Mrs. Walter S. Upshur
Sad Death of This Highly Esteemed Young Lady

Mrs. Rosalie Upshur, wife of Mr. Walter S. Upshur, of this city, died yesterday morning in Fredericksburg.
In the death of Mrs. Upshur Norfolk loses one of its noblest
and brightest young women, one who in every walk of life was greatly beloved; a leader in social circles that was a delight and pleasure to many admirers, a friend whenever a friend was needed, a woman whose young life was full of good deeds and charities, and one whose beautiful Christian character was so happily blended with every feature of her daily walk in life that the mention of her name was the synonym of love and praise and the embodiment of all the virtues which combine to make a woman.

Sad Visit Indeed
The news of the death of Mrs. Upshur cast a gloom over the city, where she has spent her young life and
where she was greatly beloved. About three weeks ago she left here on a visit to her friend, Miss Hurkamp, of Fredericksburg. Shortly after her arrival in
that city she was taken sick and never recovered. Everything that loving hands could do or skilled physicians suggest was done, but without avail, and at 6:10
yesterday morning her spirit passed quietly and peacefully away to the God who gave it. Surrounded by husband, mother and friends, she yielded to the great summons and with a smile bade adieu to her loved ones.

Daughter of Major Selden

Mrs. Upshur was in the prime of young womanhood, being about
twenty-eight years of age. She was a daughter of the late Major Miles Selden, who was one of the most prominent citizens of Norfolk. She is survived by her husband and mother, Mrs. Elizabeth T. Selden, and three sisters and two brothers, Mrs. Baxter of Elizabeth City, N.C.; Misses May and Pattie Selden, of this city, and Messrs. Arthur T. Selden, of Baltimore, and John Selden, of
Holyoke, Mass.
The remains will be brought here for interment. The funeral
will take place Sunday, the time and place to be announced later.
