The Marietta Journal December 3, 1908
POWDER SPRINGS

DIED - On November 21st, the home of the SELMANs at Powder Springs, so lately
bereaved of the father, was called upon to mourn also the loss of the mother,
Mrs James W SELMAN.  Death came to Mrs SELMAN suddenly by heart failure and was
a great shock to the family and the community.  Her womanly graces and Christian
virtues had endeared her to a large circle of friends to whom her death will be
a personal loss.  She was an active worker in church and Sunday school and will
be missed by the children and young people as well as by those of maturer years.
 Mrs SELMAN was Miss Catherine RILEY and was married in early girlhood.  She was
in her 59th year and is survived by six children, all of whom were present at
the funeral as follows: Mrs J L BEESON of Milledgeville; Mrs L S SELMAN of
Birmingham; Dr W A SELMAN of Atlanta and Miss Neva SELMAN of Powder Springs
(sic).  She is survived also by four sisters, namely: Mrs Fannie ELLISON of
Paris, Texas; Mrs A R BOMAR and Mrs W K BURNETT of Chapel Hill, Ga; and Mrs J M
MASON of College Park, Ga,; all of whom were present except Mrs ELLISON.  The
service was conducted by Rev J M SPINKS, her pastor, and was as beautiful and
comforting as such a service can be.  The floral tributes were exquisite in
beauty and covered both mounds.

Miss Corine BENNETT, who is attending school in Atlanta, spent Thanksgiving with
home folks.

Mrs Warren FLORENCE and Miss Lucile FLORENCE were called recently to the bedside
of Mrs FLORENCE's daughter, Eloise, who has been visiting in Augusta.  It is
reported she is some better at this time.

Mr and Mrs Ben GIBSON of Atlanta and Mrs CONNER and children of Marietta were
guests of Mrs Margaret LINDLEY on Thanksgiving day.

We are sorry to know that conference has caused our much beloved pastor, Rev E D
HALE, and his good wife to be taken from our church and sent to Blue Ridge.  Bro
HALE has done more to build up our church in every way than any one for several
years, and it is with much regret that we give him up.  We welcome our new
pastor, Rev J R KING, to our town and wish him every success.

- No

Additional Comments:
Although the obit of Mrs Catherine RILEY SELMAN states that she was survived by
six children, only four were named in the article.
