Writer Gives History Of Life of the Late Robert McCroden Died at the home of Mr. and t Mrs. W. T. Davis of Areola on the 27th of June, 1929, at 4 o'clock, Robert McCroden, age 86 years. Mr. McCroden was the youngest son of James and Ann Carr Mc- c Croden of Baltimore, but original- 1 iv from Ireland. There were nine 1 children in this family. The moth- ^ er died when Robert was four years old. 3 James McCroden was a school 1 teacher in the city schools of Bal- 1 timore. The daughters were high ( class seamstresses and sewed for * the wealthy families in the city. 1 They were very mdsical and often 1 entertained in a musical way. All 1 the family were church people and regular attendants, some being 1 Presbyterian and some Episcopalians. Robert never joined any 1 church until he came to North ? Carolina where he united with ? Reedy CreeK Baptist church near ( Grove Hill. t When he was fifteen years old l his father left Baltimore and took I a school at Oakland out from the 1 city and Robert went with him. 1 They boarded with a family named i Harmon. Later the father took j another school and left Robert i with Mr. Harmon's family. Harmon had a brother-in-law who liv- ^ ed in Warren county near Reedy ] Creek church and ran a small j shuttle loom. This place was c . i, nlnna KHUWI1 as UiC tlttua. VYiaiamo i This was in 1861. I Mr. Harmon and family and <] Robert McCrode came to North { Carolina to visit this family and c shortly after their arrival the War j Between the States broke out, and ^ Robert enlisted at Grove Hill. They c organized at Ransom's bridge un- f der Major Rob Alston and went straight to Hanover Court House, the first battle Robert was in. From there he went to Maryland. He was then 18 years old and was a great favorite among the sol- 1 diers as he had both music and ( wit about him. In the battle of Spottsylvania 1 Court House Mr. McCroden, Maj. Robert Alston, Capt. Phil Alston and black headed A1 Alston were all wounded. Mr. McCroden, los- j ing an arm, came near dying. When he left the hospital he was cpnfr. han.lr tn Wurmnn't: at frrnvp WV?V WMVlk VV W Ml V W ? w f w Hill, but spent much time at Mr. Henry Egerton's, Mr. Pittman's and j Dr. Perry's, all of these living near s Grove Hill. After the war Mr. Har- i mon went back to Baltimore and s Mr. McCroden went to live with 1 Mr. Kearney Williams, who had a 5 Summer home in Warren county, but a large plantation in Martin i county. i He rode in a carnage wnn Mr. Williams to Martin county and stayed there an entire Summer alone with the servants while the family visited Mrs. Rie Alston of Warren county, the mother of Mrs. Williams. From there he . came to live with Mr. Henry Harris of Odell. Mr. and Mrs. Harris s * and son, Oscar, lived at the old ' Harris home. When Mrs. Harris died, Miss Becky Jones, Mr. Harris' sister, came to live with them and ( stayed there until her death. Mr.', Oscar Harris married Miss Sallie', Bet Wiggins and Mr. McCroden j ( continued to live in the Harris t home. He lived there to see Mr. { 4 Vfarrenton, No Ledger S y m. ? i-^i ii/A' "iyiw 31 ~ !it n (UW Kk j tjjfc&ud, , !

From there he i vent to Mr. Tom Hardy's and Mr. 1 rrans Neal of Grove Hill. In the i rear of 1902 Mr. and Mrs. George 1 N. Davis of Areola ottered him a < lome and he came as a member 1 )f the family and remained there i or 27 years. During that time Mr. ind Mrs. Davis both died but Mr. 1 vlcCroden continued his home ;here with Mr. and Mrs. W. T. 1 Davis and Mrs. Beaufort Scull and ! remained there until his death. ; He was gentle, cultured and a ] lighly respected gentleman, loyal j md true. He had many friends i ind he loved them. He was fondii )f flowers and animals. He took ' jreat pride in keeping his room ( leat and clean and could make a i jed better than most people who ' lave two hands. Three years ago j le had a fall which injured his hip ind since that time he grew more 1 feeble, gradually growing worse ( rntil his death. ( He was well cared for and every j vish gratified and he will be great- < y missed by those who cared for ^ lim in his last days, both while and i :olored. He was tenderly laid to E est beside his old friend, Mr. Geo. ( Davis in the cemetery at Areola. 1 rhp Rpv fi R; Wright conducted i he burial services and the grand:hildren of Mr. and Mrs. George Davis carried the floral offerings vhich his friends had sent in mem>ry of one who was always faith, ul.

COLEMAN SPEAKS-UP ( Continued From Page 1 ) jladly related by blood and friendship?two communities that have 'or generations been intimately associated with each other in religious, social and educational associations. Mrs. Perkinson refers to "the xx>r white folks" and to their wearng sun-bonnets and "women work,ng in a field with a hoe." Well, ;hat may have been a strange sight, jut no dishonor can be attached to .t?Perhaps she was also ignorant )f the thousands and tens of thousands of white folks in the textile nills of her own Massachusetts with ivmg quarters so squalid that they j >lept by shifts in their beds, and 5 Drobably it was pitable ignorance \ ;hat did not permit her to recognize | ;hat in Hawtree she was among the f surest Anglo-Saxon stock in all of | Sod's universe, and that they too | ;aw conduct and heard language C apon the part of certain new- | ;omers that failed to measure up | ;o their standard of propriety, but | Southern good breeding prevented | V rth Carolina THE heet of Bishop 4MOTVI Dan ^ INTE 72 \A - 1 1,4$$k 1 2H "f I I P I V I | I II ; I !

She refers to the "first bath room" as if the residents of Wis* were at that time a bunch of ig noramuses. Well, that same intelli gence that permitted them to recog nize the difference between a dee] well and an artesion well would no have permitted them to act as ig aorantly as Mrs. Perinson picture: them.

Maybe it will take some of the lustre from listless checkers. Anyway the game of putting-em in has followers already and here's luck to Roy, the nearest thing we have in town to a Harmony King. "Wonder why chickens always cross the road?" "Couldn't tell you; I don't even know why they cross their legs." They thought it was a football team in a huddle but it was only a crowd of Scotchmen lighting , cigarettes. Saint Peter: "And here's your golden harp." Newly - arrived American: "ITami mnnVi {o fVio Wnnrn nou? XJ.KJYV UIUVXX lO UVTV*i jjuj ment?" Store Manager: "What do you mean by arguing with that customer? Don't you know our rule? The customer is always right." Floorwalker: "I know it. But he insisted that he was wrong." She: "I like your cigarette holder." He: "Why I never use one." She: "Stupid." Scientists say you can make plants intoxicated. Why? Arent most of them potted, anyhow? Bathing suits are becoming ouuii/Cl, UClUtUlijr uicj ntvcoming on some girls. Judging by the way they act, most middle-aged people must feel younger than they look. * S retary aJ nd u*"er, To^h J n~ renton, to S Month En J !r. 1-1929. 1 on F0R C0Bp?^rJ vis T on hand .
