ANNIE BLOUNT URQUHART

   Miss Annie Urquhart, of the prominent Southampton family of that name, 
died at her home, "Charlie's Hope" plantation, near Sebrell early Wednesday 
morning, following a stroke of paralysis sustained the previous evening. 
Miss Urquhart was the daughter of the late William Urquhart and her mother 
was before her marriage a Miss Goodwin of Greensville County.  She is 
survived by one sister, Miss Lucy Urquhart, a half-sister, Miss Pattie 
Urquhart, and a number of cousins.  Miss Urquhart was a member of a 
delightful household famous for its hospitality, and "Charlie's Hope" is 
one of the oldest plantations in this part of Virginia still remaining in 
the hands of the lineal descendants of its founder.

   Funeral services were held yesterday afternoon from St. Luke's Episcopal 
Church, Courtland, where Miss Urquhart had been a devout communicant for many 
years, the Rector, Rev. Jas. S. Watt, conduction the rites.  Interment was 
made in the family plot in Riverside Cemetery, Courtland, and the body bearers 
were: A.E. Briggs, R.R. Reese, and S.V. Camp of Sebrell; R.A. Pretlow and 
Barclay Pretlow of Franklin; Frank A. Holladay and John P. Lee of Suffolk and 
Dr. P.P. Causey of Sedley.  The honorary pallbearers were: E.R. Reese, Dr. 
Charles Grandy, Dr. R.L. Raiford, Edward Rogers, Dr. E.F. Reese, J.C. Causey,
