Death Claims Mrs. Shrout 
To Be Held Friday Afternoon 
   Mrs. Virginia Bell Shrout, 75 years old, passed away at her home 
on the Tunnell Hill Road shortly before four o'clock Wednesday afternoon, 
June 22, following a long illness. 
   Funeral services will be held at her late residence at 2:30 o'clock 
Friday afternoon, June 24, conducted by the Rev. R. L. Bailey.  Interment 
will take place in the family lot in the Owingsville Cemetery. 
   The last survivor of a large influential family, Mrs. Shrout was a 
daughter of the late James and Martha Gregory Horseman, born in this 
county on August 15, 1863.  She was married on December 24, 1881, to 
the late Ben F. Shrout, a widely known and prosperous Bath county farmer, 
who preceded her in death some 20 years ago.  To this union were born 
two sons, Alban G. Shrout, Reynoldsville, former Commissioner of Bath 
county, and R. D. Shrout of Mt. Sterling, both whom survive her.  She 
is also survived by three grandchildren, Mrs. William Marcomb and 
Russell D. Shrout, Jr., both of Mt. Sterling, and Lester M. Shrout of 
Reynoldsville, and one great-grandson, William Dudley Marcomb.  
Pall-bearers will be Virgil Gillon, James Kerr, Robert W. Shields, 
Earl Wells, Clifford Horseman, Russell Otis, Thomas Horseman and 
Pressley Rawlings. 
   While Mrs. Shrout had been in declining health for the past eight 
years or longer, she had only been critically ill for the past three 
weeks.
