SUFFOLK. 

Many Matters of Interest Picked Up in and Around Town. 
Special to The Landmark. 

  Suffolk, Va., February 6. - This morning at 7:30 o'clock the soul of Mrs. 
Lucie R. Butler took its flight to the God who gave it an earthly habitation. 
Mrs. Butler had been sick but a few days, pneumonia having set in, affecting 
both lungs and rapidly preying upon her system.  Deceased was the youngest 
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Willis S. Riddick, who preceded her to the grave many 
years ago, and the beloved wife of Mr. R. Harry Butler, of Suffolk.  Mrs. 
Butler had a large circle of relatives and friends, who, together with her 
husband and three small children, are left to mourn her early demise.  This 
estimable lady was about 31 years of age, bright and lively, and a consistent 
member of St. Paul's P.E. Church, at which place the funeral will be conducted 
on Friday morning at 11 o'clock.  We extend our sincere sympathy to the 
bereaved ones and commend them to the Great Comforter for consolation.

MRS. BUTLER DEAD. 

  Mrs. Lucy Butler, wife of R. Harry Butler, a well-liked commercial salesman, 
and daughter of the late Willis Riddick, died this morning, aged 31 years. 
Mrs. Butler had been ill about a week with lung trouble, which developed into 
pneumonia, whose ravages she could not resist. 

  Mrs. Butler leaves three small children, Holmes, Lucy and Margaret.  She was 
a sister of Mrs. Claude W. Wright, Mrs. W.J. Pettit and of the late John and 
Willis Riddick.  She was a clever young woman, of varied literary and social 
attainments. 

  The death is regarded as peculiarly sad because of the pretty young children 
and the devoted husband she leaves.

and Willis Riddick.
