Virginian-Pilot February 5, 1911
Mrs. Roberta A. Gregory, mother of Geo. B. Gregory and Mrs. Joseph R. Small, 
both of this city, died at the home of her daughter, No. 11 Grigsby Place, at 4 
o'clock yesterday morning, after an illness of one week from paralysis. She was 
in the 75th year of her age. The deceased was a native of Southampton county, 
Va., and before her marriage was a Miss Phipps, a daughter of the late Joseph 
Phipps who captured Nat Turner, the negro insurrectionist, in 1832. After the 
death of her father, she made her home in Petersburg, where she resided until 
the close of the War between the States when she came to Norfolk and made her 
home with her son-in-law, with whom she resided until her death. She was a woman 
of lovely traits of character, of gentle and amiable disposition and a 
consistent Christian, having been a member of the Methodist church from early 
womanhood and was admired and esteemed by a large circle of friends. Besides her 
son, Geo. B. Gregory, and her daughter, Mrs. Joseph R. Small, she is survived by 
several grandchildren and other relatives, all of Norfolk.
The funeral will be held from the residence of her son-in-law, Joseph R. Small, 
11 Grigsby Place, at 3 o'clock this afternoon and will be conducted by her 
pastor, Rev. R. Finley Gayle, of the Cumberland street Methodist church; Rev. J. 
J. Bradford, of the Queen street Methodist church, and Rev. G. W. Perryman, 
D.D., of the First Baptist church. The interment will be made in Elmwood 
cemetery.
Following will be the pallbearers: Len. Simmons, Jas. H. Kegebein, John E. 
Burke, Walter Williamson, Robert Stephen, John Barns.
