ARNEST, Harry Lee Jr., 88, of Kinsale, husband of Betty Norris Arnest, died at home on March 3, 2009. He was born on August 23, 1920, the eldest son of Harry Lee Arnest and Fannie Tyler Griffith Arnest. He lived with his maternal grandparents in Hague for most of his early years, and graduated from Cople High School in 1937. He took pre-med courses at George Washington University for two years, and then entered the U.S. Naval Academy in 1939. Following his graduation from Annapolis in 1942, he was assigned to the U.S.S. North Carolina as a gunnery officer. After nearly two years aboard the North Carolina, he was reassigned to submarine school in New London, Conn., and subsequently served as a gunnery officer on the U.S.S. Corporal. In 1947, he resigned his commission from the Navy and moved to Kinsale, his wife's hometown. He engaged in a number of enterprises in Kinsale over the years, from running a general store to hauling seine to operating a marina. In the early 1970s, he began selling real estate, which was to be his career for over 30 years. His firm, Harry Lee Arnest Jr. Real Estate, was located in the downstairs of an old granary building in Kinsale, with a great lookout over the Kinsale harbor. He was a past president of the Northern Neck Association of Realtors, and a recipient of that group's Lifetime Achievement Award. His civic activities included helping to start Kinsale's Volunteer Fire Department and serving on the vestry of Cople Parish. He was a member of the Planning Commission for Westmoreland County from 1984 to 1987. He is survived by his wife of 64 years, and by his grandchildren, William Moore Brockenbrough Arnest, Ann Norris Arnest, and Harry Lee Arnest IV, the children of his late son, Harry Lee Arnest III. His daughter, Jane Tyler Arnest, likewise predeceased him. Among his siblings, he is survived by Frances B. Arnest and Phillip G. Arnest; and was predeceased by Emily Faith Arnest Williams and D. Carter Arnest. He is also survived by his daughter-in-law, Alice P. Moore, and by a number of nieces and nephews.

HARRIS, Margaret Lee Johnson, 87, died March 1, 2009, after a long illness at a local hospital. She was born May 20, 1921 in Southampton County, Virginia, to the late Charles Thomas Johnson and Sally Nichols Johnson. For 35 years she proudly worked, first in housekeeping at the old Raiford Memorial Hospital until it closed, and then provided janitorial services for Franklin City public schools before retiring in 1985. Widowed at an early age, she took full responsibility for her children and provided them with love and guidance. She showed great pride in practicing those values given to her by her parents and community at a time when America was not kind to people of color and appreciated the opportunity to do a good job even though pay was meager. She passed this work ethic onto her children and encouraged them to seek education as their path in life. She also taught them to live for church, family and community, and felt all people had value and much to contribute. Her life was full of wit and wisdom that she did not hesitate to share with anyone around her. Mrs. Harris was preceded in death by her husband, Luke M. Harris Sr.; two sons, Charles Bernard Harris and Ernest Harris; five brothers, Johnnie Johnson, Samuel Johnson, Willie Johnson, Charlie Johnson and Emmett Johnson; three sisters, Bardie Johnson, Catherine Scoggins and Paige Carney; and one grandchild, Reagan Boykin.

Boykin of Suffolk, Va., Augusta Lorraine H. Collins (Hubert) of Greenbelt, Md., and Charlene B. Adams (Willie) of Morrow, Ga.; a brother, Floyd Johnson (Eunice) of Portsmouth, Va.; 12 grandchildren, 14 great-grandchildren, five great-great-grandchildren, and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. Margaret Harris was a product of Southampton County, Virginia, and whose sacrifices and devotion to her family and friends will long be remembered as she answers a higher calling.
