Brief funeral services for j. Nor
mcnt Powell, who died Sunday at the

y number OF the friends of Mr. Pow.
ell in Richmond attended the services
last night. Mr.. Powell was regarded
as one OF the most successful attor-
neys OF his age in Virginia. His sue
cess at the bar was immediate, and
before he was twenty-five he had n
large income. His practice extended
over nine States. and through his pro-
fcssional and business connection he
came in contact with many Of the
leaders in the business and financial
world of New York. Mr.. Powell was
the principal attorney in the trcmcn-
dous project of the building of the
road and in the development of the
immense ore properties of the Clinch-
field field, which is yet largely virgin

Mr.. Powell also took keen inter
est in public affairs. In 1912 he was
a presidential electorate large in this
state. and 1t is generally regarded as
n fact that he could at any time with
in recent years have had the Demo-
cratic nomination for Congress in the
Ninth District for the asking. How
ever. he was never candidate for
Office The news OF his death came as
a profound shock everywhere in South
west Virginia and in adjoining States.
