From a bio of Hugh Norvell, evidently written by his daughter, Frances:
"Hugh Young Norvell, second son of George and Martha Norvell, born in Virginia, grew up in Tennessee; in 1865 he went to Cincinnati, Ohio, and became bookeeper for the large wholesale house of Kuhn, Netter & Co,., and was with them for four years, and won the highest confidence and esteem of the firm.
That year, 1865, two Nashville girls, Mattie and Maria Couch, and two Kentucky girls, Josephine and Manti Valentine, went to Cincinnati to enter Wesleyan College: the Couch girls, and the Valentine girls had never heard of each other, and never met until they met at the College.

Hugh Young Norvell and Josephine Valentine were married on Tuesday, July 2, 1867, at 8 p.m., at the Methodist Church at Bowling Green, Kentucky.
They boarded with a relative at Newport, Kentucky, but after my arrival in the family, they decided to keep house, and rented a house in Newport: father slept at the house while mother went down to Bowling Green for a little visit. The plaster in the house hadn't dried, father caught cold, had congestion of the lungs, and developed tuberculosis. In August 1869 the doctor ordered him to go farther south, so he went back to Nashville, and became bookeeper for T. H. Jones & Co., and held that position until his death on Saturday, November 20, 1870, age 25 years, 5 months, 10 days.
He was survived by a wife and two daughters, the youngest named Martha Young for his mother, died July 27, 1887, aged 16 years, 4 months, 1 day.
