DAVID C. AREY
David C. Aery, residing in White Post township, and northeast of this place, was found dead in a feed lot north of his residence Sunday evening at ten o'clock. Mr. Aery had not always possessed good health, yet his sudden death came unexpectedly. About eight o'clock as the rest of the family were preparing to retire, he left the house to look after some stock - a usual custom of his and it is supposed that as he entered the feed lot he was stricken with heart trouble, and died instantly. No marks of violence or struggle indicating that he came to his death in any other way. His long absence from the house caused his wife to make a search for him thinking that he had probably been injured in a manner that he could not return. A short search of the premises proved futile at first, and she walked to the home of a neighbor who returned with her, another search was made. this time the lifeless body was found. Deceased was a native of Rawley Springs, Virginia, and was over 50 years of age. The funeral took place from the Pleasant Ridge church Wednesday at one o'clock, interment being made in the Koster cemetery. He leaves five daughters to mourn his loss.

Arey, well-known in this county, was found dead in the field near his home, a couple of miles from Rawley Springs, in Rockingham county. The commonwealth says: "The cause of death was doubtless heart disease from which he had been a suffer for many years. In the morning of Thursday he mounted his horse and rode away on business, and not returning at noon his absence was not especially noticed, as he was frequently away all day. His sons, upon returning to their work after dinner, noticed his horse inane adjoining field, with saddle on and immediately went to see what it meant, when they discovered the lifeless body of Mr. Arey, who had probably been dead some hours. He was 55 years of age, and a clever, genial gentleman."

JACOB AREY
Sad Case of Accidental Shooting
Jacob Arey, aged about 21 years, son of George Arey living on the road leading to Rawley Springs 10 1/2 miles from Harrisonburg, was accidentally shot and killed 3 miles from his home, on Sunday afternoon last, about 1 o'clock. He was out hunting deer, on the top of what is known in that locality as "Dixon's Ridge," on the "second mountain," and a young man named Guyer, when the accident occurred, his brother and Guyer being near or at the same "stand" with him. He was standing with the butt of his gun (a double-barreled shot-gun charged with buckshot.) resting on a rock, leaning over, and both hands crossed upon it muzzle. Whilst in this position the gun slipped off the rock, both barrels, tearing off his righthand, lacerating the left, four shot-passing into the region of the lungs, and two into his head, producting death in about two hours, his death occurring on the mountain before he could reach home. He spoke but little after being shot, simply calling for water. Mr. Arey was a single man, and had assisted his father in carrying the U.S. mail between Harrisonburg and Pendleton county, West Va. His father's family share the sympathies of the neighborhood in this sudden and melancholy bereavement.

She was the 3rd child of Russell and Myrtle Arthur of Leon, Oklahoma. Her early years were spent on the family farm. She worked and played alongside all of her brothers and sisters and had many fond memories of her siblings. Ouilda attended school at Leon where she met her future husband, Garnet Petty. She and Garnet were married in Marietta on July 1, 1931. She often mentioned how she married the most handsome boy in Leon. Their marriage was blessed with four children, Media June, Garnet Wallace (Buddy), Norma Jean, and Brenda Jane. Ouilda and Garnet lived in Leon where they grew peanuts, cotton, and corn. She also found time to raise hogs and chickens. She was known around the county as an excellent seamstress. Ouilda designed and made baby clothes that she sold during The Depression. Her baby clothes were ordered by people from all parts the country. Her life was turned upside down on September 9, 1956 when her husband, Garnet, unexpectedly died at the age of 44. She sold their home in Leon and moved with her youngest daughter to Topeka, Kansas. Ouilda then began her career as a florist at Stanley’s Flowers. She worked as a florist for 42 years in Topeka, Tulsa, Marietta and Ardmore. She designed flowers for Harry Truman, Gerald Ford, and several Kansas governors. Ouilda married John Norman Green on July 20, 1968 in Topeka, Kansas. John was a minister with the Methodist Church, recently assigned to a church in Robinson, Kansas. While in Robinson, John taught her how to drive. This began her love for cars. Tragically, their life together was short lived as he died just two years later on August 8, 1970. She spent the last 44 years of her life in Carter and Love Counties. She loved to work in her yard, design flowers, and make quilts. Her favorite pastimes were watching NASCAR and the Texas Rangers. In 2000, Ouilda moved to Ardmore. The last few years of her life were her happiest as she was able to live with her family. She loved being around family and loved getting to spend time with her great-great grandchildren. Ouilda was a woman of great faith and she set an example for her family. She loved reading her bible and in her earlier years taught Sunday school. At the time of her death, she attended Victory Life Church Ardmore.

Wilda Knighting Billhimer, 89, of Elkton, Va., took her journey home to be with Jesus on Sunday, July 12, 2020. She was the last surviving member of her immediate family. Wilda was born Oct. 15, 1930, in Elkton, Va., to Andrew "Jason" and Ellie Rae Knighting (Knighton). On July 30, 1949, she was united in marriage with the love of her life, George Edward Billhimer of Keezletown, a marriage that lasted 70 wonderful years. George and Wilda's union was blessed with five children: Sharon Billhimer Stover (passed away in 1996), Edward Lee "Casey" Billhimer (wife, Kathy) of McGaheysville, Rev. David Warren Billhimer (passed away in 2000), Wilma Billhimer Shifflett (husband, Rodger) and Ruth Billhimer Bak (husband, Mikkle) of Elkton. In addition to her children and their spouses, Wilda is survived by daughter-in-law, Tammy Billhimer of Gloucester; grandchildren, Scott Stover, Stacy Stover DaMatha (husband, Kobi), Nancy Billhimer Hurte, Brooke Billhimer, and great-grandchildren, Leila Billhimer, Reuel Hurte, Eldon Hurte and Uriah Hurte. Wilda was predeceased by her husband, George, on Oct. 3, 2019; her sister, Aileen Knighten, and brothers, Marshall Knighting and Calvin Knighting. Also, brother and sister, Roger Wildwood Knighton and Irene Sharon Knighton, who died in their youth. Wilda graduated from Keezletown High School as Valedictorian of her class in 1949 prior to her marriage with George. In September of 1949, they settled in Elkton where George established Blue Ridge Radio & TV, a business that served the community for over 65 years. She was raised as a member of Mt. Pleasant Church of the Brethren but transferred to Massanutten Presbyterian Church after her marriage. Since 1984, she and George attended Elkton Presbyterian Church in Elkton until experiencing failing health. Wilda was a former member of the Elkton VFW Ladies Auxiliary, Elkton Coterie Club and a morning coffee group at McDonald's with her friends. Was known far and wide for her cake baking skills, having baked and decorated cakes for weddings, birthdays and many other occasions. In 1975, Wilda gave her life to the Lord and carried out God's work the entire rest of her life. She was often referred to as a "Prayer Warrior" always thinking of others first. Wilda's faith and positive attitude were an inspiration to everyone that knew her, especially her family. Her family meant the world to her and she was constantly praying for their safety and well-being. Since her husband's death, she often spoke of how blessed her life had been and how she looked forward to being with Jesus and rejoining George in heaven. Her dream has now been realized. One of Wilda's favorite Bible passages was John 14: 1-4, which she read frequently. The family would like to thank all of the in-home caregivers that assisted Wilda over the past three months and the teams from Sentara RMH Home Health and Sentara Hospice Care as well as Meals on Wheels provided by E.A.U.S. The family asks that memorial contributions be sent to Elkton Area United Services, P.O. Box 383, Elkton, VA 22827 or Sentara Hospice Services/Sentara RMH Foundation, 2010 Health Campus Drive, Harrisonburg, VA 22801.

The Killeen Daily Herald, Killeen, TX, Jul 2010

Buck Buchanan was born July 24, 1921 in Duke Center, Pa. and died July 1, 2010 in Temple, Texas at the age of 88. Buck proudly served his country in the United States Marine Corps and in the United States Army in World War II, Korea and Vietnam. He retired after 27 years of active service with the rank of Command Sergeant Major, the highest enlisted rank in the Army. His many decorations include the Air Medal with three Oak Leaf Clusters, the Army Commendation Medal with three Oak Leaf Clusters, the Purple Heart with two Oak Leaf Clusters and the Bronze Star with two Oak Leaf Clusters. After retirement he served as Mayor of Nolanville, Texas for several years and was active in the community, including membership in the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Disabled American Veterans, American Legion, Purple Heart Association, Elk Lodge, Moose Lodge, Masonic Lodge and the Karem Temple Shriners. Funeral services were held on July 5, 2010 at Crawford-Bowers Funeral Home in Killeen, Texas. Present were the Patriot Guard Riders who formed a line of American flags at the entrance of the funeral home to welcome the arriving family and friends. The Riders then led the funeral procession to the Central Texas State Veterans Cemetery at Killeen, for interment with full military honors. Lining the street at the committal shelter were fifty American flags blowing in the bright summer sun. The Riders formed a line of flags around the committal shelter as final prayers were said and military honors were rendered by the Army Honor Guard. A rifle detail fired three rounds of fire representing Duty, Honor and Country. The Army bugler played taps, and the flag which had draped the casket was folded into a tight triangle and presented to Buck's wife, Peggy, on behalf of a grateful country and the United States Army. Command Sgt. Major Buchanan was then laid to rest on the gentle slope of the cemetery overlooking the beautiful Texas hill country as the American flag flew at half-staff on the hill above. Left to cherish his memory are his wife, two daughters, three sons, five grandchildren, two great-grandsons and numerous other dearly beloved family and friends. Buck lived life like it ought to be lived, and he touched many hearts. With thanks to the Killeen Daily Herald for biographical information.

MELVIN WILSON CREECH

Melvin Wilson Creech, 84, of Castle Hayne, NC, died at 4:00 a.m. on Friday, February 16, 2018, in his home, surrounded by loving family. Melvin was born May 11, 1933, in Johnston County, NC, son of the late William Vester Creech and Katie Jackson Creech. His daughter, Vicki Creech Williams, grandson, Justin Alexander Creech, two brothers, and two sisters preceded him in death. Melvin was the second youngest of six children raised in rural North Carolina. His father was a tenant tobacco farmer and relied on his children to help on the farm. Melvin met his wife, Lavonda, in a church service in Norfolk, VA, where his brother attended. Melvin and Lavonda were married on September 1, 1954. He entered the army soon after and was shipped to Germany, fortunately during peace time. During his absence, his first child Steve was born. (Steve said): While Steve was a "handful" as a growing teenager, he turned out to be a handsome young man loved by all. Melvin also had two daughters. (Rita wrote): Melvin and Lavonda raised three children, Steve, Rita, and Vicki. Of the many important values they instilled in their children, possessing a true and deep love for God and living by faith was the most important of all. Melvin and Lavonda taught that by example. Their faithfulness to God and His Church has been the guiding force throughout their lives. As you can see, Melvin's sense of humor lives on in his children. Melvin began his post-army career working as a local truck driver. He quickly advanced to sales, followed by a management position, and was transferred from Norfolk, VA, to Rocky Mount, NC, in 1961, to manage a terminal for Pilot Freight Carriers. He held several management positions over his career, taking him to Rocky Mount, then to Wilmington, NC, Greenville, SC, Chesapeake, VA, and finally back to Wilmington to eventually retire. Melvin and Lavonda met in church and their entire lives together were centered around their ministries in The Church of God, formerly The Church of God of Prophecy. Melvin served in many positions in the Church from Sunday School Superintendent to Deacon. He and Lavonda also volunteered in their retirement years to help in the kitchen at many state and worldwide church camps and conventions. Both of their lives have been devoted to serving God through serving others, traveling to Belize, Mexico, Honduras, and other locations for mission work. Melvin enjoyed fishing --- whether by boat, pole fishing, or even using a net or a gig. He loved the outdoors and spent long hours in his garden, breaking soil with the tractor (and who doesn't enjoy driving a tractor!) and working with a hoe. He blessed his family and friends with many fruits and vegetables over the years. Melvin also enjoyed singing and for years led congregational singing and sang solos in church. Some of his favorite songs were the love songs he would sing to Lavonda, such as "Let it Be Me." Melvin and Lavonda loved to travel together, and have visited many states and countries over the years. Melvin is survived by his loving wife of 63 years, Lavonda Ruth Shiflett; devoted son, Steve Wilson Creech (Karen) of Richmond, VA; loving daughter, Dr. Rita Creech Haire (Darrell) of Thomasville, NC; devoted son-in-law, James Steele Williams, III, of Castle Hayne, NC; eleven dear grandchildren; seven precious great-grandchildren; his last surviving sibling, sister, Katherine Creech Clark (John) of Raleigh, NC; and numerous nieces and nephews. The family will receive friends from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Monday, February 19, 2018, at Andrews Market Street Chapel. A funeral service will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday, February 20, 2018, at The Church of God, 246 Middle Sound Loop Road (Ogden area), with Pastor Bill O'Dell officiating. A private graveside service will be held by the family.

LETHA M. CRICKENBERGER
Letha M. Crickenberger, 95, who was owner of Money & King Funeral Home, one of the last remaining independent family-run firms in the Washington area, died of congestive heart failure April 22 at Northern Virginia Community Hospital in Arlington. Mrs. Crickenberger was an 80-year-old retired beautician when she inherited the Vienna funeral home from her sister, Edith King, when she died in 1986. The funeral home, which was established in 1881, has been at Maple Avenue and Lawyers Road in Vienna since 1948. Mrs. Crickenberger's husband, DeWitt, familiarized her with the business during the 30 years he managed the funeral home, until his retirement in 1980. He died three years later. She had no other hands-on business knowledge when she became the corporation's major stockholder and president. Still, she oversaw the day-to-day operations and blocked attempts by larger corporations to buy the small family-owned enterprise, a growing trend in the mortuary industry. "Most people would have sold the place and gone traveling," said her nephew Peter Vance Treibley, who is also vice president of Money and King. "But she was determined to make it run no matter what, and to keep it independent and family-owned." Until her health began to fail about six months ago, she maintained a rigorous work schedule that included a block-and-half walk from her home to the offices of Money & King seven days a week for eight-hour days, Treibley said. With her background as a beautician, she helped prepare the bodies for viewings by applying makeup and coiffures. She also served as a greeter, receiving family and friends at the 400 to 500 funerals Money & King conducts a year. She was a native of Wilkes-Barre, Pa. As a young woman, she sang in Vaudeville stage productions in Pennsylvania. She settled in the Washington area during World War II and worked 20 years for Vienna Beauty Shop. She was a member of Oakton Church of the Brethren and the Order of the Eastern Star. She leaves no immediate survivors.

JERRY RALPH CURRY
September 7, 1932 - May 23, 2020

Major General Jerry Ralph Curry, U.S. Army Retired; B.A., M.A., D. Min. passed peacefully at home at the age of 87. General Curry had several careers. After graduating high school he went to work as an arc welder in the Pittsburgh Steel Foundry, then enlisted in the U.S. Army as a Private at the end of the Korean War. This led to a 34-year military career, in which he worked his way up through the ranks of the infantry, retiring as a Major General. General Curry was a decorated combat veteran, Army Aviator, Paratrooper, and Ranger who served his country both in the military and as a Presidential political appointee. He had numerous honors and decorations (including a Combat Infantryman's Badge) and a strong background in federal regulatory matters, foreign affairs, national defense concerns, corporate planning and automotive safety. He was known for his forceful leadership skills and the ability to perform multiple tasks well under pressure. Most of Jerry's time in the military was spent in troop assignments in the United States, Germany, Korea and Vietnam. During his first tour in Vietnam, he flew reconnaissance planes and helicopters, worked in intelligence and commanded an airplane reconnaissance company. His second tour of duty was in the jungle as an Army Advisor embedded in a South Vietnamese Infantry Regiment. General Curry later commanded the U.S. Army Test and Evaluation Command (TECOM) headquartered at Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland. TECOM was responsible for performing Engineer Development Testing to determine whether Army equipment was safe to operate, defect free and in compliance with all of the Army's technical specifications – on all Army equipment—including jeeps, trucks of all types, self-propelled artillery, tanks, electronics, airplanes, helicopters and missiles. He served as the Military Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense during President Carter's Administration and was the Acting Press Secretary to the Secretary of Defense in President Reagan's Administration. He earned a bachelor's degree from the University of Nebraska Omaha; an M.A. in International Relations from Boston University; a D. Min. from Luther Rice Seminary; attended Harvard Kennedy School and was Chairman of the Board of Regents at Oxford Graduate School. Following his retirement from the Army, General Curry became President and Publisher of a public policy "think tank" and was later a corporate Vice President for Program Development of a computer systems integration company. He served on the Board of Directors of the Greater Washington D.C. Board of Trade, the USO, the American Red Cross, was a Trustee of the Federal City Council, and was an ex-officio member of the National Research Council's Executive Committee, Transportation Research Board. In 1982, he was named "Washingtonian of the Year" and was a Distinguished Alumnus of the University of Nebraska and Boston University. He was a member of the Association for the Advancement of Automotive Medicine; the society of Automotive Engineers; Delta Phi Alpha, the National Honorary German Society; Phi Alpha Theta, the International Honor Society in History; the National Eagle Scout Association; was decorated by Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands with the Order of Orange-Nassau; was a recipient of the United States Secret Service Honor Award; and was a Fellow in the Oxford Society of Scholars. General Curry stood as a candidate for the U.S. Congress (1988) in southeastern Virginia, and later for President (2008). He spent three years as Administrator of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) during President H.W. Bush's Administration. Otherwise, he spent his time writing and working as a consultant to the automotive industry. Before the Korean War, General Curry seriously considered a career as a dramatic operatic baritone and over the years he performed with several choral groups in Europe, the United States, the Far East, and Brazil. His CDs Generally Singing and Live at Strathmore Mansion were well received, as were his books, From Private to General, an African American Rises Through the Ranks and The Dream Continues. General Curry and his beloved wife of 57 years, Charlene Curry, lived on the southern slope of Bull Run Mountain in Northern Virginia overlooking the Civil War Battlefield. He was preceded in death by Charlene, their infant son Gregory, his parents Jesse and Rev. Mercer Curry, and his siblings Marjorie Perdue, Jesse Curry, Roseanna Dugger and Robert Curry. He is survived by four children, Charlein Vantramp (Roland), Jerry Curry (Michelle), Toni Burton (Mike) and Natasha Curry Kurfees (John), as well as his brother David Curry, eight grandchildren, seven great-grandchildren, extended family and many dear friends. General Jerry Curry will rest in peace alongside Charlene and Gregory at Arlington National Cemetery, where he was a former Commanding General of the Military District of Washington. Due to uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 Pandemic, further information is limited.

RUTH RINEARSON CURTIS
The Herald Tribune from Apr. 6 to Apr. 7, 2017

June 15, 1921 - April 3, 2017
Ruth Rinearson Curtis, age 95, was born in June of 1921, in Sweetwater, Tennessee, to parents Katherine Lee Shiflett and William Clements Rinearson. She was predeceased by three siblings, sister Katherine Rinearson, and two brothers, William and Robert Rinearson. The family relocated to Knoxville, Tennessee, and Ruth spent much of her young life in the area alongside her family. As a young woman, Ruth enjoyed tennis, social gatherings, and the company of her close and extended family. She wed Edward Grant Curtis, a former navy and RAF pilot in the second World War, and Ruth gave birth to four children, Katherine Curtis Guimares, Nancy Curtis Brostek, Logan Edward Curtis, and Warren Crandall Curtis. The family moved often as a result of her husband, Ed's career. Aside from raising children, Ruth enjoyed gardening, reading, travel, housekeeping, and the company of her 37 grandchildren, great, and great great grandchildren. The couple would eventually settle in the Englewood, Florida area. They purchased a lovely home on the water, and created a hub for family to gather and many chose to live in the area as well. The family were boat enthusiasts and spent many hours in the great outdoors. After her husband's death in 1994, Ruth remained in the family home and created a magical landscape for her enjoyment and to spoil the grandchildren. She was an active member of the Lemon Bay Garden Club, and her home was featured on tour and in local publications. Ruth and the family would spend the summers on Martha's Vineyard, and travel both domestically and to Europe and the Caribbean. When not traveling, Ruth would revel in arms full of roses from her impressive rose garden. She enjoyed reading the New York Times, in the outdoor living room just outside her home, to the sounds of Frank Sinatra and Neil Diamond. Family and guests would arrive and depart, day and night at her residence. Grandchildren aside, Ruth's favorite treats were ice cream and Chardonnay, and the beautiful sunsets over Gottfried Creek just behind her property. An informal memorial gathering will be held at her home, "Pine Oaks", at 220 South Oxford Drive in Englewood on Saturday, April 8 from 1 to 4 pm. I lieu of flowers, the family has requested that donations be made to the Lemon Bay Garden Club in her memory. Lemon Bay Garden Club, 480 Yale St., Englewood, FL 34223, 941-474-9068.
