Obituary
Idella West Silva, of Culpeper, VA, passed away Tuesday, November 23, 2010 at her residence. She was born to Pauline and Dent West, June 4, 1919 in Fairmont, WV, the eldest of thirteen children.
The family moved from Fairmont to Mitchells, VA, where Idella graduated from Mitchell's High School in 1937 and worked in retail for many years. Her marriage, in 1940, to Maury W. Fincham, provided one son, Maury W. Fincham, Jr.
