pained on Sunday afternoon by the announcement of the death of Mrs. Sam J.

but it was not generally known that her condition was serious. Prior to her marriage she was Miss Maggie E. King, and leaves
a large family connection.
The remains were interred in the cemetery
this afternoon at 3 o’clock, services being conducted at the residence on
Commerce Street.
A large concourse of friends
and relatives followed the remains to their final resting place. The pallbearers were Geo. E. Sanders, E.
M. Eddins, T. J. Kemper, W. J. Freddie, G. L. Viridet and S. R. Hemphill.
