Mrs Vandegrift Dies in 103d Year
Funeral Services To Be At Abingdon Church Tomorrow Afternoon At Three
Mrs. Martha Page Vandegrift, 102 year old widow of Henry W. Vandegrift, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Alfred D Withers, "Severnby" Gloucester County, yesterday at 3. Funeral service will be at Abingdon tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock, with interment in the church cemetery.
Mrs. Vandegrift celebrated her 102 birthday April 10. It has been the custom of her friends and relatives to be present each year to tea with her. During the past years of her life, Mrs. Vandegrift has had a clear mind and showed an interest in current happenings remarkable for one her age.
Her memory was particularly clear for one her age, even during the last months of her life. She was an honorary member of the historical committee of the Gloucester Women's club which had been appointed to collect all available data on the history of the county.
Mrs. Vandegrift's husband was a pioneer railroad man prior to the War Between The States. After the war he moved to Gloucester. Mrs. Vandegrift was born at "The Cottage", at Ware Neck, which is now owned by Major Jeffrey Montague.
Mrs. Vandegrift was born April 10, 1832 at "The Cottage" on the Ware river in Gloucester county. She was a daughter of Mann Page and Mrs. Anne Jones Page.
She is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Alfred W Withers, of "Severnby," and Miss Anne Page Vandegrift, who also resides there, and four grandchildren, A. Dunham Withers and Mrs. Grafton Addison, both of Richmond, Mrs. Philip W Hamilton, of New York and mrs, R Bruce Warden, of Washington and by nine great grandchildren.
Mrs Vandegrift had attracted wide attention, not only for the prominence of her family in Virginia in history and her advanced age but for the interest she maintained in the affairs of today. She had keen faculties and was widely read, discussing with considerable understanding and information matters that concerned people of half century or more her juniors.
