    • Raeford Liles Dies At Home In Tarboro
      Was One of Older Residents in the Community - Mrs. Mary Holmes Also Passes
      (Special to Daily News)
      Tarboro, Jan. 20. - Yesterday afternoon Raeford Liles passed away at his home in Tarboro in the 79th years of this age after an illness of several weeks. When he was confined to his bed it was thought that he might be able to recover, but for the past few days his condition grew worse and worse until the end finally came.
      The deceased is survived by three daughters and four sons: Mrs. Finch, of Middlesex; Miss Nanie and Meta Liles, of Tarboro; Frank Liles, of Kinston; J.F. Liles, of Tarboro; Paul Liles, of Birmingham, and Vance Liles of Tarboro.
      The funeral service was conducted at the home this afternoon at 3 o'clock by Rev. L.C. Larkin, pastor of St. James M.E. church, and the services at the grave were conducted by the Masons of Concord lodge. The interment was in Greenwood cemetery. He was one of the few Confederate veterans left in the county.
