BROTHER P.L. STEPHENS, left, 99-year-old
member of Perquimans Lodge No. 106; Brother M.V.
Walker, the oldest living Past. Master of Perquimans
Lodge, and B.C. Berry, P.M. Master of Ceremonies and a
50-year Masonic Veteran, discuss "old times" at the
testimonial honoring Brother Stephens.
Perquimans Lodge No. 106 honors Oldest Member:
On August 18, 1970, fifty members of Perquimans Lodge
No. 106, Hertford, honored Brother P.L. Stephens the
oldest living member of the lodge. Brother Stephens will
be 100 years old on October 27, 1970.
Brother Stephens has been a Master Mason for 65
years, having been raised to the Sublime Degree of
Master Mason on November 20, 1905.
Brother M.V. Walker, the oldest living Past Master of
Perquimans Lodge No. 106, who joined the lodge the
same year that Brother Stephens did, was also present.
He is a member of the Great Bridge Lodge in
Chesapeake, Va., and a Past Master of that lodge.
Brother Walker is an Honorary Member of Perquimans
Lodge. He expressed a great deal of satisfaction in being
able to return to his "Home Lodge" and take part in this
memorable occassion.
Brother B.C. Berry Sr., P.M., and a 50-year Masonic
Veteran, was in charge of the program. He gave a
history of the lodge during the time the two distinguished
brethen were raised to the Sublime Degree, and the
years immediately following. This was very interesting
and informative.
Brother Stephens is still alert and in good health. He
takes care of all his personal needs, is interested in all
sports, writes regularly to five daughters, maintains a
small garden, and did attend Sunday School and Church,
without missing a Sunday until this past November. He is
completely deaf, but wears a hearing aid which helps
him when talking to someone close up. He decided that
after attending church for so many years without
hearing what was being said, he'd stay home.
Brother Stephens expressed appreciation for the honor
bestowed upon him, and credited his long life to good
hard work and honest living.
Perquimans County is honoring Mr. Stephens this
week. Mr. Stephens tho now living in Elizabeth City
belongs to Hertford. He lives most of his life here. We
recently had a story in this paper on his life. He now
resides with his daughter in Elizabeth City, Mr. and Mrs.
A.C. Shannonhouse. (The Perquimans Weekly wishes
Mr. Stephens, who is an old friend of the editor, the
happiest of birthdays come October 27th, 1970.)

Historical Book
Highly Praised
There have been many com
pliments to Raymond A. Win
slow, Jr. and the Perquimans
County Historical Society on the
book that was compiled for the
Perquimans County Tri
Centennial. The little book
covers Perquimans County's 300
Anniversary 1670-1970, and is
sponsored by the Perquimans
County Chamber of Commerce.
Cover for the history booklet
was designed by Herbert H.
Nixon, Hertford native.
The book contains information
on how the county began, lists
the important sites and persons
of the past and relates the story
of the building of the Perquimans
Courthouse.
COVER CROP SEEDING IN PERQUIMANS - The
above photo shows a cover crop of wheat being seeded
Oct. 6 on a soybean field by airplane on the farm of
Sterling Colson in the Durants Neck Community of
Perquimans County. This is one way of getting a cover
crop seeded early as the grain is generally seeded at
about the time the leaves begin to shed on soybeans.
still entitled to 36 months of
further training.
Q. I will be released from
active duty just before school
starts this fall. May I apply now
to VA for a Certificate of
Eligibility?
A. No. You will need your
discharge paper and you cannot
obtain this until you are actually
separated from active service.
However, it is advisable to apply
for school admission before you
are legally separated to increase
your chances of acceptance. You
should hurry, as many schools
have already completed their
class enrollments.
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
- IMPORTANT -
In our meeting, held recently, relative to delinquent accounts for
fuel oils and kerosene, we wish to pass on to you, our decisions.
We find it necessary for our credit protection to follow the same
rules as we have in the past years.
We will exchange (each with the other) the names of the delinquent
accounts, and we truly do not want to include yours. You know how you
stand, so won't you please pay, or make proper arrangement for your
old balance?
We have further agreed to make no further deliveries for cash or
credit to those accounts in question until they are properly arranged for
or paid.
Won't you please cooperate with us?
