ORIENTAL - Zeb David Hargett passed away Friday, May 25, 2001.  
A graveside service will be held at 10 a.m. Thursday, May 31, 2001, in the 
Olive Branch Baptist Church Cemetery. As was their desire, Zeb and Boots 
ashes will be laid to rest together among the generations there of family 
members.  He was born in Charlotte, on Sept. 14, 1932. Zeb David graduated 
from Central High School, Charlotte. In 1955, he graduated from North 
Carolina State University, with a degree in civil engineering. He was 
president of Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity. A registered professional engineer 
in many states, he enjoyed an interesting career both in the United States 
and overseas. After retiring as vice president of Paul N. Howard Co.,
 Greensboro, a second career as a realtor / land developer followed in 
Oriental.  Zeb and his wife, "Boots", founded Hargett and Hargett Realty 
and developed "The Landings". He was a past president of the Pamlico Board 
of Realtors and a town commissioner of Oriental.  He never met a stranger. 
Many will remember his quick wit and his ability to listen to others and 
to always encourage them in their own endeavors. A gifted storyteller, Zeb 
and his faithful black and white cocker spaniel, Jezebel, could often be 
seen with a group gathering on the waterfront in Oriental.  
He was preceded in death by his loving wife, Hannah "Boots" Jackson 
Hargett of Oriental; father, Carnie M. Hargett and mother, Beulah Simpson 
Hargett, both of Charlotte and Olive Branch; and brother, D. Mitchell

Lynn of Raphine, Va. Other family members include sisters-in-law and 
brother-in-law, Mrs. Connie DeVan Hargett of Mobile, Ala., Mr. and Mrs.

Rehmery of Greensboro; nephews and nieces and their children; cousins; and
