    • (1) Undated obituary from an unknown newspaper:

      On the 4th inst occurred the death of Mrs. Nettie Zion, at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Shelladay, 4 miles northeast of New London. Mrs. Zion was just recovering from a severe spell of sickness which had confined her to bed for several weeks, when she was again stricken down, this time with stroke of paralysis. In this, her last illness, she was unable to speak during the entire time, covering a space of more than 4 months, and a great portion of that time could not turn herself in bed. The funeral took place at the church at Pleasant Grove, yesterday, and the remains laid to rest by the side of her last husband in the cemetery at that place. The services were conducted by Rev. Mr. Carter, of the C.P. church, of which she was also a member. She was born in Buckingham county, VA, Aug. 27th 1805. Was married to Wm. Williams, Aug. 1823, who died in 1833. Married again in July 1836 to Jacob Zion, who died Sept. 1869. Her first marriage was blessed with six children, two of whom are yet alive, and three by her second, one of whom survives his mother.
