Joseph 'Dave' Dunn, of Baskerville, dies
Oct 02, 2002
As a child, Joseph Daves "Dave" Dunn began working at Jot Em Down Store, the country store his grandfather established in Baskerville early in the 1900s. He swept the floor and helped make flues that conducted heat through Virginia tobacco barns.
He was a fifth-grader when he took over the store's operation after his father contracted typhoid fever. He ran the store for more than six years while his father lay ill in a nursing home and later owned it until three major strokes forced him to close it in 1988.
A retired tobacco farmer and warehouseman and a Baskerville resident who served on the Mecklenburg County Board of Supervisors, Mr. Dunn died of cancer Monday in a Richmond hospital. He was 67.
A family spokeswoman explained the name of the family store. " 'Jot Em Down' meant 'credit,'" she said. "The store sold a little bit of everything - furniture, fertilizer, chemicals, groceries, shoes, clothes, old-fashioned cheese in rounds that had to be rotated, nails and hardware, plows, even caskets at one time."
The store once had the only telephone in a 15-mile radius, said James Crowder, owner of Crowder-Hite-Crews Funeral Home in South Hill. "People would walk for miles to use the telephone to call a doctor. The railroad used to drop a load of fertilizer there. The store was a real nerve center for the community."
Mr. Dunn served as a Mecklenburg County supervisor during the 1970s and early 1980s. "He was always trying to cut budgets and save county money," the spokeswoman said.
Mr. Dunn was also on the boards of the Virginia and Mecklenburg County departments of welfare and of the former Central Fidelity Bank.
After the series of strokes paralyzed his left side and part of his right side in 1988, he undertook arduous physical therapy until "no one could tell he had ever had a stroke," the spokeswoman said.
After his retirement, Mr. Dunn served as a host at Kahill's Restaurant in South Hill, where he made many friends and told colorful stories about the people and history of the area.
A Danville native, Mr. Dunn went to Hampden-Sydney College for 4½ years and "got the best education he could get, other than books" before going to work in the family store.
He was an Army Reserve veteran and a member of the South Hill American Legion Post. He was a 32nd-degree Mason at South Hill Masonic Lodge.
Survivors include two daughters, Martha Newton and Carol Dunn, both of Baskerville; two sons, Richard K. Dunn, of Fredericksburg and Joseph E. Dunn, of South Hill; a sister, Mary Carroll Rognerud, of Winston-Salem, N.C.; and five grandchildren.
A graveside service will be Wednesday at 2 p.m. in the cemetery of Bethany Baptist Church in Baskerville.

Oct 19, 2002
A funeral for the Rev. Samuel Sutphin Cole and his wife, Blanche MacKenzie Cole, will be held at 2 p.m. Monday at Lawrenceville United Methodist Church.
Mrs. Cole, who sometimes taught elementary school in the communities where her husband pastored, died Wednesday at age 87. Mr. Cole, her husband of 63 years, died Thursday. He was 85.
The Dolphin residents had each fought a series of illnesses in the past year, family members said.
The two met while attending Eastern Nazarene College in Quincy, Mass. Mr. Cole earned a bachelor's degree before completing a master's degree at Harvard Divinity School.
Mr. Cole, a native of Vienna, Va., held pastorates in Maine, Massachusetts and Vermont before the couple returned to Virginia in 1956. His assignments included churches in Springfield, LaCrosse, Chesapeake, Portsmouth and Lynchburg. He retired in 1983 after four years in Alberta serving Bethel and Macedonia United Methodist churches.
Survivors include their daughter, Carol Elizabeth Gray, of Dolphin; two sons, Charles Wesley Cole, of Julian, N.C., and Wayne Carlton Cole, of Oklahoma; four grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
