BESSIE NEWCOMB
In loving remembrance of
Miss Bessie Newcomb, who departed her life on this earth, September 6th, 1925,
to enter life Eternal.
She was precious to all
who knew her; precious to her parents, because of her obedience and
thoughtfulness along things that caused happiness to them; precious to her
sisters and brothers because of her constant care and sweet tenderness aid
precious to her friends for her loyalty and truth.
Those who knew her best
loved her best. She became a member of Salem Christian Church in her young life
and since proved the secret of her wonderful Christian life. She lived
her Christian life in every act and thought.
She was 22 years of age
when her summons came and to the end she was active in all church and Sunday
School work. To her class she was faithful and in her work she displayed
the untiring spirit and wishing all others to know more about Jesus and gaining
this knowledge she felt she was making others happy. She used every
opportunity to do something for her Blessed Master.
She was placed in her
resting place at Salem Christian Church September 7th, the church she loved and
worked all of her life and the entire community is suffering the great loss of
such a beautiful character, but not without hope, for we believe her blessed
spirit is forever with the Lord, whom she served and to whom she belonged while
here on earth.
Bessie was pure in heart
and life and some of her last words while here on earth were: "Blood of
Christ will wash our sins away." While her Christian influence will be
greatly missed and we can't help but want her with us, we feel our loss here on
earth is God's eternal gain in Heaven.

Obit: SARAH HUNDLEY NORVELL
On the twenty-eighth day of March, 1928, at her home at Charlotte Court
House,
Virginia, at an advanced age, surrounded by her children whom she had
tenderly
and lovingly watched over during the years gone by, there passed Sarah
Hundley
Norvell, the widow of William Dabney Norvell, who preceded her many
years to the
world beyond.
Mrs. Norvell's death brings sorrow to many who will ever remember the
kind and
friendly greeting she always extended, and the genuine bountiful
christian
hospitality of the home over which she so beautifully and graciously
presided.
Truly can it be said of her that she always observe the bibilical
injunction:
"Use hospitality one to another without grudging."
Mrs.
Norvell is the last in Charlotte County who represented the older
culture
of civilization of the South, the like of which will not be seen again.
Each of those whom she reared may with genuine gratitude claim, "Yes, I
have a good heritage." Sarah Watkins Hundley, fourth child of Elisha
Estes Hundley and Elizabeth
Bouldin, was born at Fruit Hill, the home of her father, September 5,
1836. She
was therefore in her ninety-second year at the time of her death.
She was married on the eighth day of January, 1862, to William Dabney
Norvell,
of Lynchburg. The whole of her life, except a short period in Richmond
and in
Lunenburg during the Civil War, was spent in Charlotte County among
those who
will ever hold her in loving remembrance. Her husband, William Dabney
Norvell,
was the son of Edmund Butler Norvell, the third, and was born in
Lynchburg on
March 6, 1862. He died February 2, 1903. He was a descendant of William
Norvell, "gentleman, who with his two brothers, came to America from
Scotland about 1620, landing at Williamsburg, Virginia."
William Norvell was a civil engineer and laid off the town of
Williamsburg, and
was one of its incorporators. He was a member of the vestry of old
Bruton
Church, one of the oldest churches in America. He also served along
with his
brothers Hugh and Thomas in the House of Burgesses. Mrs. Norvell's
father, Mr. Elisha Hundley, a greatly respected and honored man
who came to Charlotte County from Halifax, married the daughter of
James
Bouldin, who was the grandson of Col. Thomas Bouldin, the old pioneer
who
settled at Golden Hills, then Lunenburg County in the year 1740.
Two of Mrs. Norvell's children Charles and Haywood, died years ago.
There
survive her: Elizabeth, Lucy, Elisha, William Dabney, Jr., Edmund
Butler, Susan
Hobson, Sallie, Caskie, and Anne. All of these were at her bedside
except Elisha and Edmund, who arrived a few
hours after their mother's death.
