Dr. Robert Brent Drane, dean of Episcopal ministers in this part of North Carolina, and honored last Monday afternoon by an elaborate pageant at Old St. Paul’s Church in Edenton, in celebration of the 50th anniversary of his rectorship there, is seriously ill in a Norfolk hospital.
The day after the celebration at his own church, Dr. Drane attended a similar event at Bath, oldest town in the State. While on the trip, the rector contracted a cold, which at first was regarded as not particularly serious, but which grew steadily worse, until on Sunday night he was taken to Norfolk for hospital treatment. Pneumonia is feared.
At Dr. Drane’s bedside are his three daughters, Mrs. Cheshire Webb of Hillsboro, Mrs. Bennett Perry of Henderson, and Miss Marian Drane of Edenton.
