GEORGE WASHINGTON SEBRELL 

   George W. Sebrell died Sunday, May 14, in the home of Mr. and Mrs. S.V. 
Camp, in his 88th year.  He was a native of Southampton County and lived the 
greater part of his life in this community and in Courtland and had made his 
home for several months with Mr. and Mrs. S.V. Camp.  The deceased had been 
in ill-health for several years and though he suffered intensely at times, 
bore his afflictions patiently and bravely to the end.

   Mr. Sebrell never married and made his home with his brother, Hon. James 
E. Sebrell of Courtland, until the latter moved to Norfolk.  He was a man 
of quiet, unobtrusive nature and upright character.  Burial services were 
conducted at the grave in the Sebrell cemetery Monday afternoon at 2:30 
o’clock, services being read by Rev. J.E. Brooks.  A large concourse of 
relatives and friends were present to pay their last tribute of respect. 
The floral offerings were beautiful, covering the entire mound.

   Mr. Sebrell is survived by two brothers, Hon. James E. Sebrell of Norfolk 
and Jno. N. Sebrell, Sr., of Courtland, besides a number of nieces and nephews 
in this and other counties.  Those who attended the funeral from a distance 
were Hon. James E. Sebrell and family of Norfolk, Mrs. J.E. Moyler and Edward 
Moyler of Franklin, Charlie H. Sebrell, June Everett of Emporia, Va. and Mrs. 
John N. Sebrell, Sr., of Courtland.
