      SW VA Enterprise, Wythville, VA; 15 July 2006

      Maude Mullins Speer, 91, a long time resident of Wytheville, died Wednesday, July 12, 2006, at Wythe County Community Hospital. A memorial service will be held on Monday, July 17, at 2 p.m. at Wytheville Presbyterian Church.

      She was the third of five children born in the little town of Glamorgan, in Wise County to William Henderson Mullins and Louise Vermillion Mullins. The family moved to Harlan, Ky., where her father ran a general merchandise store. She lived in Harlan for more tha 20 years, attending local schools and later teaching in them.

      She was graduated in 1950 from Emory & Henry College. A few years later, she made her first visit to Wytheville because her dentist in Harlan referred her for specialty work to local dentist, Dr. Clyde V. Speer. Upon completion of her dental work, she returned to Harlan. A year later, she was startled to receive a phone call from Dr. Speer who asked if she remembered him and if so, could he come visit. A happy courtship and marriage of nearly 40 years followed.
      She was preceded in death by her husband, Dr. Clyde Speer, in 1992.

      Survivors include a daughter and son-in-law, Tibbett Speer and Alex Neill of Washington, D.C.; and several nieces including Jayne Poynter of Corbin, Ky., and Mary Margaret Serpento of Farming Hills, Mich.

      Grubb Funeral Home of Wytheville is in charge of the arrangements.
