The Cairo Messenger, Friday, March 16, 1917
A Good Woman Passes To The Great Beyond

The many friends of Mrs. L. J. McKown, will be pained to learn that she passed 
away at her home near Pelham last Friday morning, March 9th, between the hours 
of 6 and 7 o'clock.  Her death came very unexpectedly, and while attending to 
her customary household duties.  After preparing breakfast, she went out to the 
smoke house to get something for dinner, and had started back to the house when 
she suddenly fell, being caught by her son-in-law, Mr. C. A. Spence, who 
happened to be standing nearby at the time.  Mrs. McKown was born on the 13th 
of January, 1856, and was 61 years of age at the time of her death.  She had 
been a consistent member of the Missionary Baptist church for the past several 
years, and was a member of the Macedonia Baptist church prior to her death.  
She leaves seven sons and five daughters to mourn her death, Mr. E. J. McKown, 
our faithful County Treasurer being one of her sons; besides several 
grandchildren and a host of other relatives and friends, who will join the 
Messenger in offering condolence to the bereaved ones in this time of severe 
trial and may He who doeth all things well, comfort and heal their broken 
hearts.
