“One Woman’s Opinion” served as a special feature of the Southside Sentinel for four decades, written by the late Urbanna resident Mary Wakefield Buxton. Traditionally a humorist, Mary has written a column on all subjects and sometimes in very serious vein. Along with writing a column for the Sentinel, she is also author of 15 books about life and love in Tidewater, Virginia.
