Virginian Pilot and The Norfolk Landmark May 10, 1927

                          VENERABLE WOMAN CLAIMED BY DEATH

  Mrs. Laura H. McAlpine, Pioneer Resident, Succumbs To Illness At Age of 92

Mrs. Laura Herbert McAlpine widow of Dr. James Newton McAlpine, and one of the 
best known women in Norfolk, died at her home 424 Warren Crescent, yesterday 
morning at 11:55 o'clock at the age of 92. A native of Princess Anne County and 
daughter of Edward Henry Herbert and Rebecca Tatem Herbert, Mrs. McAlpine had 
made her home in Norfolk for 50 years.
As a teacher at the Norfolk College for Ladies on Granby Street for many years, 
there came under her instruction and genial influence many pupils who now are 
women of prominence in the city. As a charter member of the Woman's Club of 
Norfolk and at the time of her death, an honorary member of that organization, 
and as a member of the Princess Anne County Woman's Club, Mrs. McAlpine was 
keenly interested in all civic matters, and during recent years has kept in 
close touch with affairs of the city and world generally.
The wife of a Confederate soldier, Mrs. McAlpine was endowed with all those 
traits and traditions characteristic of true Southern womanhood. Surviving her 
are two daughters, Mrs. Daisy Harwood, of St. Brides and Miss Rebecca McAlpine, 
of Norfolk; one granddaughter, Mrs. Ellie McAlpine Jones; two great-
grandchildren, Mrs. R.J. Codd and Miss Marjorie McAlpine Jones; one great-great-
granddaughter, Annie McAlpine Codd and one brother, Anmer Tatem Herbert.
Funeral services will be held tomorrow at 12 o'clock noon at the residence of a 
nephew, H.C. Hoggard, 413 West York Street, conducted by the Rev. D.N. 
McLauchlin, D.D., pastor of the Second Presbyterian Church of which Mrs. 
McAlpine was a member, and the Rev. H.H. Covington, D.D., rector of Old St. 
Paul's Episcopal Church.  Interment will be in Elmwood Cemetery.
