C. T. SPRADLEY PASSES AFTER SHORT ILLNESS
Charles T. Spradley, 83, one of Pike County’s oldest and most
influential citizens, died today (Friday) at 1:30 p.m., after a short
illness.
More than two decades ago Mr. Spradley was chosen by his
fellow-citizens as Tax Assessor of Pike county and served the people with
distinction. After retiring from public office he moved to his farm at
Hepzibah where he lived for a long number of years until the Grim Reaper
took his life’s companion. After that he alternately made his home with
his daughter in Troy, Mrs. Cleve Youngblood and his daughter in Hartford,
Mrs. Adolphus Chaney.
Surviving are one son, Ray R. Spradley; two daughters, Mrs. Cleve
Youngblood, of Troy; Mrs. Adolphus Chaney, of Hartford. He is also
survived by nine grandchildren and several great-grandchildren, and many
other relatives.
Funeral will be held Saturday at 2:30 p.m. from the home of his
daughter, Mrs. Cleve Youngblood, with his pastor, Dr. Claude T. Ammerman,
officiating. Burial will be in Oakwood cemetery with McGehee Funeral Home
in charge.
On 24 May 2001 Stina Brogden Spradley, the wife of Rush Ray Spradley told
me, Ron Bridges, via phone that she remember Charles Spradley driving
around town in his Model T Ford. She said she could always tell when he
was driving up.
On 27 Mar 2003 I visited Good Hope Baptist Church Cemetery in Pike Co.,
AL. I noticed a new stone laid down for John Frank Spradley. Dates: 1899
- 1900. I do not know whose enfant this was. However, I do known that
Charles and Ida Lizzie lived near there at one time. Ida family lived
near there also. Researched by Ron Bridges on 27 Mar 2003.
