Lottie Powell House 
Bath County News-Outlook Thursday, March 2, 1939 
Sherburne Woman Accident Victim 
Body of Mrs. House Found Near Morehead 
   The body of Mrs. Lottie Powell House, wife of James Scott House, of 
Sherburne, was found shortly after noon Wednesday face down in a small 
pool of water at the Triplett creek damn near the city limits of Morehead.  
While Coroner Lester Caskey of Rowan county gave a verdict of suicide, 
it is thought here that Mrs. House fell into the pool accidentally and, 
because of her weakened condition, was unable to save herself.  She had 
been dead less than two hours, the coroner's verdict indicated. 
   Mrs. House, who had been in poor health for several years, was in 
Morehead under the care of a physician.  Several years ago she underwent 
a major operation at the Mayo clinic, Rochester, Minn., from which she 
had never fully recovered. 
   A member of a leading Bath county family, she was the daughter of 
J. A. Powell and the late Mrs. Louellen Darnell Powell.  Her father is 
a wealthy and prominent land owner of the South Sherburne section.  
Besides her husband and father, she is survived by one daughter, Ada 
Bernice House, and three sisters, Mrs. Roy Denton, of Fleming county, 
Mrs. Ed Daugherty and Mrs. S. S. Conyers, of Bath. 
   Funeral services will be held at the home of Mr. J. A. Powell 
aturday morning, March 4, at 11 o'clock, conducted by the Rev. Henry 
S. Ficklin.  Interment will be in the Flemingsburg cemetery.
