Virginian Pilot and The Norfolk Landmark October 6, 1918

Mrs. Edith Gibbs Nelson, wife of Second Lieutenant C. Saintclair Nelson, aged 21 
years, died yesterday morning at 3:15 o'clock at the residence of her parents, 
Mr. and Mrs. C.B. Gibbs, Arlington avenue, Campostella Heights, after a brief 
illness of Spanish influenza, which developed into double pneumonia.
Mrs. Nelson was a native of Berkley, had lived here all of her life, and a more 
beautiful character is seldom found.  She was married only six months ago.  Her 
husband, Lieutenant Nelson, was called to the colors and was until lately 
stationed at Camp Lee.  He came home only a few days ago suffering from 
influenza, with which many are afflicted at this time.  He soon began improving 
and has sufficiently recovered to be out.
Mrs. Nelson was an active member of Memorial Methodist Church and was also an 
active Red Cross worker.
In addition to her husband and parents, Mr. and Mrs. C.B. Gibbs, she is survived 
by a brother, Warner Gibbs, at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute.  The funeral 
services will be conducted at the residence Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock and 
burial will be in the family lot in Magnolia Cemetery.
