Religious Herald, Richmond, Virginia September 10, 1896:
"Beal - On August 20, 1896, at her home near Scottsville, Va., passed from this life to a happy immortality. Miss LELIA T. BEAL. How precious the memory of a light so bright! For weeks she suffered, but not one murmuring word escaped her lips. She was only "so tired." Her life had early been consecrated to the service of the gentle Saviour, and so calm, so peaceful was her end that we can but believe he met her on the other shore, and tenderly led her home, where there is rest forevermore. "How happy those who live and die like her, loved with such love, and with such sorrow mourned!" ONE WHO LOVED HER."
