The following will act as pall bearers: Messrs. Edger H. Bain, Albert Arment, Z.M.L. Jeffreys, John Slaughter, F.M. Irwin, J.H. Hill.
From page 5 of the Goldsboro News, Tuesday morning, April 6, 1926
Was the name of the church spelled St. Pauls or St. Paul’s in 1926? It’s spelled both ways in the article. I’ve never seen “Rd.” used as an abbreviation for a name when a person goes my initials instead of given names. Rd. could be correct or it could be a typo. I don’t know.
