Roanoke Leader
For a number of years Mrs. Houston Spratlin's health has been failing and last 
Saturday morning, May 2nd, the end came, Mrs. Spratlin was only 33 years old and 
was one of the most lovely characters to be found. Being endowed with natural 
beauty and possessed of such a pleasing personality, she made friends wherever 
she went. Those who knew her, loved her. At the age of 18, as Miss Effie Driver, 
she was married to Mr. Houston Spratlin. They lived in Atlanta for a short while 
and then went to Little Rock, but failing health brought them back home and for 
several years they occupied the little cottage on the hill overlooking what is 
known as Washington Lake, near Bethel East, in this county. Mrs. Spratlin tried 
so hard to regain her health, having spent last winter in a sanatorium at Alto, 
Ga., and had only been home three weeks, when she passed away. She leaves the 
husband, her father, Mr. B. Driver, of Hogansville, three sisters, Mrs. Dewey 
Melton, Mrs. Floyd Smith and Miss Virginia Driver, all of LaGrange, three 
brothers, John and Monroe Driver, LaGrange, and Lester Driver, Macon, other 
relatives and a host of friends. A very impressive funeral service was held 
Sunday afternoon at Providence conducted by Rev. Mr. Goforth of LaGrange, with 
interment in cemetery at Providence. The large crowd that gathered evidenced the 
popularity and the high esteem in which Mrs. Spratlin was held by her friends.
