[Monday] March 5th

A death which came with shocking suddeness was that of Mrs. Emma Saxon, 
which occurred at her home here Sunday morning at 11:30 o'clock. It was 
known by near relatives that her heart troubled her at times but it was not 
thought that the trouble was at all serious. Only Mrs. Ellie Enloe, a 
neighbor who had been invited to dine with Mrs. Saxon, was with her at the 
time of her death. She had been her usual, energetic self that morning and 
had prepared dinner for her guest with whom she was quietly conversing when 
suddenly she was seized with an attack of the heart and died almost 
instantly.

Mrs. Saxon had been a resident of Wedowee for about 30 years, having moved 
here when her husband Mr. Alfred Saxon became circuit clerk in 1898. The 
deceased was loved by all who knew her. Her life had been spent in service 
for others. No one was called upon more often than was Mrs. Saxon to render 
service to the sick, distressed or needy and she always heeded the call. Her 
home, her neighbors, her church, her town will miss her. She is survived by 
her two children, Mr. Guy Saxon of Carrollton, Georgia and Miss Eva Saxon of 
Atlanta and a host of relatives. Funeral services were held at the Methodist 
Episcopal church, South, on Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Rev. S.R. Towns 
and Rev. T.N. Crumpton, local pastors and Rev. H.S. Matthews of Five Points 
spoke words on the life of the deceased. Relatives from Wadley, Abanda, West 
Point, Atlanta and Carrollton attended the funeral and a host of friends in 
Wedowee and surrounding communities.
