    Notes:

    From Find-A-Grave:

    Riley Frost Petree was a deeply religious man, and his son placed the family bible in his coffin to be buried with him. (losing some valuable dates).

    Family sources state that Riley fought for the Union during the Civil War, however there is a R. F. Petree listed in the Confederate States Home Guard. He could have served on both sides.

    It is believed that Riley disagreed with his father on taking sides during the Civil War. His father disinherited Riley from his will, giving him only the sum of 25 cents.

    Riley was interested in public affairs as well as in his farm and family. After the Civil War a Constitutional Convention was called to meet in Raleigh, North Carolina Jan. 04, 1868 to Mar. 17, 1868. Riley represented District 19 Stokes County, North Carolina in this session in which several changes were made from previous constitutions.

    Riley was a man of integrity and was willing to work to help rebuild peace in the state. He died in 1902 in the home of his son, Riley Jeffery Petree.

    Buried:
    Corinth Church of Christ Cemetery
