Rome Tribune-Herald, Saturday, April 30, 1910
Promising Girl Yields to Death
Miss Daisy Cheney Passes Away After Short Illness; Funeral Today at 10.

The death of Miss Daisy Cheney,second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alvin D. Cheney, 
occurred Friday morning at 7 o'clock at the home of her parents on First 
Avenue. The death was an unusually sad one. Just a week ago she came home from 
Athens, where she had been attending the State Normal School. She was 
[illegible] and an operation was found necessary, Yet in spite of all the best 
medical attention and the nursing of fond parents could accomplish, she failed 
to rally, and her spirit took its flight.
Though only 17 years of age, she had attracted a large number of friends by her 
magnetic personality and many accomplishements. This was attested, not only by 
those in Rome, but by the many messages of condolence received on yesterday 
from her school friends in Athens. Even at so early an age, evidences of 
unusual intellectuality had already developed themselves giving promise of many 
bright hopes of future accomplishement.
She is sirvived by her mother and father, one sister, Miss Louise, and one 
brother, Jeanne. Her only other relative in Rome is a cousin, Mrs. Sproull 
Fouche.
Many beautiful floral offerings betoken the esteem in which she was held by her 
friends, and the close affection of those nearest and dearest. The funeral will 
occur at 10 o'clock this morning from the residence, the services being 
conducted by the Rev. Geo. F. Cuthrell, pastor of he Christian church, and Dr. 
R.B. Headden. The following are the pallbearers: Walter S. Cothran, H.A. Dean, 
M.B. McWilliams, Sproull Fouche, A.D. Hull and E.B. Barclay. The interment will 
be in Myrtle Hill cemetery.
