She was a few days over 70 years of age, and had been a resident of Roanoke for many years. She was a devoted christian [sic], and her influence will be felt upon her family and friends for years to come. Saturday afternoon impressive funeral services were conducted by her pastor, Rev H C RISNER, in the presence of a large congregation at the Baptist church. Thus passes away an aged and honored member of one of the largest and best families in this community. The many who now mourn for her -- and who ministered so tenderly to her -- may find comfort in the thought that her sufferings are forever past and that they may meet her again in a fairer clime. ---------------------------- LOCAL NEWS ---------------------------- R L FAUCETT, who was called home to attend his mother’s funeral Saturday, has returned to Prattville [Autauga Co., AL], while N S FAUCETT has returned to his home in Washington City [D.C.] During the enforced absence of Miss FAUCETT from the school room during several weeks her position as teacher was creditably filled by Miss Nora WRIGHT.
