PAGE 8—The Newberry Sun, Newberry, S. C., Thursday, Jan. 20, 1972 Tribute paid Berlet Shealy By Dewey Kinard The West End Community and Newberry County were deeply grieved at the recent passing of the late Mr. Berley C. Shealy on Tuesday night, Jan. 11th at the Jesse Frank Hawkins Nursing Home. Mr. Shealy was bom in Lexington County and moved to Newberry city and county wi/'e a young nvn. He married the former Miss Alice Hiller and they reared a won derful family that at his pass ing was four sons, one daugh ter, nine grandchildren and thir teen great-grandchildren. Mr. Shealy had many wonderful cha racteristics which made him an outstanding citizen that never shirked his responsibilities. He could be classed with those that helped build the West End Com munity. He went to work in the Newberry Cotton Mill as a young man and I had the oppor tunity of learning to know him when he was working in what was then known as number one weaving basement. He worked for many years on the old hand threading shuttle which was known as load and shoot. He later worked for many years on automatic looms. His life was typical of one whose heart had the ready love and the deep love for his home, the school, the church and com munity. Mr. Shealy lived during the time of long hours of work with short pay. Then he faced with many others the great de pression. During those days Mr. Shealy with the help of his four boys did extra work by having a garden and patches of cot- ■ ryw ■■■■'■■■■I HUB rvl WH* MM V SMOPPfNi; ( f M f H H v *> WO ton. One of this greatest plea sures was the Shealy Quartett, which was made up of three of his sons and himself. They went about to various churches over the city and county signing just for the pleasure of it. He had great responsibility during World War II by serving on the Government Board for Rationing of Gasoline and auto mobile tires. Along with this I served with him and others on every one of the special drives for the U.S.O., Red Cross and the Recreational Building on the Newberry College campus for the Navy boys in training there. His other outstanding ability was an outstanding cook espe cially cooking pork barbecues. He helped feed many thou sands of people because of this service. He also taught this to some of his sons. In every special drive for money during the war not once did the community of West End fail to go over the top. On the very last drive for $50,000.00 for the Newberry County Memorial Hospital he was so very proud when West End went $500.00 over the top. His work later in life was being the Jailor for then sheriff Tom Fellers later he served as bailiff for the Newberry County Court of General Sessions. His integrity, steadfastness, loyalty, and Christian ideals will stand as a living heritage to all in his family. He and Mrs. Shealy had a wonderful and long life together having lived together for 64 years of happy wedded life. Somewhere, somehow the good that men do lives after them, touching others with a memory that inspires better liv ing. In my humble opinion, the West End Community, the City of Newberry and our great coun try is much the better because a Christian man by the name of Berley C. Shealy once lived in it.
