The Norfolk Daily Landmark September 18, 1888 

Sunday - Mrs. Charles W. Topping, after many weary months of suffering, which 
she bore with great fortitude, passed to her reward at her home on Berkley 
Avenue. The disease with which she suffered was of a dropsical character and its 
arrest proved beyond the reach of medical science. She leaves several children, 
two of whom are grown. Her funeral took place at the Chestnut Street M.E. Church 
yesterday afternoon at 5 o'clock and the services were conducted by the pastor, 
Rev. B.F. Lipscomb.

                                 In Memoriam

The anniversary of the death of Mrs. Sarah E. Topping, the late beloved wife of 
Mr. C.W. Topping, of Berkley, was beautifully observed at the grave in that 
village yesterday in which her children and a large number of friends 
participated. The floral offerings, mainly contributed by her son, Mr. C.W. 
Topping, of Berkley, and her daughter, Mrs. Jennie Fatherly, of Broad Creek, 
were exceedingly appropriate and the occasion, while a sad one, afforded those 
near and dear unto her great comfort. The exercises consisted of singing and 
prayer, led by Mrs. R. Weaver, of the above village.

                                   "Rest in Peace"

Norfolk Virginian September 17, 1889
