Honors Memory
Of Mrs. Creasy
The Cape Fear chapter, United
Daughters of the Confederacy, paid

following resolutions:
Our hearts are filled with
sadness in the passing of a
loyal and devoted daughter,
and we count it a privilege to
pay tribute here today to the
memory of Gertrude Bagly
Creasy.
As a member of the U.D.C.
she served in many capacities.
She was honored by the State
Division by being elected Re
cording Secretary, and by
Cape Fear Chapter as its Pres
ident; never did a member go
into office with greater zeal or
more love for her work.
In every phase of communi
ty work she gave of herself
generously; to her Church, her
home, and patriotic organiza
tions. Holding high offices in
all.
Because of ill health which
necessitated her removal of
residence from Wilmington she
was compelled to give up her
membership in many organiza
tions, but only death severed
her ties to the U.D.C. She
loved next to her family and
Church the work of the Con
federacy, and helped to make
the organization what it is to
day.
She was a loyal and devoted
friend. Her freedom from jeai
ousy and hate were marked
traits in her character, and her
outstanding attribute at all
times was her fairness. Her
loyalty to her friends was in
the nature of a Divine confi
dence. We are grateful that we
have known such association,
and that we were permitted
the privilege of working as
friends. For her devoted aid in
carrying out projects, her
counsel and advice so freely
given we are deeply grateful.
'To live in the hearts of
those we leave behind is not
to die."
