The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.

No More Sunday or Holiday Funerals in Wilmington
From the October 15, 2013, Wilmington (NC) Star-News "Back Then."
From the Oct. 1, 1943, advertisement in the newspaper: "Because of the limitations placed on delivery services, manpower shortages and the need for conserving equipment and gasoline, we, the cooperating undersigned florists and funeral directors, are forced to curtail some of the services rendered in the past.
Therefore it is our belief and decision to meet this problem by discontinuance of funerals on Sundays and legal holidays.
Signed: Lucy B. Moore, florist; Will Rehder, florist; Lena F. Westbrook, florist; Dorothy Owen, florist; Andrews Mortuary; Yopp Funeral Home; Harrell's Funeral Home."
