different houses in West Virginia and in Roanoke. He has been living in Roanoke for a few years. He has one brother, R. J. THORNTON, in Roanoke. He leaves several sisters, Mrs. Bettie TIPTON the only one of them living here. The family burial ground is here but he is to be buried in Roanoke. He leaves a wife and several children. Will was always a good boy. He died with consumption, a disease I suppose his friends never thought about his ever having. After he left home he came back regularly to visit his parents and his people. He was here on a visit during this past fall. |SW Times | |Thursday, March 01, 1962 |Oakwood Cemetery |THORNTON |Dora |O. |QUESENBERRY | |Transcribed by Pam Jones

Born July 24, 1849,--Died Oct. 13, 1933
"Beautiful life is that whose span
Is spent in duty to God and man.
Beautiful twilight, at set of sun
Beautiful death, with life well done."
It has been said that death loves a shining mark.
The full truth of that saying was particularly emphasized with the passing of "Uncle Lew" Warner as he was so familiarly known to almost every man, woman and child of this portion of Burnet county where he had spent so many years of usefulness and service.
Here indeed was a beautiful life, some longer than the average and filled to the brim with kindly deeds and noble acts.
We realize our own weakness in looking upon death as a calamity, especially when it places its clutching hand upon a loved member of our own family, leaving our hearts cold with grief and misery, but the Bible never speaks of it so. It rather likens death to a victory--and Paul shows us that death is simply an exchange of the material body for the spiritual, and the grave is but a hyphen between two worlds. That which the world calls death is to the faithful Christian, the beginning of immortality, and the grave is but the gateway of life--a stepping stone to a better land.
Uncle Lew was a firm believer in the Bible and he followed its teachings faithfully and we feel sure that death held no terrors for him.
Words fail me when I try to express my appreciation of a life so well spent and it is hoped that it may not be uninteresting to sketch, though imperfectly, the life of one who was so well known to most of us; whose rich intellectual endowments; whose strong moral qualities and whose personal character as a citizen, neighbor and friend, rendered him an object of highest esteem among all--young and old alike--who truly knew him through continued association.
Lewis I. Warner was born in Pulaske County Virginia, on July 24, 1849. There he grew to manhood and married Miss Emma E. Shelburn in May of 1870. To this union were born eight children.
Three of these children, C.P. Warner of Deanville, Texas, Mrs. A. Howell of Burnet and Mrs. Maybelle Howell, now deceased, were born in Virginia and were brought to Texas by their parents when they came in 1877. The other five children, Jim Warner, several years deceased, a tiny daughter Emma, who died in infancy. Mrs. Mattie Garrett, M.S. Warner, and L.A. Warner of the Lake Victor community, were born in this state, in this county, and at the old home which their father and mother settled upon their arrival from Virginia.
I am told by one of the sons, that the L. Warner family and the R. Bowden family made the trip from Virginia to Texas together, arriving in Austin, Texas, by rail and coming to this county by ox-drawn wagons. Together, they selected their future homes on adjoining lands, hauled their lumber, wire etc., from Old Round Rock by means of Ox-drawn wagons, began their improvements and settled down to the serious business of home making and community building in which they have been actively engaged ever since.
Between these two men and their families, pioneers of Burnet County, there existed a beautiful friendship that has endured through all the years, even until the end, and as Mr. Warner lay upon his death bed. Mr. Bowden was constantly at his side, or as much so as his age and failing strength would permit, ever offering cheer and consolation to his family, and encouragement and hope to his old friend. These two men had stood by each other faithfully in life and when the Angel of Death kissed the eyelids of one, the other stood by in silent grief, feeling a loneliness perhaps, beyond our own comprehension. Many, many years ago, a mere handful of sincere Christians in their immediate vicinity, saw the need of a church building where members of the Church of Christ could worship according to the teaching of the bible, and both men having become members of the Church of Christ in early life, contributed heavily to such a cause, and in due time the church at Dobyville was built, furnished and as far back as I can recall, these two christian men and their families together with a few other early settlers were to be seen every Sunday at the place of worship.
The congregation grew and flourished under their leadership. Later as a greater need arose for a church in a more central location, these two great men again threw their strength together and were strongly instrumental in establishing a like institution in the small town of Lake Victor.
Mr. Warner was a prominent figure in the building of this little town. When the branch line of the H.&T.C. Rail Road connecting Burnet and Lampasas was completed in 1902 and a station was established here, Mr. Warner went into business with a small stock of general merchandise, and has operated a successful business ever since; however, as his strength began to fail some years ago he took his son, M.S. Warner into partnership and the firm has operated since under the name of L. Warner and Son.
Not only has Mr. Warner operated a successful business, strongly supported the Church of Christ, but was one of the heaviest contributors to the two other churches when they were established in Lake Victor, was a staunch friend of the school, a most liberal contributor to the Orphan's Homes of our state and was at all times deeply interested in the welfare of the community in which he lived.
He believed in civic rightousness and practiced his belief.
His faithful wife whom we all knew and loved as "Aunt Emma" died many years ago, and though many times lonely, we know, Uncle Lew has carried on--has kept the faith--fought a good fight, and to us it seems he had lived a beautiful life to a happy old age, surrounded by his adoring children, grand and great grand children--in his own home under the tender care of a devoted son and his lovely family.
His death occurred on Oct. 13, 1933 and interment was made at 3 o'clock the following afternoon in the family cemetery on the old home place.
Funeral services were held at the cemetery with Rev. Len Noble of Burnet, of the Church of Christ, officiating, and assisted by Rev. Walter Everett and Rev. A.V. Field.
The pallbearers were six grandsons of the deceased.
The multitude of people who gathered to pay their last tribute of respect, and the gorgeous floral offering was a silent testimonial of the esteem in which he was held. These expressions of love and respect speak louder than words, of the life he has lived among us.
We join with the community in extending our sincere sympathy to his family.
I know, we sometimes feel that mere words are empty, at a time like this, but I, who have suffered a like experience, know that kindly deeds and words of sympathy go far toward softening our grief and bridging the awful chasm over which we pass.
Uncle Lew was indeed a wonderful character and one who has proved his sterling worth, by his life, and the sweet memory of his goodness lingers like twilight hues when the sun has set and,
"In the book of Life, on its pages old
His virtues are traced in letters of gold.
Each kindly act and good deed done,
Is there recounted, one by one.
In memories sweet like ribbons gay
Entwine the record and lay it away.
Reverently, sadly, bow thine head
For our departed, honord dead."

He was born on April 23, 1948 in Richmond, Va. to Paul Fulton, Sr. and Frances Thomas Wheeler. Chip was a 1966 graduate of Dublin High School and obtained his BS from East Tennessee State University. Chip also was an honors graduate from Medical College of Virginia (MCV) holding degrees as a Pharmacist and Doctor of Dentistry. While attending MCV, he received numerous awards, served as president of the student body and was listed in Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities. After retiring as a dentist from the State of Virginia Health Department, Chip resided in Houston, Texas, and most recently Asheville, N.C. He is survived by his beloved sister, Carolyn Wheeler MacLeod and her children, Shannon Nelson and husband, Craig of Roanoke, and Shawn MacLeod and wife, Kristy of Austin, Texas; his former wife, June Butler and dear children whom he loved as his own, Martin Struth and wife, Heather, Catherine Bibawy and her husband, Ragg of Houston, Texas; as well as a large extended family of dear aunts, uncles, cousins and close friends. Chip's spirit was that of no other. It can truly be said that he never met a stranger and easily made new friends who grew to love and respect him almost immediately. He was a great storyteller and brought smiles and humor to every person that he met. One of his most loved past-times was joining friends at the local coffee shop for good conversation and espresso. He had a passion for history and had traveled extensively abroad. All whose lives were touched by this wonderful young man, received a true blessing from God, and his passing leaves a void in our hearts. We will miss his beautiful smile, twinkling brown eyes, strong hugs and the reassurance his presence provided.

Born at Snowville in Pulaski County June 27, 1906 on her family farm to Lewis and Bettie Trolinger Harvey, descendents of early settlers who moved to Southwest Virginia seeking fertile land and salt petre for gunpowder during the Revolutionary War. She moved to Radford with her four brothers and three sisters the day after Christmas, 1906 so they could attend Radford City Schools. Her strong Protestant mother and father, were young children during the War between the States and were firm but loving parents having suffered the rigors of a post-war Virginia economy. Greatly influenced by those examples of an earlier time around her, she nonetheless thrived on routine household chores and the joy of school friends. A great sadness however, was the death of her brother, Fred in WWI by German enemy fire only days before the 1918 armistice, an event that cost her mother to wear black in honor of her son most of the remainder of her life. Dilcie graduated from Radford College in 1952 and Brenau College, Gainesville, Ga. in 1927. She married Alec Charles Wilson on November 29, 1929 and moved to Martinsville the following month at the beginning of the Great Depression. They moved to their new $4000 home July 4, 1930 and there she lived for more than 71 years. Early she joined the First Presbyterian Church in Martinsville, the Current Events Club, Joseph Martin Chapter of DAR and was a Charter Member of the Beaver Creek Garden Club. She was a mother, homemaker and President of Wilson Quarries for nearly a decade after her husbands death in 1979. Known for her strong work ethics and witty sayings, she was quick to say a kind word. She will be greatly missed. Surviving are two sons, Robert Littleton Wilson and his wife, Patricia S.
