Obituary -- (Findagrave.com):
ALICE DABNEY PARKER
Virginian-Pilot, The (Norfolk, VA) - April 25, 2007, B-7
FRANKLIN - Alice Dabney Parker died at her home April 21, 2007. She was 94.
She was born Alice Saunders Dabney Sept. 4, 1912, in Charlottesville, Va. Her father, R. Heath Dabney, was professor of history and economics at the University of Virginia for 49 years and dean of the department of graduate studies for 18 years. Her mother, Lily Davis Dabney, was the founder of the English-Speaking-Union in Charlottesville and a celebrated hostess at her home, which still stands at 703 Rugby Road.
Mrs. Parker, like her older brother, Virginius Dabney (later editor of the Richmond Times-Dispatch), was educated entirely at home by her father and her great-aunt until she was in her teens. She then graduated from St. Anne's School and Sweet Briar College, where she received her A.B. degree with honors at the age of 19.
She was married in 1935 to John C. Parker of Franklin. For decades during their 51-year marriage, she and her husband went to New York City twice a year where they reveled in theater, ballet and the cabaret scene. Their intense curiosity about the world made their many trips abroad memorable not only for themselves but for their daughters who relished their tales and Mrs. Parker's beautifully composed photographs taken with the simplest of cameras.
Keenly musical, she studied the piano for many years. When Emmanuel Episcopal Church needed an organist, she volunteered to learn the organ and served in that capacity at the church for 11 years in the 40s and 50s. She was a devoted member of that congregation for a total of 72 years. She was a 48-year member of the Franklin Book Club, to which she gave countless hours of loving attention and intellectual guidance. Her programs for the club were remarkable for their vitality and scholarly depth. She was also a very active member of the Franklin Music Club and the Franklin Garden Club.
Her family was entwined with the history of the University of Virginia from the beginning, her mother being a collateral descendant of Thomas Jefferson's sister, Martha. Mrs. Parker's great-grandfather, John A.G. Davis, chairman of the University faculty, was shot dead on the Lawn by a student in a notorious incident. Her great-grandfather, James E. Heath, was a founder of Phi Beta Kappa.
She is survived by her daughters, the Rev. Fleming Rutledge of Rye Brook, N.Y., and her husband R.E. Rutledge, and Elizabeth Parker "Betsy" McColl of Columbia, S.C., and her husband James C. McColl; by three granddaughters, Heyward Rutledge Donigan of Seattle, Elizabeth Heath Rutledge of Atlanta and Elizabeth Dabney "Eliza" McColl Liles of Charlotte; and two great-grandchildren, Alice Dabney Donigan and Patrick Riley Donigan.
The funeral will be at 11 a.m. Saturday, April 28, at Emmanuel Episcopal Church with the Revs. Edmund Pickup and Ben R. Duffey officiating. Burial will be at Poplar Spring Cemetery immediately following. The family asks that in lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Emmanuel Episcopal Church Endowment Fund, P.O. Box 146, Franklin, VA 23851; the Southampton County Historical Society, 33335 Statesville Road, Newsoms, VA 23874; or the Ruth Camp Campbell Library, 280 N. College Drive, Franklin, VA 23851. Wright Funeral Home is assisting the family.

Obituary -- Citizen-Times.com (via Tracy DeVault):
Frederick Rutledge Jr.
Columbia - Funeral service for Frederick Reeves Rutledge Jr., 87, will be held at 2 p.m. Tuesday, at Northeast Presbyterian Church with burial in the churchyard. Honorary pallbearers will be the Civitan Club of Asheville, N.C. Visitation is 4-6 p.m. Sunday, August 16, at Dunbar Funeral Home, Devine Street Chapel.
Mr. Rutledge died August 12, 2009. Born in Asheville, he was the son of the late Ruth Deville and Frederick Reeves Rutledge Sr. Fred attended St. Genevieves In-The-Pines School in Asheville, N.C., Episcopal High School in Alexandria, Va., and in 1940 entered the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill on a tennis scholarship. He was president of his DKE Rush Class and served in several leadership roles during his years at U.N.C.
In 1942, he joined the U.S. Army and rose to the rank of Captain in the Counter-Intelligence Corps. During World War II he served in France, Belgium and Luxembourg.
After the war, Fred moved to Dallas, Texas, where he met the love of his life, Mary Ellen Dent. They were married March 4, 1949, in Dallas. This March they celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary.
In the early 1950s Fred worked with Prudential Life Insurance Company in Dallas. He also began building custom homes and sold 23 homes in the Dallas area. In 1958 he moved his family to Columbia, S.C., to be closer to his parents in the area.
In Columbia he returned to the insurance industry and was associated with Guardian Life Insurance, Franklin Life Insurance, John Hancock Life Insurance and retired in 1977 as the manager of Liberty Life Insurance Company where he was a qualifying member of the Million Dollar Round Table.
Fred was a proud member of the Richland Sertoma Club and participated in many Richland I Sportsaramas. He was on the original Riverbanks Zoo Commission and enjoyed this relationship immensely. After his service on the Commission, he continued to enjoy the benefits of the Riverbanks Zoo Society.
Always active in the S.C. Republican Party, he ran for City Council in 1970 in an attempt to become the first Republican in that office since the Civil War.
His running mate, Welch Morrisette, won but Fred was narrowly defeated. He always said that he would have won had not all policemen and firefighters in the city been involved in the infamous May 1970 riots on the University of South Carolina Campus.
Fred was one of the three founding members of the Columbia Tip-Off Club. (The other members were Bee Harper and Charlie Myers).
One of his great passions was U.S.C. basketball and he attended games from 1960 until last year. He and Frank McGuire were great friends and Fred was an honorary Assistant Coach to McGuire. He coached youth basketball at Trinity Episcopal Cathedral and his teams won the Columbia Interfaith League Championship seven out of eight years. He also won two State Rec. League Championships. Many of his players are prominent members of the community and still refer to Fred as coach.
Fred also served many years as Sunday School Superintendent at Trinity.
In 1979, Fred and his wife moved to his boyhood home, Asheville, N.C. He purchased his grandfather's former insurance agency (third oldest in North Carolina, founded in 1889). He worked hard in his semi-retirement and returned the Rutledge Agency back to prominence in the Asheville area. He became active in Republican Politics and started the Western North Carolina chapter of the Gamecock Club, but his true delight was the Asheville Civitan Club. He served as president and was N.C. District LT Governor 1994-1995
.
In 1996, Fred sold the Rutledge Agency and retired again.
In 1998, his two sons convinced Fred and Pinkie to move back to Columbia to be closer to the sons and grandchildren.
Fred got involved in U.S.C. basketball and football, attending many games with his sons.
He was a past member of the Asheville Country Club, Forest Lake Country Club, the Tarantella Club and the Palmetto Club.
He loved spending time in Litchfield Beach and trips to Final Four Basketball Tournaments. He counted among his friends, Senators Strom Thurmond, Fritz Hollings and Congressman Floyd Spence. He loved hunting with his father, grandfather and great-uncle Archibald Rutledge (former Poet Laureate of South Carolina).
He hunted with his family at Hampton Plantation, the family plantation in McClellanville, S.C. Fred was a direct descendant of Edward Rutledge, signer of the Declaration of Independence, and John Rutledge, the first President of South Carolina and signer of the Constitution. [See note below.]
Fred was a devoted husband, loving father and grandfather and was very proud to be a recent great-grandfather.
He was a wonderful friend and a kind and giving spirit. He will be missed by many who loved and cherished him.
Surviving are his wife, Ellen Rutledge of Columbia; sons and daughters-in-law, Edward and Belinda Corbett Rutledge, Charles Rolfe and Robin Abrams Rutledge, all of Blythewood; daughter, Caroline Rutledge and husband, Kenneth Park, of Santa Barbara, CA; grandchildren, William Alexander Julian of Santa Barbara, Heather Rembert Brooks Ferguson and husband, Craig Titley, of Marina Del Rey, CA, Elizabeth Leigh Rutledge Stallings and husband, Page, of Charlotte, Joseph Reeves Rutledge of Columbia, Christopher Reeves Rutledge and wife, Jennifer Dwyer, of Goose Creek; greatgrandchildren, Liza Edgerton Stallings of Charlotte, Landon Reeves Rutledge of Goose Creek; sister, Ruth Rutledge Bailey of Asheville; nephews, Derrick Rutledge Bailey, Thomas Black Bailey, Douglas Middleton Bailey; nieces, Julia Adams Slipher, Mary Anne Adams Warlick. He was predeceased by sister, Anne Rutledge Adams; stepmother, Beatrice Edwards Rutledge.
Memorials may be made to the Asheville Civitan Club, P.O. Box 1755, Asheville, NC 28802, U.S.C. Gamecock Club, 1300 Rosewood Drive Columbia, SC 29208, Providence Medical Center, 2435 Forest Drive, Columbia, SC 29204 or Northeast Presbyterian Church, 601 Polo Road, Columbia, SC 29223.
NOTE: Frederick Reeves Rutledge was a direct descendant of John Rutledge (1739 - 1800), first governor of South Carolina and signer of the United States Constitution. However, Edward Rutledge (1749 - 1800), signer of the Declaration of Independence, was John's younger brother and this means that Frederick Rutledge could not have been a direct descendant of Edward Rutledge.
