The Norfolk Landmark May 10, 1887

AT REST - Mrs. Lydia C. Drummond, whose serious illness has been noted in 
Sunday's issue of the LANDMARK, expired at her home on the morning of that day 
at 10 o'clock, in presence of all her children, save one (Mr. Chas. Drummond), 
who was absent at Cobb's Island. Her sickness has been of a protracted and most 
painful nature, which she bore with heroic fortitude. Three sons and two 
daughters are left to mourn the loss of a mother, whose life was adorned by 
Christian virtues; and the absent one painfully realizes the fulfillment of his 
impression on the eve of his reluctant departure, that he should never see her 
in life again. Her funeral took place at her late residence yesterday at 4 1/2 
o'clock p.m. and the services were conducted by Rev. H. Butler, assisted by Rev. 
Robert Gatewood.
