Located at the top of the ridge near 5000 Bloomingdale Pike.  This cemetery was very difficult to locate and was overgrown with briars and weeds and had several fallen trees.  There was a plank fence surrounding it, but it was in a state of disrepair.

Mrs. Minerva Elizabeth Pectol, 71, member of one of Sullivan county’s most prominent families, died yesterday at 5 p.m. at her home in the Arcadia community.

Mrs. Pectol had been in declining health for several months, but she was believed to have improved considerably.  Her death from a heart attack was unexpected.

She was a member of Salem Methodist church and was one of the pioneers of this section having lived in Sullivan county practically her entire lifetime.

Funeral services will be conducted from the home tomorrow at 11 a.m. with Rev. Frank Y. Jackson of Greeneville, a lifelong friend of the family, officiating.  He will be assisted by Rev. W. H. McCorkle of Kingsport and Rev. Dan Graham of Blountville.  Interment will be in the family cemetery near the home.

Mrs. Pectol is survived by her husband, two sons, W. C. and J. B. Pectol Jr., both of Kingsport, four daughters, Miss Ruth Pectol of Arcadia, Mrs. Gertrude Faust, Mrs. A. W. Johnson and Miss Eliza Pectol, all of Kingsport, and one brother G. W. Pendleton of Dungannon, Va.

Pall bearers will be Joe Pecktal, George Earles, Henry Pendleton, Paris Pendleton, R. D. Pecktal, Lesley Newland, Joe Newland, John Myers, W. H. Murray, J. C. Keys and S. R. Morrell.

J. B. Pectol, Sr., 74, died at 3:15 o’clock this afternoon at the home of his son, W. C. Pectol, at 1014 Catawba street, after several months’ illness.

He was a native of Arcadia, Sullivan county, where he engaged in farming until poor health forced his retirement several years ago.  A pioneer resident of the community, Mr. Pectol was well known.  He served as superintendent of Salem Methodist Sunday school for 25 years and also was active in fraternal circles, being a member of the 100F.  He came to Kingsport last November to live with his son.

Surviving are six children, W. C. Pectol, J. B. Pectol, Jr., Mrs. Gertrude Faust, Miss Eliza Pectol, and Mrs. Fred Campbell, all of Kingsport, and Mrs. A. W. Johnson of Radford, VA.; one sister, Mrs. M. H. Roller of Kingsport and four granddaughters.  His wife died three years ago.

Funeral services will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday at the home of his son on Catawba street.  Short services also will be conducted at the old homeplace with burial to take place in the family cemetery.  Dr. R. E> Greer, Dr. W. H. McCorkle and the Rev. Harold Davis will officiate.

Pallbearers will be his nephews, John and Richard Pectol, Dr. G. W. Earls, Henry Victory and Paris Pendleton, Charlie Fleernor and Emanuel Harrison.  Flower bearers will be his nieces.

The body will be taken late Friday afternoon to the home of his son.
