    - Thursday, October 15, 1998

    The Reverend Dr. Henry Erskine Pressly

    Dr. Henry Erskine Pressly, 88, of Charlotte, NC, died on Tuesday, Oct. 13, 1998, at his home. Dr. Pressly was born on January 11, 1910, in Statesville, NC, a son of the late James Hearst Pressly and Mable Lowry Pressly. Educated in the public schools of Statesville, he received his AB Degree from Erskine College, his Th.B Degree from Princeton Theological Seminary, and his PhD from Edinburgh University in Edinburgh, Scotland. He was awarded the degree of Doctor of Divinity by Erskine College and served on its Board of Trustees.

    Dr. Pressly served two pastorates in the Associate Reformed Presbyterian denomination, first in Anderson, SC, and from 1950-1980 at the Tabernacle Church in Charlotte. He served his denomination as Moderator in 1970.

    During World War II, Dr. Pressly served as an Army Chaplain with the 88th Infantry Division in North Africa and Italy. He was with his Division on the front lines in Italy for 200 days, and is remembered as one of the brave men who was there when he didn't have to be.

    Dr. Pressly is survived by his wife of 56 years, Sara Parkinson Pressly; a son, Gordon Hearst Pressly and his wife, Janet, of Charlotte, NC; a daughter, Dr. Margaret Rose Pressly and her husband, Mitchell Quayle, of Sylva, NC; a granddaughter, Erin Pressly of Charlotte, NC; a brother, Dr. C. Lowry Pressly of Charlotte, NC; a sister, Elizabeth P. Moses of DeLand, FL; and many nephews and nieces.

    Dr. Pressly was a strong but gentle man, with a unique sense of humor. He enjoyed many things, such as horseback riding, but will be remembered most as a totally patriotic man who had a great love for his family and a great love of his high calling to the Ministry of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He will certainly be missed.

    A memorial service will be held at 12 Noon on Friday, October 16, 1998, at First Presbyterian Church, 200 West Trade Street, Charlotte, NC, with The Reverend Dr. William P. Wood and The Reverend Dr. Chapman Lauderdale officiating. The family will receive friends on Thursday, October 15, 1998, from 7-9 p.m. at Harry and Bryant Company, 500 Providence Road, Charlotte, NC. Interment will be private.
