Lynchburg, Va, Jan 5. - Miss Nora Ellen Lee, a public school teacher of Campbell county, died this evening at 6:30 o'clock, at the home of her father, J L Lee, near Lynch Station, as the result of an accident by which her throat was cut. It seems that at 12:30 today her brother, Lewis, aged 14, was amusing himself flinging his knife at the school house, and just as he made one of those flings his sister came around the house and the knife struck her in the throat, causing a serious wound. The physicians were summoned, but could not save her life.

Normal School News
Athens, W Va, Jan 17. - A gloom was cast over the faculty and student body when the news came that one who had so recently been among us had died very suddenly. Miss Nora Lee, a graduate in the class of 1915, of Concord Normal School, and a girl of about twenty years of age, met death January 2, 1917, in a very tragic manner. She was teaching her home school in Virginia, and while there, some of the school boys were engaged in throwing knives against the school building, and as Miss Lee came around the corner of the building an uncontrolled knife stabbed her in the neck, cutting one of the large veins. She lived only a short time after the accident. Miss Lee was well known and liked by all of her many friends who knew her.
