   Mrs. Caroline Virginia Norfleet, widow of the late Wilson Norfleet, died at 
her home in Main Street Monday morning at 7 o’clock in the 86th year of her 
age.

birth and marriage of some of the most prominent families of this section.

   Just a week ago Mrs. Norfleet sustained a painful fall, and steadily failed 
until the end came Monday.  She was for years a member of Main St. M.E. 
Church.  She is survived by one son, E.A. Norfleet; four daughters; Mrs. E. 
Smith, of Suffolk, Mrs. William Whaley, of Norfolk, Mrs. C.W. Jenkins and Miss 
Lillian Norfleet of Suffolk; seven grandchildren and two great grandchildren.

   The funeral services were held at the residence on Main Street Tuesday 
afternoon at 4 o’clock and were conducted by Rev. J.F. Coleman, rector of St. 
Paul’s P.E. Church, assisted by Rev. R.M. Maxey, pastor of Main St. M.E. 
Church.

   The active pall-bearers were E.M.C. Quimby, Charles Hutchins, Wallace 
Kilby, G. Lloyd Bell, John C. Holladay and W.S. Cross.

   Honorary - Judge James L. McLemore, [...], R. Prentis, Dr. W.D. Wood, R.R. 
Allen, Joseph P. Hall, William Eley, and Col. J.E. West.

   The body was interred in Cedar Hill cemetery.

   The floral offerings were beautiful and many, attesting the esteem in which 
the deceased was held.
