Obituary of Short Florence Powers

A SAD DEATH

One of the saddest deaths that has occurred in Columbia for a long time was that 
of Miss Short Florence Powers, daughter of Mrs. Vesta Powers, on Sunday evening 
last about 7 o'clock.  Miss Powers was a victim of that dreaded disease, consumption, 
and for many months had been confined to her home and for the past three months had 
been confined to her bed, patiently waiting for the end.   She died resigned, and 
even happy, glad to be released from her sufferings, and with a sweet, firm faith 
in a happier future beyond this life.  She was about twenty years of age, and leaves 
a mother, three sisters and a brother to mourn her untimely death.  her father and an 
elder sister died a few years since.  The funeral took place monday evening and the 
remains were followed to the grave by a large number of friends.
