Mary Clark Paul
Mama [Mary Clark Paul] was born on Christmas Eve 1927 and she has always been a gift to us. The daughter of Joseph David Clark and Annie Laura Bishop Clark, she was the fourth of eight children. When Mama was eight years old she went to live with Caleb and Necy Woolard. They raised her as their daughter and helped provide for her other siblings as well. Mama married Laurice Cleveland Alligood in 1942 and they had three children, Alva, Rita and Kenneth. At a young age, she became a widow with three small children. In 1962, Mama married Claude "Ray" Paul. They had one daughter, Pam. Mama instilled a strong work ethic in all her children. Growing up in the country, she was no stranger to hard work. She helped with the tobacco crops and worked in the cotton fields. As she got older,her job would be to cook lunch for all the tobacco workers. Mama went to work at Hamilton Beach Small Appliance Company in 1966 and retired in 1989. She would work long hours to provide for her family and always put herself last. At home, she was always busy. Mama kept her house spotless and you always took your shoes off at the door. She was just as peculiar about her yard. If you helped her mow the grass, she first had to give you a lesson on how to do it. Mama loved cooking big Sunday dinners for her family. Collards were her specialty and she always made sure there was enough for everybody to take some home with them. Gathered around her table, many good memories were made. Mama loved to have her children together. As our family grew, she welcomed each and every one and loved them the same. Mama had a way of loving us each individually and making us feel special to her. She often called to check on us and make sure everyone was okay. She'd ask what we were having for supper and always tell us to get some rest. Mama's favorite companion was her chihuahua, Poppy. He kept her company and she would talk to him like he was one of her children. Mama always kept us smiling. Her original songs and silly sayings will be passed down through generations. We all inherited her sense of humor and quick wit. Mama was a member of Rosemary Church of Christ and peacefully passed into the arms of the Lord on September 18, 2020 with her family by her side. We will all carry a piece of her heart within us. Left to carry on Mama's legacy are her children, Rita Thompson, Kenneth Alligood and wife Myra, and Pam Anstead and husband Cliff. Lovingly known as Grandma, Granny and Nannie, Mama leaves seven grandchildren to cherish her memory. They are Rodney Alligood and wife Tammy, Christy Donaldson and husband Mike, Angela Hawley and husband Jonathan, Michael Lee, April Staples and husband Billy, Mary Kathryn Lee, Matthew Thompson and Shawn. Mama was Great-Grandmother to Kellie Klein and husband Matt, Ivy Lee, Chesney Staples, Madison Hawley, Tyler Alligood, Haley Lee, Mikaila Foushee, Cameron Hawley, Olivia Toms, Nola Toms, Ethan Toms, Emery Staples, Piper Lee and Nicholas Donaldson. She had three great-great grandchildren, Grayson, Jovie and Jacob Klein. Mama was predeceased by her parents, the fathers of her children, Laurice Alligood and Ray Paul, one daughter Alva Davidson and seven brothers and sisters, Joseph "Dave" Clark, Darrell Clark, Annie Laura "Mammy" Henriksen, Calvin Clark, John "JC" Clark, William "Red" Clark and Geraldine Roebuck.

George Lee Porter
George Lee Porter, a great American patriot, lived most of his life in Aurora. Born in Bladen County on December 31, 1919, his 90 years were invested in selfless service to his family, community, and nation. The son of Dolly Fredere and Winfred Roland Porter, he operated a dry-cleaning business in Aurora following a 2-3 year stint as a pitcher for the Class A Kinston Eagles after World War II. He later became one of the first employees of Texas Gulf Sulphur Company when mining operations opened in Aurora. He ultimately retired from the Beaufort County ABC Commission after many years of professional service. Like many of his generation, his life was shaped in large measure by the events of World War II. George entered service in 1940 via the National Guard, where he served with the 113th Field Artillery based in New Bern. Following the United States’ entry into the conflict, he was accepted as an Army Air Corps cadet. After successfully completing flight school, he was assigned to the distinguished 324th Fighter Group, whose squadrons served from the invasion of North Africa in 1942 throughout the Mediterranean theater and eventually into the heartland of Germany via southern France. George flew 125 missions in P-40’s and P-47’s, and survived being shot down by German anti-aircraft fire in northern Italy. He served with distinction through the end of the war, rising to the rank of Captain and earning multiple decorations, including the Air Medal, the Distinguished Flying Cross, the Purple Heart, and the French Croix de Guerre. George was respected for taking care of the men who flew with him and for his ability to navigate in extreme weather conditions. The experience gave form to the values and faith that would guide the balance of his life. He married Edna Hill Porter, daughter of Leon & Pearlie Porter of Chocowinity, in 1953, and their marriage of 56 years was lived out in a loving home in Aurora where they raised their four children, Lee, Lynn, Fred, and Bob. George served in numerous capacities in Aurora United Methodist Church, and was actively involved in the formation of many civic groups, including the Ruritans, Wildlife Club, and most recently VFW Post 9492. “Mr. George” was known for his love of family, friends, humor, baseball and German Shepherds, and for his commitment to those who served with him in his beloved squadron, the 316th Hells Belles. Those left behind to miss him and gratefully live out his legacy include his wife and children, their spouses, five grandchildren, a wonderful town full of friends, and the remaining lions of the 324th Fighter Group, whose Latin motto was “audeo,” meaning “to dare”. We thank God that they and all members of that generation dared to sacrifice all in the preservation of liberty. The family wishes to extend its heartfelt gratitude to Dr. David Frazier of Greenville and his wonderful staff, and to the staff of Washington Family Practice. Funeral services will be 11 a.m. Tuesday, January 26, 2009 at the Aurora United Methodist Church and will be conducted by Rev. Tim Ware. Burial will follow in the Pineland Cemetery.

He was a man of uncommon excellence; with a mind (1 word smudged) and intelligent, a sense of propriety very discriminating, and agreeable manners. Always under the guidance of the soundest morality, during the course of a long, a virtuous and well spent life, together with his exemplary discharge of all the relative duties of husband, father, master and friend--endeared him to all who had the privilege of being, in any way, connected with him. He moved in the circle of his friends and acquaintances, with dignity and usefulness; --all of whom, will long believe his loss, particularly his family and the Methodist Society, (of which he had been a member and an ornament for the space of near forty years) truly irreparable. He experienced in the course of his life much affliction, and in the loss of a wife and several children, sore bereavements. But these trying (several words are smudged), he bore with (one word unreadable) patience, and under them exhibited great fortitude of mind. His last illness was particularly distressing: the pains which he suffered were excruciating, yet he endured with christian patience: not a murmur escaped his lips: he bowed to the will of God and adored his afflicting hand. His was a Religion both vital and practical; and his example in the bosom of his family, and throughout all his avocation, forcibly impressed a veneration for the (one word unreadable), and attributes of the most high. It was these principles early imbibed and scrupulously cultivated, that in the trying and awful moments of mortal dissolution, imparted calmness and equanimity to his mind. It was such faith and such conduct that robbed Death of his sting and the Grave if her victory; and amid the fast ebbings of life, enabled his faltering tongue triumphantly to testify to his sorrowful attendants: I have long desired to behold the full Glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ, and now, I am about to be gratified. His God sustained him in his final hour! His final hour brought Glory to his God! You saw the man, you saw his hold on Heaven! Few men have lived as long with more usefulness and with less (1 word smudged); and few, very few indeed, have had their transition from this fleeting world hallowed with deeper or more general regrets; or had those regret assuaged by a firmer assurance of his being translated? "to a world not made with hands, eternal in the heavens." (The American Recorder [Washington, NC] - Friday, April 5, 1815; pg. 2)
