Dr. Junius Brutus Stroud III

June 9, 1929 – May 17, 2022

J.B. Stroud was born on June 9, 1929 in Greensboro, N.C., but his family moved to the small town of Faison, N.C. (population 800) when he was four years old. He grew up there with his parents J.B. Stroud, Jr. and Rachel W. Stroud, his maternal grandmother Annie H. Witherington, and his two sisters Anne W. and Berta A. Stroud. He once said that being a small boy in Faison in the 1930s was like living with one foot in a Mark Twain story and the other in a Norman Rockwell painting.

He enrolled at Fishburne Military School in 1944 where he lettered in football, basketball and track, graduated first in the class of 1944 and was selected by the faculty as the most outstanding cadet.

He was a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Davidson College, class of 1951. Two months later he was called on active duty and trained as a rifle platoon leader and as a paratrooper. Then, in the mysterious ways of the army, he was temporarily pulled out of the pipeline to Korea and sent to military intelligence school. Captain Stroud next spent a year in Korea at Eighth Army Headquarters as an Order of Battle specialist.

In the fallof 1953 he joined the faculty at Fishburne where he taught mathematics and physics, coached football and track and was assistant commandant of cadets. The 1957 Taps yearbook was dedicated to him. Most importantly, he met Ruby Lee Masincup, and
they married in August 1955.

After two years of graduate study at the University of Virginia he joined the mathematics faculty at Davidson College in 1960 where he taught until 1998. During those years he took a two year leave of absence to complete a Ph.D. in mathematics at the University of Virginia. He further pursued his scholarship during sabbaticals at Dartmouth University, the University of St. Andrews in Scotland, and the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C.

J.B. was a dedicated teacher who maintained close relationships with his students throughout his life. He was a recipient of the Thomas Jefferson Award at Davidson in 1987. He served Davidson College Presbyterian Church over a 40-year period as Deacon, Elder, Clerk of the Session, and Treasurer. He was the Scoutmaster of Troop 58 in Davidson for numerous years and a dedicated contributor to Habitat for Humanity.

J.B. loved history, puzzles and travel, and he was the consummate handyman. To his friends and students, J.B. was appreciated for his intelligence, thoughtfulness, fairness, sly smile and wit, and kind and friendly nature. To his family, he was a beloved husband, father, brother, grandfather and uncle. He was an inspiring example of always doing one’s best and of always putting others first.

He dearly loved his family and is survived by his cherished wife Ruby Stroud; his children Timothy and his wife Stella P. Stroud, Jonathan Stroud, and Cynthia S. and her husband Jonathan Glance; his grandchildren Brion (Jacinda), Robert (Chie), Emily (Philip), Clara, Jon David, Pryor, Timothy, Carlyle (fiancéeTherese), and Ellyson; his sisters Anne S. Taylor and Berta S. Swain; his sister-in-law Sarah M. Wright; and many nieces and nephews.

The family would like to express their gratitude for the wonderful care given to J.B. by the nurses and staff of The Pines at Davidson as well as Hospice and Palliative Care, Lake Norman. If desired, friends may make a memorial contribution to the J.B. Stroud Scholarship, Davidson College, Box 7170, Davidson, NC 28036, or tribute gifts can also be made online via www.davidson.edu/makeagift.

Homer Franklin Haworth, Jr, passed away Monday, May 16, 2022 at Trinity Oaks in Salisbury, NC.

Born August 14, 1925 in High Point, NC, as the only child of Homer F Haworth Sr and Charlie Mae Cridlebaugh Haworth, he led a life of devotion and loyalty. First to Education; a BA at Davidson College and an MA at University of Michigan followed by a career as a highly decorated high school band director for 30 years. He served as presidents of both the NC Music Educators Association and the American School Band Directors Association and is in the NC Band Director’s Hall of Fame among other professional honors.

His second loyalty was to the US military; as a young man of Quaker upbringing, he controversially volunteered to enlist in the Navy and served as an ensign on the U.S.S. Gurke DD783. Military service in WWII made a deep impression on him, and was an experience that would instill in him discipline and honor and an unusual habit of navy showers for his entire life.

His third loyalty was to his church and family. He was a devoted Presbyterian and served as elder, deacon, choir director, and various other roles. He was a loving and doting husband to wife, Marjorie Ann Brown Haworth and awesome dad to his surviving children, daughters, Carlin Styers (Tom) of Albemarle, Ann Hatchett (Parker) of Salisbury, and Bryan Haworth (Julie) of Plano, Texas; grandchildren Anna Styers Decker (Ben), Carson C. Hatchett (Sarah), Corinne Haworth, Camille Haworth and Luke Haworth; and great- grandchildren Amelia Decker, Holly Decker and Harper Decker.

He was a bit of a perfectionist, especially when it came to his music. He was an accomplished trumpet player. He loved a good joke and was a great story-teller. And he was always generous with his time and talents for anyone in need.

A memorial service will be conducted at 10:30 AM Monday, May 23, 2022 at the Trinity Oaks chapel, and a graveside service will be at 11:00 AM on Tuesday, May 24, 2022 at Salisbury National Cemetery. Memorial may be made to the Trinity Oaks Employee Appreciation Fund, 728 Klumac Road, Salisbury, NC 28144.
