Charles R. Armistead Dies After Long Illness
Charles Roland Armistead died at his home last Friday morning after being confined to his bed for over 23 years. He was the son of the late Roland and Laura Armistead of Susan. He was 47 years of age.
He volunteered for service in World War I and was stationed around Cape Henry and Norfolk. Finally, his health began to fail and he received both an honorable and disabled discharge from all military service.
But trying so hard to keep from giving up, he took a position with the N. Y. P. & N. railway which he was unable to hold due to his health. He went to Blue Ridge Sanitorium, where he spent nine months after which he came home where he has remained for the past twenty-three years, confined to his bed.
With all his suffering, he was never known to murmer or complain. He would always say: "It could be worse for I do not suffer any pain." He was always ready to help others when he could.
Funeral services were held at St. Paul's Methodist church Sunday, November 22, conducted by Rev. W. S. Grant, assisted by Rev. J. H. Norton. A host of friends and relatives paid their last respects.
Pallbearers were: W. G. Ripley, J. E. Ripley, J. A. Ripley, W. J. Ripley, W. C. Ripley, Wilson Thomas, Glen Armistead and Elmer Armistead. Honorary were: Wilson Hutchinson, C. C. Hudgins, Guy Ripley, William Ripley, Robert Ripley, John Brownley, Dennis Hudgins, Arthur Armistead.
There were five sisters and three brothers to mourn their loss: Mrs. Carol Hudgins, Susan; Mrs. C. E. Diggs, Susan; Mrs. J. D. Harris, Norfolk; Mrs. Ellis Respess, Foster; and Mrs. I. W. Diggs, Gwynn; D. G. Armistead, Susan; John Armistead, Redart; and Willard Armistead, Dutton.
During the service, Mr. H. K. Taylor and daughter, sang, also Miss Clara Green and Mr. Johnnie Williams. There were many beautiful floral tributes.
The American legion held services at the grave.
