MRS. J.D. FAVER DIES IN LAGRANGE

Our community was plunged in deepest grief on Sunday last by the annoucement 
of the death of Mrs. John D. Faver, which occurred late Saturday night [Jan 29] 
at her home in LaGrange. Mrs. Faver had been ill but a few weeks and her death 
was a great shock to her Newnan friends, many of whom were not aware of the 
serious nature of her illness. Following an operation on Monday of last 
week, she began to rapidly decline and although given the best medical 
attention and tenderest nursing, death mercifully ended her sufferings on 
Saturday night, and she peacefully passed away surrounded by the loved ones 
of her family. To the heartbroken young husband our heart goes out in 
sympathy, for only we who have passed through the valley of the shadow can 
realize the void that has thus been created in his young life, a life that 
but yesterday gave promise of fulfulling all that is cherished in human 
happiness. But the golden link has been shattered and the sweet spirit of 
her who was bound to him has been stilled, and only Time can soften the 
keener edge of sorrow for which there is no early surcease.

The remains of Mrs. Faver were brought to Newnan on Sunday morning, being 
accompanied from LaGrange by an honorary escort from the Elks' Lodge, an 
organization with which Mr. Faver is prominently connected. The funeral took 
place Monday morning from the Presbyterian church, services conducted by 
Rev. J.E. Hannah, assisted by Dr. R.J. Bigham, Rev. W.J. Cotter and Rev. 
Giltress Herndon, pastor of the Presbyterian church at LaGrange. In the 
short and beautiful service, tender eulogies were paid to the life and 
character of the deceased, after which the body was laid to rest in Oak Hill 
cemetery. The floral offerings were numerous and beautiful, mute 
testimonials of the esteem in which the deceased was held.

FROM "THE LAGRANGE GRAPHIC", the 2nd inst.

After a serious illness lasting through several weeks, Mrs. John D. Faver 
died at her residence on Main street, Saturday night about 11 o'clock.

Mrs. Faver was one of LaGrange's most popular and charming young matrons and 
her death brings sorrow to many friends in this city. Mrs. Faver before her 
marriage, was Miss Sadie Mae Powell of Newnan, having married in January of 
last year. As a bride she came to this city to make her home a little more 
than a year ago and her winning personality and charming manners soon formed 
around her a large circle of friends. Mrs. Faver is survived by her husband, 
her mother, two brothers and six sisters and her death comes to them with 
crushing sorrow.

The remains were carried to Newnan on Sunday where the funeral took place 
from the Presbyterian church, Monday morning. A body of Elks, about twenty 
in number, went as an escort with the funeral party on Sunday to Newnan. The 
many friends of Mr. Faver sympathize with him deeply in the great sorrow 
which he has suffered.
