• Notes

  The Highland Recorder, Monterey, VA, Friday, 12 Jun 1925, p. 3, col. B MISS NANCY CATHERINE BLAGG was born Nov. 26, 1844, at Doe Hill, Va., and died June ,21925[sic], at Clarendon, Va., the home of her niece, Mrs. George Brooks, with whom she had nade her home in recent years. Most of her long life was spent at the place of her birth, and all who knew her can testify to her Christian character, her kindness and helpfulness, especially in the sick room where she was always ready to minister to the suffering, or to help in any way. She was converted in early life, and joined the M. E. C. South. She loved the Sunday school and was always in her place there unless prevented by illness. She was a faithful member of the Doe Hill Missionary and Aid Societies until her removal from the neighborhood. It may be truly said of her: "She hath done what she could." Her remains were brought to Doe Hill for interment. Mrs. Brook and three children, and Rev. A. S. Blagg, of Philadelphia, accompanied the body. Funeral services were conducted on Friday, June 5th, by Rev. F. L. Morrison assisted by Rev. L. L. Lowance. The active ball-bearers were Randolph and Josiah Eagle, Ray Samples, Abner Blagg, Mason Armstrong and Ernest Hoover. The honorary pallbearers were, C. P. Waybright, W. H. Wilson, W. H. Samples and W. R. Pullin. The large concourse of people attending the funeral attested to the esteem in which she was held. The floral offering was beautiful. Mrs. Brook expected to return to her home yesterday, but her younger son developed measles, which will detain her for several days.
