Norfolk Post, September 2, 1865
Death of an Estimable Lady - With deep regret we announce the death of Miss 
Maria Kerr, (aged 81), at the residence of her affectionate and sorrowing 
nephew, W. W. Lamb, Esq. She died on Thursday night, after a long and painful 
illness, which she endured with true Christian fortitude, and looked with 
pleasure to her call from earthly suffering to "that undiscovered country from 
whose bourne no traveller returns," "where the wicked cease to troubling and 
the weary are at rest."

This estimable lady's funeral sermon was delivered with an unusual and 
impressive solemnity of purpose, by the Rev. N. E. Okerson, at Christ Church, 
yesterday afternoon. The remains of the deceased were followed from the Church 
by the numerous friends of the family, and her sorrowing relatives, to the 
family ground in the Cedar Grove Cemetery to repose with those "who have gone 
before."
