MATILDA B. KELLO BURGES

   Mrs. Mattie Kello Burges died at the home of her brother, C.B. Kello, near 
Berlin, this county, February 27, in her 87th year.  Mrs. Burges, a woman of 
many exceptionally fine qualities, was the widow of Dr. Richard Urquhart 
Burges, a prominent physician and citizen of Southampton County many years 
ago.  She is survived by two brothers, Charles B. Kello of this county and 
Harry P. Kello of Crewe, Va.; by two step-daughters, Mrs. Guy O. Mason of 
Washington and Mrs. J.D. Barton of St. Petersburg, Fla.; a number of nieces 
and nephews, besides a host of friends.  She was also the mother of the late 
James Urquhart Burges of Suffolk, a lawyer of that city who numbered many 
friends in our town and county.  Mrs. Burges was truly a fine representative 
of the older citizens of our section, a woman clinging to the better 
traditions of old time, but keeping abreast with the new.

   Funeral rites were held from Millfield Baptist Church Thursday afternoon 
at 2 o’clock, conducted by Rev. George Kissinger, 3rd, pastor of Millfield, 
assisted by the Rev. Edward Laine.  Pallbearers were: Henry Felts, James 
Felts, Garland Davis, E. Jerome Raiford, J.B. Stephenson, Edgar V. Stephenson, 
W.C. Rawls and Providence Warren.  Burial was made in the family cemetery near 
Ivor.  Services were largely attended by many friends from the county and from 
Suffolk, Norfolk and Richmond.
