Zackariah Taylor Shell of Henrico County, June 26, 1848 - July 17, 1925

Richmond Times-Dispatch, July 19, 1925:
"Z. T. SHELL - Funeral services for Z. T. Shell, 77, who died Friday at his home on Parham Road, Henrico County, will be conducted at Ridge Church this afternoon at 4 o'clock. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Ellen Shell, and two daughters, Mrs. Lizzie Browning and Mrs. Lillian King; two sisters and two grandchildren."

Richmond Times-Dispatch, July 19, 1925:
"SHELL - Died at his residence, on Parham Road, Henrico County, Friday, July 17, 1925, at 10:30 P. M., Z. T. Shell, aged 77. He leaves to mourn their loss a devoted wife, Mrs. Ellen Shell, and two daughters, Mrs. Lizzie Browning and Mrs. Lillian King; two grandchildren, Kathryn Browning and Arthur Ford; also two sisters, Mrs. Alice Burnett and Mrs. Amanda Brown. Funeral from Ridge Church, Sunday evening at 4 o'clock. A precious one from us has gone. A voice we loved is stilled. A vacant place in our home, Which never can be filled. Asleep in Jesus."

I called Ridge Baptist Church but they do not have records indicating the location of Zackariah's burial.
