Southampton but now a resident of Norfolk, died at the residence, 1112 Redgate 
Avenue, Monday, in her 86th years.  She was a native of this county, the 
daughter of the late James Nicholas Bell, and was a most estimable woman,

N. Sebrell, Jr., of Norfolk and Charles H. Sebrell, of Lawrenceville; one 
half-brother, John N. Sebrell, Sr., of Courtland; twelve grandchildren, and

Sebrell, her oldest child, who was one of the county’s most distinguished 
citizens and Commonwealth’s Attorney for Southampton County at the time of his 
death.
