MAUD C. ELLIOT PASSES AWAY HERE—Prominent and Beloved Woman Died at Her Home Last Night. Mrs. Maud C. Elliot, prominent and beloved Brunswick woman, died at her home, 1108 Richmond street, last night after an illness which had extended over a period of several weeks. She had been seriously ill for the past several days, and while members of her family and friends realized a few days ago there was no hope for her recovery, the announcement of her death came as a shock and created genuine sorrow among her large number of friends. Mrs. Elliot was a native Brunswickian, she was born and reared in this city and was a woman of the old type, endowed with all of the beautiful characteristics that made her loved and esteemed by so many close friends. Her passing removed one who had been closely identified with the social and religious circles of Brunswick for more than a half century. Born in Brunswick March 3, 1863, Mrs. Elliot would have been 73 years of age on her next birthday. She was the daughter of the late Dr. Benjamin M. and Sarah Pyles Cargyle, old and prominent Brunswick residents. Dr. Cargyle practiced his profession in Brunswick for years, and during his long life here his name was familiar in practically every Brunswick and Glynn county home. During her long and useful life in Brunswick Mrs. Elliot had been prominent in all walks of life in the city. In her younger years she was a leader in the social and religious circles of the city and had been a life-long member of St. Mark’s Episcopal church. She was known and esteemed by all who knew her and the sympathy of the community goes out to the bereaved family. On August 24, 1882, she was married to the late Chester E. Elliot, who passed away a few years ago. Mrs. Elliot is survived by five children, Mrs. J.M. Heald, of Lakeland, Fla.; Cargyle and Monroe Elliot, Mrs. Maud Boyd and Mrs. Ralph McCrary, all of this city; one sister, Mrs. Arah C. White, of Tampa; two grandchildren, Mary and Elliot Heald, and several nieces and nephews. Funeral services will be held at 11 o’clock Tuesday morning from the home, conducted by the Rev. Royal K. Tucker, rector of St. Mark’s church. The following will serve as pallbearers: Active, Dr. J.B. Avera, C.K. Curry, L.J. Leavy, Frank M. Scarlett, H.F. duBignon, F.J. Torras; honorary, Dr. H.M. Branham, R.R. Hopkins, J.C. Stiles, C.S. Tait, Sr., K.G. Berrie, R.E. Sherman, C.M. Peddicord, P.M. Nightingale, Nat Nightingale, F.D. Aiken, R.M. Stevens, Dr. Robert Burford.
