                         Death of Mrs. Thomas Kevill

The family of Capt. Thomas Kevill sits in the shadow of a great sorrow today. 
Death has crossed the threshold and carried away in its cold embrace the wife 
and mother, and loving hearts are overwhelmed with grief.
The death of this estimable lady occurred at Virginia Beach yesterday afternoon, 
where she had gone with the hope of regaining her health and although she had 
been ill for some time, it was not believed that the end was so near. In fact, 
the hope was that the invigorating breeze of the ocean and the best medical 
attention, coupled with the loving care of her devoted family, would prolong her 
life, if indeed not restore her to health, but alas, suddenly and unexpectedly 
the summons came and her spirit returned to the bosom of her God who gave it. 
Who can measure the depth of a mother's love, or the loss of a mother's care? 
The subject of this notice was the beloved wife of Capt. Thomas Kevill, the 
mother of Mrs. M. Glennan and Mrs. James E. Allen, whom she leaves, together 
with two sons, to mourn her loss. She was a lady of a beautiful Christian 
character and all who read this notice will be pained to hear of her death. Her 
remains will be brought from the Beach this morning and at 10 o'clock tomorrow 
(Friday) morning her funeral will take place from St. Mary's Catholic Church.
