First Belle Then Social Queen Dies in Seclusion
Bertha Sherf, once Knoxville’s celebrated social leader, dies at home aged 83 after eighty years of luxury and isolation. For forty years she lived with her dogs and cats, seldom leaving the mansion, with Dr Kyle arranging to chloroform all her pets upon her death. A sister and scattered relics mark a life of wealth, wealth’s glare, and chosen solitude in a city mansion now shadowed by new structures.
