"DEATH CLAIMS GOOD WOMAN OF GAINES. 

"Mrs. T. H. Powell died Tuesday at her home near Rock 
Branch church. She was 73 years of age, and one of the 
best women of the community. She was a consistent 
member of Rock Branch District Baptist church for many
years, a devoted wife and mother, and a kind and 
considerate neighbor and true friend. Her remains were 
buried at Rock Branch church Wednesday. The funeral 
services were conducted by her pastor, Rev. J. C. West. 
Mrs. Powell is survived by her husband and four children-
Mrs. C. L. Smith of Elberton, and Messrs. Preston,
