Death Claims Fieldale’s
Grand Old Man
Fieldale feels deeply the passing of
Brice Stultz, its oldest citizen, who
truly exemplified throughout his long
and useful life the spirit of the beau
tiful poem, “The House By the Side of
the Road”, being truly “a friend to
man.”
Mr. Stultz was born near Martins
ville, the son of Brice Martin and Tam-
sie Wells Stultz. He was active in dif
ferent positions of trust and responsi
bility, his later years having been spent
in the employ of Marshall Field & Co.,
to whom he was loyally attached. In
young manhood he was married to Ida
V. Stultz whose passing occurred three
years ago. Four children survive this
union, viz; Mrs. Lelia Stultz Minter
and Brice Martin Stultz, Fieldale, Mrs.
T. Clyde Self, Martinsville, and Mrs.
Archie T. Cahill, Adsit, and the follow
ing grandchildren: Misses Anne, Vir
ginia and Gertrude Minter, Brice Stultz,
Jr. and Sarah Ann Stultz, Fieldale,
Henry Self, Martinsville, Mrs. Doris
Moss, Norfolk, James Stultz, Baltimore,
and Sgt. Benjamin Minter with the
armed forces, who with a host of
friends revere the memory of a truly
unselfish life.
The funeral services were held Mon
day, April 26, at 2 o’clock in McKee’s
funeral home in charge of his pastor.
Rev. Ralph Yow, of Fieldale Methodist
church, assisted by Rev. Landon Mad-
dex, pastor of Fieldale Baptist church.
Tennyson’s “Crossing the Bar” was
read by Rev. Mr. Maddex and one of
James Whitcomb Riley’s comforting
poems by Rev. Mr. Yow.
The services at the grave were con
ducted by members of Piedmont Lodge
of Martinsville of which he was the
oldest member. They were also flower
bearers.
In addition to his children Mr. Stultz
is survived by two sisters, Mrs. Alice
Wall and Miss Anna Stultz, of High
Point, N. C., and one brother, John
Stultz, of Memphis, Tenn. The many
floral tributes were evidence of the
love people bore him. Memories of his
unselfishness, human kindness and
helpfulness will enrich the lives of all
who knew Mr. Stultz—Fieldale’s Grand
Old Man.

Robert Stewart
Even if you look closely you won’t
see a gun on this young man’s should
ers—for the very good reason that he
isn’t physically able. But just the
same he is a first class soldier, doing
his bit, and we believe his “bit” is the
largest of any Marshall Field employe.
Unable to serve in the front lines
Robert is putting 45 percent of his in
come in War Bonds. Can anybody top
this? His older brother, James, is in
the Army; his sister, Jessie, is an
Army nurse. Robert is setting a mark
for all of us to shoot at.
