At 5 o’clock yesterday morning Mrs J T B AWBREY passed from the scenes of time. She had been very ill for some ten days previous. Mrs AWBREY was a faithful wife and a most devoted mother. She did a noble part by her family, and now that she has gone from the cares of life to peaceful rest, these sorrowing ones will realize that they have lost a friend whose place cannot be filled. A husband and seven children survive her. An old neighbor said of her: “She did not make much fuss in the world, but she was a mighty good woman.” She joined the Baptist church when sixteen years of age. Her membership was at her old home church -- Western, Ga.[?] The funeral services will be conducted from the home at 2 o’clock this afternoon. The interment will be in the city cemetery.
