  [Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.] 
          PETERSURG, July 9, 1888. 
  Dr. S. B. Kello, a prominent physician 
and planter of Southampton, and one of the 
most honored citizens of the county, died 
quite suddenly Sunday at his resi- 
dence a few miles from Ivor.  His age was 
about sixty-five years.  No man was better 
known and more generally beloved in the 
South-Side section than Dr. Kello.  He was 
the type of the Virginia gentleman- the 
very soul of honor, courteous to all, and 
generous to a fault.  His house was the 
scene of genuine hospitality  which was ex- 
tended to all.  Dr. Kello leaves a widow and 
several children.  Some of the children are 
in the far West.
