The funeral took place on Friday afternoon at Old St. Paul's church, of which she was a devoted member. The burial service was read by Bishop Beverley D. Tucker. The pallbearers were Messrs. Conway Whittle Sams, Henry N. Castle, Frank N. Masi, Charles Dey, B. Page Marsden, Charles B Wilson, T. Seaton West and Lawrence Tucker. Interment was in Elmwood cemetery. Miss Jacot was born in Paris, France, in 1845 and spent her early life there and in Neufchatel Switzerland. On the death of her father in 1865, she came to America. For many years she taught in the Woman's college of Elmira, New York, afterwards in the Mary Baldwin Seminary at Staunton, Va. In 1892, she came to Norfolk as teacher of French in the Phillips and West school for girls and in Mrs. Julia R. Smith's school. Miss Jacot's sterling qualities and happy, cheerful disposition gained the affection of her pupils and of a large circle of friends, by whom she will be sadly missed. Though a native of France, she adopted America as her country and loved it with her whole heart. She left no relatives.
