The Marietta Journal, May 3, 1906
DEATH OF MRS TOWERS

Mrs Melvina TOWERS died at the family residence in this city, on last Friday
afternoon, about 5 o'clock.

She was born in Anderson, S C, and would have been 81 years of age next July. 
Her maiden name was Miss Melvina McGHEE, a prominent and noted family of South
Carolina.  She was the widow of the late Col J R TOWERS, and was a most
estimable woman, whose pure and sweet life and kindly influence was a
benediction.  She was a woman of deep Christian piety and consecration,
possessing a cultured mind, of rare clearness, whose living and tender sympathy
and affectionate disposition endeared her to all who came within the circle of
her influence.

As a member of the Baptist church her blameless life exemplified those Christian
virtues and graces that exalted human character and gave inspiration to emulation.

She possessed her mental faculties up to the time of her departure.  Bidding her
sons and daughters good-bye as they all gathered around her bedside, a few hours
thereafter, her spirit peacefully and serenely passed away.

What a noble mother she has been. and how her memory will sweetly and lastly
linger in the loving hearts of her devoted children.

She leaves three sons, Col W M TOWERS of Rome, Ga.; Mr John TOWERS of
Birmingham, Ala.; and Mr A A TOWERS of Gadsden, Ala.; and four daughters, Mrs W
R MONTGOMERY, Miss Tallulah TOWERS, Miss Sena TOWERS, and Miss Mary TOWERS.  The
grandchildren of her household were Mr Don TOWERS of Knoxville, Tenn., and Miss
Mary Dean TOWERS.

The funeral services were conducted Saturday afternoon, at 3:30 o'clock, at the
family residence, by Dr C E W DOBBS, and the remains were interred in the city
cemetery.

The pall-bearers were Mr M R LYON, Dr I H SPRINGER, Judge J M STONE, Mr C T
CARNES, Mr S K DICK and Mr J W LEGG.

We tender our profound sympathy to the bereaved family.
