IN MEMORIAM HENRY DUNSTAN DREW On Monday night, November 29, 1920, God in His infinite wis dom saw fit to take unto Himself the spirit of our dear husband and father. Born Oc'xber 16, 1898, in Bev tie county, N. 0., the son of John S- Drew. In his early life he j^ave his heart to God and united with the Baptist church. At the age of twenty he married Mary M. Iloggard. This union was blessed with four children, two boys and two girls, all of whom survive him. He also left a father, six sisters and three brothers.
