In Memoriam.
Died. at the residence Of her sister, Mrs
Joseph b. GoTren, in Culpeper, Va, NO
venber 1895, Miss ISABELLA NJ NEAL
NORRIS. in the 18th year OF her age, al
ter an Illness Of three weeks, patiently
waiting the call OF her Heavenly Father
The morning and noon OK life being
passed. she was sitting in the twilight
waiting for the sunset and the stars
She was n member Of an old Virginia
familv-the daughter of Robert Norris
Of Culpeper; granddaughter Of Richard
Norris. Of Lancaster, the first home az
the Norrises in this country, they having
settled there IN the seventeenth century
from England. She lost her mother wheh
quite young. Being the eldest or large
family, her responsibilities were great Tor
one OF her age. Her brothers and sisters
grew up to be influential men and women
Those who survive her are: Mrs. :. Is.
Gorrell. of Virginia; John Richard Norris,
az California, and James L. Norris. OF
Utah. Her sister, Mrs. Cooper, or Mem
phls. Tenn. died very recently; also, her
brother, Edward, a prominent citizen OF
Baltimore. Another brother, Walker, died
some years ago.
During the civil war, when the cannon
and the rifle were doing their awful work
and the wounded and dying were brought
into Culpeper, she was among the first TO
give herielf 10 the cause of caring for the
BOYS of both the Gray and the Blue, re-
ceiving the blessing of many dying nero
as well as the last message 70 some as
tant mother and sister. In her noond1ys
she took an active interest in everything
pertaining TO her church-the Baptist
built on or near the spot where two minis
ters were imprisoned in early days Tor
preaching that faith. Many a time has
she taken her Sunday-school class to visit
some sick member. to sing and to pray.
She took a great interest in the tenn
perance cause, and the young men or her
town. II did her heart good 10 hear OF
the success Of Culpeper boy. When the
evening Of life came and she could no
longer take an active part she would sl'
and do fancy work that she might with
| her own hands assist the Orphans Home
In which she took a great interest. She
was n lady OF refined taste. and loved the
beauties OF nature.
Her funeral was largely attended by
relatives and friends. and her casket was
covered with beautiful flowers.
81 have walked through the valley-I am
weary.
Let me lay my poor head on thy
breast
! The way has been lonely and dreary,
And / long just for rcst-slmple rest.
Take my hand In thy own,
Fold ma close in thy arms;
Let me sleep all unconscious OF present
! alarms,
Fer I'm weary. The light has gone ou'
In the west,
And l yoarn for repose, dreamIess
sleep, simple rest" j. X. n.
