The Norfolk Landmark August 12, 1881

It is with sadness we record the death of Miss Josephine Simpson, which 
unexpected event occurred at the residence of her parents, on Second Street, 
yesterday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock. In the daily walks of this young lady she 
ever exhibited these traits which marked her as a special favorite of her 
associates; and the home circle, of which she was the life and centre upon which 
the love and affection of her devoted parents, brothers and sisters converged, 
are left to realize that the cheerful voice of Phiney has ceased to echo through 
the halls of that once happy home, now desolate.  Nor can we scarcely realize 
that less than thirty-six hours have elapsed between the moment when we 
acknowledged her maidenly, modest recognition on the street and the moment when 
we bore her lifeless form, wrapped in the chilly embrace of Death, to the couch 
from which she will be borne forever. To her bereaved parents we tender our 
sincere condolence.

The funeral of Miss Josephine Simpson, third daughter of Samuel Simpson, Esq., 
occurred at St. Paul's Chapel, (of which the deceased was an exemplary member) 
yesterday morning at 10 o'clock. The rector, the Rev. Robert Gatewood, conducted 
the services in the beautiful and impressive language of the Episcopal ritual 
for the dead, after which the remains were borne from the chancel to the hearse 
by her young friends in life, Messrs. Richard Tatem, Thomas Lilliston, Arthur 
Worthington, Lewis Jones, Edward Tatem and Ernest Graves, and by them deposited 
in the silent tomb, where quietly she rests from her labors, awaiting the moment 
of a reunion with the loved ones of earth.
