C. W. Powell Taken By Death On Today 

  C.W. Powell, one of the oldest and best-known farmers of Nansemond county, 
died this morning at 7:40 o'clock at his home on the Pitchkettle road, after 
an illness extending over two years and which forced him to take to his bed 
about eight weeks ago.  Mr. Powell was born in Isle of Wight county but had 
long lived in Nansemond.  He was never married. 

  He is survived by his sisters, Mrs. C.J. Smith and Miss Mamie Powell, with 
whom he lived, and Mrs. Martha Oliver, also of Nansemond.  Mr. Powell had long 
been a member of Bethany Christian Church, and while the burial will be in the 
county, funeral arrangements have not been completed.
