She was a lady widely known for her hsopitality and Christian character and was descended from a family of prominent Virginians.
She was a daughter of the late John B. Blair, cashier of the old Farmers Bank for many years before the war, and granddaughter of the celebrated "Parson" Blair, a well-known Presbyterian minister of seventy-five years ago, who often exchanged pulpits with Parson Buchanan, the pastor of St. John's church. Her mother before her marriage was a Miss Heron, of Norfolk.
Mrs. Harvie leaves quite a large family - three daughters, Mrs. Dr. A. G. Taylor, Mrs. George Taylor, and Miss Josephine Harvie, of Amelia, and six sons: Colonel Edwin J. of Washington, who was a prominent Confederate officer; John B., C. E., Seddon of Christiansburg, Montgomery county; William Ould, Strother, and Charles.
Another son was killed during the late war at Winchester, and lies buried in the old Harvie section at Hollywood. Over his grave is written the well-known epitaph supposed to have been composed by Rev. Dr. Moses Hoge, and a noble tribute to his memory:
"Qui bene pro patria cum patriaque jacent."
The remains will be brought to Richmond over the Danville road and will reach here at 3:30 PM, and will be taken directly to Hollywood. Services at Hollywood.
