Notes for LILLIE BELLE DELBRIDGE:
In a Sept. 30, 1956 article in the Richmond Times Dispatch, the following article ran:

Headline: 'Mom, Meet Grandmother'
Headline: Local Woman Meets Mother After 49 Years

By Bob Preston

Mrs. Nora Ladd, 50, of 1632 Glenfield Avenue, met her mother yesterday.

The introduction was made by Mrs. Ladd's daughter, Mrs. R.J. Eanes of 2304 Pettis Road.

Mrs. Ladd, besides meeting her mother, learned she had six brother and sisters.

Mrs. Ladd's mother, Mrs. Lillie Belle Sherian of Louisburg, N.C. learned she has seven grandchildren she had not know about.

It was Mrs. Eanes police work that led to the discovery of these additional branches on the family tree.

Mrs. Ladd explained that when she was an infant her parents separated and she was brought up by her father.

Eventually, she married and moved to Richmond. She had not seen or heard from her mother during the past 49 years.

Mrs. Ladd's daughter, Mrs. Eanes said that she had always wanted to find her grandmother and, two weeks ago, decided to do something about it.

First, she went to her grandmother's birthplace in Brunswick County. There, she made inquiries among older people in the area.

She found a woman who remembered her grandmother and had corresponded with her.

Last Sunday, armed with the name and addresses of her grandmother, she went to Mrs. Sherian's home in North Carolina.

"It was sort of a shock for her to have an unknown granddaughter drop in," Mrs. Eanes said.

Mrs. Eanes asked Mrs. Sherian to come to Richmond and visit her long-lost daughter.

Plan are now under way for a family reunion so an accurate count of relatives can be made.
