Virginian Pilot July 9, 1910

                       FELL ON STAIRS DIED OF APOPLEXY
                 Mrs. Elizabeth M. Privott Succumbs Quickly  

As she was descending a flight of stairs in the home of her nephew, Lemuel 
Privott, 717 Chestnut Street, at 2:45 o'clock yesterday afternoon, Mrs. 
Elizabeth Margaret Privott, aged 74 years, fell and was seized with a stroke of 
apoplexy, which caused her death in a few minutes.
She came over from her home in Berkley a few days ago to visit her nephew and 
was in the best of health and spirits up to the very moment of her mishap. She 
ate heartily of her dinner a short time before and seemed to be enjoying good 
health and was quite active for her age.
As she was coming down the stairs she had descended all but three steps when she 
fell. Her cries and the noise of the fall attracted members of the household who 
ran to her. It was apparent to them then that she was suffering from some 
ailment and Dr. Claud was summoned but before he reached the house Mrs. Privott 
was dead.
She is survived by a daughter, Mrs. Mollie Keeter, of Berkley and two sons, also 
of the same place, Thomas and John H. Privott. Another son, W.J. Privott, lives 
in Columbia, N.C. Mrs. Privott was the widow of Samuel Privott.
The funeral service will take place at 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon in the 
residence of her nephew in this city.
