Mrs. William A. Haswell
Youngsville. Mrs. William A. Haswell, 72, died Tuesday at her home outside of Youngsville. Funeral services will be held at the Good Hope church Wednesday afternoon at 2:30.
Surviving are three daughters: Mrs. W. A. Ray, Wake Forest, Mrs. W. R. Pleasants, and Mrs. J. L. Pleasants, both of Youngsville; four sisters: Mrs. J. B. Wilson, Durham; Mrs. J. D. Pleasants and Mrs. Sid Davis, both of Youngsville, Mrs. H. S. Powell, Neuse; and thirteen grandchildren.
When I was about 10 years old, my father and I sat at the kitchen table and drew a family chart with a chewed and nubby old #2 pencil and a sheet of notebook paper. I still have that paper, yellowed and creased. It was the start of a life long hobby and one of the greatest gifts my father gave me. I study the Allen family of Wake County, NC, the Davis family of Granville County, NC, the Stancil and Johnson families of Johnston County, NC and all their collateral lines.
