                        MR. COVINGTON WEST DEAD

Mr. Covington West, well known in this place, died yesterday morning at 
Cantonsville, Md., after an illness of about two years.  His health began to 
decline little more than two years ago and later he went to the hospital above 
mentioned, where he remained and continued to grow worse until the end came 
yesterday.  The deceased was born in Portsmouth and was a son of the late John 
T. and Olivia West.  He lived in Portsmouth until 1873, when the family became 
residents of Berkley, where the deceased, lived until he left on account of his 
health.  He was a man most highly regarded by a large circle of friends and was 
bookkeeper for the firm of Jesse Jones & Son, Norfolk, for twenty-three years, 
which position he filled most creditably up to the time of his sickness.
In addition to a large circle of sorrowing friends, he leaves four brothers--
Messrs. J.T., Edward P., H.L. and E.J. West--and three sisters, Misses Mamie E. 
and Olivia A. West and Mrs. W.L Grubb.  All are residents of Berkley, with the 
exception of Mr. J.T. West, who is at Round Hill, Va., for his health.  A 
telegram was received yesterday morning of the demise and each of the members of 
the family were notified.  
Mr. H.L West left yesterday afternoon for Cantonsville to take charge of the 
remains which will arrive here Sunday morning.
The funeral will be conducted from the family residence, corner of Pine and 
Mulberry streets, Sunday afternoon at 5 o'clock and the interment will be in 
Magnolia Cemetery.
