Report of Committee of Memoirs
We, your committee of memoirs, sympathetically submit our report. It is written, "Precious in sight of the Lord is the death of his saints"
During the past year God called from among us J. Vann Kent, who was a well loved member of the Tarboro P.H.Y.S. At the time of his death he was serving in the Armed forces of our country in Korea. Although he is missed greatly by the Tarboro P.H.Y.S. and all that knew him, we the N.C.P.H.Y.S. convention members bow in humble submission to the will of God in calling him home. We hereby extend our sympathy to his wife , Mrs. Kent and to all his relatives.
Respectfully submitted: Rev. Donner Lee, Fred Cross, Larraine Mozingo, Gailya Williams, Howard Branch, Billy Register |
