MRS. UESTIIR 4. TItEFIERNE DIES
~. SOUTHAMPTON COUNTY.

Trchcrncsville, Va, November IS.
The death OF Mrs. Hester \. IRE
hcrnc WAS Il shock to Northampton
County. she was busy all day
Wednesday, November 20, looking
after the business of her societies
and working up an entertainment to
be given by the Red Cross Chapter
on Thursday night, November 81.
That morning she was taken sudden
~ i'll with acute indigestion and by
twelve o'clock Thursday night had
given up all OF her works on this
side and gone up to report to her
Father in the great beyond.
The death OF Sister Trcherne has
not only caused blow to her hus-
band, Rev. l.. Trehcrne and relatives
but it is felt by both white and col
ored Of Eastern Shore. She was
known throughout the State as Il
lively worker and organizer of
S. M. in the Tents and was leader OF
Pilgrim Tent, No. 1877. She was a
member Of Treherne Council, No.
TAO, Independent Order st. Lulses
and was Degree Chief.
Other lodges to which she belonged
were: Lees Chapter, Eastern Star,
Sons and Daughters Of the Forest
and the Peewah Council, No. 3.
Recently she organized q st. Luke
Chapter and a Tent Chapter at Ebe-
neZer and a st. Luke and Juvenile
at Antioch, her husbands churches.
These churches have lost faith
full worker. She worked shoulder
to shoulder with her husband in his
church work. Sister Treherne was
ardent in her work for human uplift,
was highly complimented by the
white people for her activities in
Red Cross work. She worked until
she dropped. She had the spirit
and vim OF her father, the noted
Henry Hicks, Of Lunenburg County,
who served on tho jury in Lunenburg
Court House for many years.
The weight she bore in tho county
and the esteem in which she was
held were evidenced by attendance
at the funeral. Northampton Coun-
ty has never witnessed larger fun
eral than this Of Sister Treherne's,
which was held in Union Baptist
Church, Monday, November Is.

and l later confirmed it in conversa-
ton with the colored officers, that
there Is absolutely no discrimination

camp, either In barracks, mess or
other assignments.
He spoke most highly Of tho COL

at this camp, and said he was per
fectly willing to be quoted as saying
tho colored men under him were
splendid soldiers. He apparently
took great pride In telling Of how
quickly colored soldiers learned their
duties and how punctual and precise
they were in performing duties.

and fine treatment accorded colored
soldiers, entities him to be mentioned

There arc here, as at homo, some
