Death of Miss McCaskey.
  Miss Minerva McCaskey, after an illness extending over a year, died March 
6th, 1907, at the Inge-Bondurant Sanitorium in Mobile, where she had been taken 
for treatment about ten days previous. Although she had been in failing health 
for a long time the immediate cause of death was an acute attack of la grip 
which in her debilitated condition she was unable to withstand. Her sister, 
Miss Bettie McCaskey and other relatives were at her bedside when the end came. 
Miss McCaskey was born at Lower Peach Tree, this county, but lived in Camden 
all her life. She was the fourth of a family of thirteen children and is 
survived by two brothers, Dr. F. B. McCaskey, mayor of Wetumpka, Ala., and John 
W. McCaskey of Laurel, Miss., and one sister, Miss Bettie McCaskey of Camden. 
She was the daughter of the late Mrs. M. N. McCaskey, a worthy woman well 
remembered here and in business a long time as milliner. The funeral services 
were held here by Rev. J. P. Sanders of the Methodist church of which the 
deceased was a life-long member.
  Miss McCaskey was known and esteemed as a most exemplary lady. Bright in 
mind, she was vivacious and mirthful, and her cheery presence always gladdened 
an assemblage. Naturally she was most charitably inclined, ever ready to attend 
the sick and suffering, and when the death messenger came to other homes, like 
an ministering angel she was there to comfort and help.
  (We regret that the above was unavoidably left out in the make-up of last 
week's paper.)
