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-

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.
