Norfolk Journal and Guide,Saturday,Apr 3,1926
The funeral of Mrs. Estelle Jeffress who died at her home Saturday morning, 
March 20, was held at the First Baptist Church Lambert’s Point Wednesday, March 
24, at 2 p.m.

Mrs. Jeffress had been a resident of Lambert’s Point approximately 25 years. She 
was widely known throughout the vicinity of Norfolk and made a host of friends 
wherever she went. She was a consistent member of the First Baptist Church of 
Lambert’s Point about 20 years and took the leading part in every phase of 
church work. At one time she was the most prominent and leading songster in the 
senior choir. There was not an organization in the church she failed to give her 
assistance.

She also played a very prominent part in her organizations namely: Arabia Court 
No. 23, Daughters of Isis, Lydia Temple No. 1; G. U. Order of Tents; St. 
Joseph’s Court No. 1 of Married men’s P. Association; Daughter Elks; Hines 
Success Council No. 848, St. Lukes and Eastern Star Lodge.

Mrs. Jeffress was confined to her home for several months, but her death was 
still a shock to the community. Many beautiful eulogies and floral designs were 
contributed. Rev. D. Jennings officiated. An appropriate duet was sung by 
Mesdames Nettie Shambry and Marie Grifin; a solo was rendered by a Daughter Elk. 
Mr. David Alston assisted in funeral arrangement and others. Interment was in 
Calvary Cemetery.
