Squad.
Mabel Childrey Johnson
was a friend to all she met and a friend of mine. Her death last Thursday
saddened all of us here at the Gazette and her many, many friends thoughout
Southside Virginia.
No one was a stranger to
Mabel. She treated all that she met with kindness and always had a bright smile
and a kind word for everyone.
She was the type of
person that you seldom meet more than once in a lifetime...and you feel that
your life is richer for having known her.
We all love our children
and family, but I don't believe I have ever seen or known anyone with the
abundance of love that she carried in her heart for her family...and her
friends.
I know that all of
Mabel's friends join me in extending sympathy to her family.

Submitters Name: Bea. Adams King
REV.
DR. L. B. JOHNSTON
The
many friends of Dr. Johnston will be anxious to know more than has been
published about the circumstances and causes of his unexpected death.
The first attack, awakening apprehensions of approaching paralysis took
place
on Easter Sunday, in the pulpit at South Boston, necessitating his
being taken
home to the adjoining parsonage. But he speedily rallied, and so
thoroughly
that on the 9th of April he went to Presbytery at Keysville. The
writer, who
was a fellow lodger with him there, had heard nothing of the incident
above
mentioned, and saw nothing in him that aroused any suspicion that he
was not in
perfect health. He took his usual active part in the business of the
Presbytery, and a letter
from him a few days afterwards was most cheerful in tone touching his
health;
saying, however, that as soon as the adjourned meeting of Presbytery,
that was
to be held on the 10th of May at So. Boston, was over, he would take a
vacation.
But before that time arrived, two other, slighter attacks alarmed his
home
physician, and led to his speedy removal to the hospital in Richmond.
The
doctors there enjoined cessation from work, and he at once resigned his
charge
at Black Walnut, reserving action in regard to So. Boston until his
return
home. He was improving apparently somewhat at the time, but soon had a
paralytic stroke. He again seemed to rally somewhat, but other
unfavorable
symptoms supervening, he gradually failed, till on the 8th of June he
"fell on sleep." His body was brought to South Boston for interment,
where simple but very impressive burial services were conducted by Dr.
Laird,
of Danville, on Sunday afternoon, June 9th. A good and valuable man
rests from his abundant labors. His Presbytery will
greatly miss him. He was always present at our meetings and an active
influential member. He was warm hearted and sympathetic. The writer was
warmly
attached to him. He was in his 59th year; Mrs. Johnston died some years
ago. He
leaves three grown sons in prosperous business.

Rejoice with the family and friends of Nathalie Averett
Jones as they announce her earthly death on June 21, 2015. After 17 years of
patiently waiting, Nathalie Averett Jones has rejoined her beloved husband
Robert Hoyt Jones. The couple currently resides in heaven. In spite of the
delay in joining "the Chief" Mrs. J. retained her sweet disposition
and was a blessing to all who knew her. Nathalie's life speaks for itself. She
was the epitome of a Christian woman, a loving wife and mother. Proverbs 31
could have been written about her. She was born July 27, 1925 in Flat Creek,
Alabama, cherished middle daughter of Clara Austin Mastin and Edward Boyle
Averett and sister of Clara Austin Averett Robeson(Ed Robeson III) of Filbert,
SC; Edward Boyle Averett, Jr.(Charlotte) of Chattanooga, TN.) and Mary Lee
Averett Powell(Ben) of Chickamauga, GA. There are intangible gifts a mother can
give her children. Mrs J. gave them all. The first is to give them faith. The
second is to love their father. A third is teaching them what is right but
loving and supporting them when they are wrong. Another is choosing to love the
partners her children married. From the time she was a child Mrs. J. said she
wanted 8 children. After giving birth to four children, this plan was
redesigned. Mrs. J. still achieved her goal by treating her first four children's
spouses as her own. They are Shelby and Gary Walker(of Charlotte Court House),
Dempsey and Maria Jones(of Farmville), Averett and Susan Jones(of Keysville) ,
and Bert and Bambi Jones(of Glen Allen). Grandchildren: Lindsay S. W.
Webb(Mark), Alexis M. W. Brown(Alex), Reid A. Walker, Edgar D. Jones(Erin),
Thomas A. Jones, Evan M. Jones(Allison), Vadim V. Glinkin, Elizabeth B. Jones,
Lyle Mastin J. Leake(James), Harley E. B. Jones. Great-grand-children:
Bradford, Couper, Mattie, Harrison, Will, Tucker, Audrey, Jackson, Nate,
Graham, Alistair, Julian, Landon, Emrys. Dear friends and caregivers: Pat T.
Holt, Inga Hines, Elise T. Marston, Carolyn Baldwin, Jean Lockett, Lisa T.
Traynham, and Nancy Allen. She graduated from Chattanooga High School in 1943,
from the University of Tennessee Knoxville in 1947 earning a Bachelor of
Science with a double major in Biology and Home Economics/Child Development. In
1984, she completed a Master of Science degree in Guidance and Counseling from
Longwood College. She spent her early years of marriage as a housewife rearing
children and being supportive of her husband as he was repeatedly transferred
with his job. Hoyt went to work for Burlington Industries in 1952 and worked
there for 20 years in North Carolina and Virginia, moving 12 times in 15 years.
She was the biblical standard of "Whither thou goest I will go." as
she followed her beloved Hoyt to almost every town in North Carolina with a
Burlington Mill. Nat made a home in each new place, flexible and imaginative, meeting
needs and serving through Sunday School, women's circles, Bible studies,
Brownies, Girl Scouts, Cub Scouts, and camping. She maintained discipline with
a mixture of love and a flyswatter. However her "spankings" literally
would not have hurt a fly. The fact that she was disappointed was the
punishment. She wove all things together and wrapped them in joy. People loved
to gather where she was and one dear niece called her "Aunt Fun". In
1964, the Joneses moved to Keysville, Virginia. After her youngest son started
school Mrs. J. dusted off her teaching certificate and taught Biology at
Randolph-Henry for many years. Although she was an excellent teacher, all of
her students knew her weakness. They could get her off subject by asking her
about her faith. She taught science but saw no conflict with God creating
science. Her faith could not be shaken and in spite of this her students
learned biology also. She established the Youth For Christ club which
influenced hundreds of students. She was transferred to Central Middle School
where she served as an Earth Science teacher and guidance counselor. In 1970,
Hoyt retired from Burlington and opened a Western Auto store in Farmville
Virginia where he, Nat and various configurations of the children worked until
he retired in 1989 and Dempsey took over. One of Nat's ventures at Western Auto
was "The Mustard Seed"-a Christian bookstore. She retired from
teaching in June of1990 with 25 years of service in Charlotte County. She was a
lifelong member of the Presbyterian Church, most recently the Briery
congregation and supported every organization in which her children were
involved. In addition to her plan for eight children Mrs. J planned on living
on a 100 acre farm named Green Pastures from the 23rd Psalm. In God's perfect
plan she ended up on a 14 acre farm she named Still Waters also from the Psalm.
It was at Still Waters that she completed rearing her children and where her
beloved husband died. Although she earned a teaching certificate in college,
Nat never planned to teach. Her first job after graduation, when she needed to
be in Chattanooga due to her mother's heart condition, was teaching. She found
that she loved teaching and taught in different ways for the rest of her life.
She taught in high school, middle school, pre-school, Sunday School, Bible
studies, Girl and Cub Scouts, vacation Bible school, small groups, as a
guidance counselor, through Pilgrimage talks, cluster programs, English as a
second language, and as a newspaper columnist. She taught by her words, her
actions, her choices and her love. As her health declined, she taught Scripture
and family history to the ladies who helped her. In the old Southern tradition
Mrs. J. fed anyone who happened to be around at mealtimes and offered
hospitality to any in need. She was always willing to adjust her life for the
benefit of those who needed her. Her life was marked by joy and generosity,
even in the hardest times. She loved and served her God, her husband, her
children, her grandchildren, all of her extended family, her church, her
community and the strangers that she met. Her heart was always willing to serve
in whatever came to her hand and she always shared. Although dementia dimmed
her mind, her gracious love was still evident. "What can I do to help you?"
was her question even as she came to need more and more help herself. She
leaves a "Nat" shaped hole in our lives, but we greatly rejoice in
her graduation to heaven and her reunion with all those she loved who have gone
before. . Nathalie, Mrs. J, Nat, Grandmother, Great-mama, Aunt Nat will be
missed by many but her legacy will live forever in those who loved her.

IN
MEMORIAM
Keysville, Va., May 27th, 1907
Mr. Phil. C. Jones passed away at his home yesterday, May 26th, after a
short illness. His remains were deposited in the Keysville Cemetery, on
27th,
at 3 p.m. Mr. Jones was a native of Dinwiddie county Va. He married
Miss Pamella J.
Hines, of Prince Edward county, who with two children, Alice and
Leander
survive him to mourn their loss. The deceased became a resident of
Charlotte county about 65 years ago, and has
since lived the quiet, industrious and useful life of a farmer, near
Keysville.
For more than 50 years he was a consistent and useful member of the Ash
Camp
Baptist church. He lived to the good old age of 87 years, and while his
latter
days were those of physical weakness, yet his hope in Christ was
strong, and
died in the "triumph of the faith."
"Blessed are the dead, who die in the Lord, from henceforth; yea, saith
the Spirit, that they rest from their labors." To the members of the
bereaved family we extend our hearty sympathy.
Yours, Very Truly,
E.H. Powell
We
join most fully with Bro. Powell
in expression of sympathy for the family of our aged deceased brother,
with
whom we had known many years since. He was a man of few words, but his
life was
an illustration of christian faith; his religion was that of the heart,
and not
merely of the lips.
