Death Comes Suddenly To Mrs. W. D. Grant 

 After an Illness of Only a Few Hours One of this City's Beloved Mothers Passed Away Sunday -- 
Sunday morning about 11 o'clock Mrs. Samantha Jane Grant,
wife of Mr. W. D. Grant, was stricken with an attack of
acute indigestion and for several hours it seemed that death
was inevitable but she rallied and it was thought her
condition was much better, but a second attack came and in a
few minutes she had passed away, death occurring at 6:30
o'clock Sunday afternoon, October 4th. Mrs. Grant was born
at Belton, Anderson county, S.C., May 12th, 1842, being at
the time of her death in her 73rd year. She was a daughter
of John and Elizabeth Holland. She married to Mr. Grant on
Dec. 28, 1860, coming to Clarkesville as a bride, where she
resided until her death. Mrs. Grant was the mother of 12
children, ten of whom survive her. They are: A. P. Grant,
Seneca, S.C.; T. L. Grant, Atlanta; J. S. Grant, Bostwick;
J. W. Grant, Welleston, Okla.; Capt. J. H. Grant, Oklahoma
City, Okla.; J. R. Grant, Hazelhurst, N. W. Grant,
lieutenant commander of the U.S.S. Delaware, stationed at
Vera Cruz, Mexico; Mrs. Max Holtz, Atlanta; Mrs. J. C. Hood,
Nacoochee; Mrs. H. K. Wood, Clarkesville. All came for the
funeral but two sons, N. W. Grant, who could [sic] reach

Hubert Nelson, a granddaughter, of Florence, S.C., and other
grand and great grandchildren attended the funeral. There
are 65 lineal descendents, seven of whom are great-
grandchildren, that survive her, besides her husband, who is
77 years of age. She was a member of Bethlehem Baptist
Church being a conscreated member of her church. She was a
woman beloved by all who knew her. Hers was a life of
service and usefulness to those near and dear to her, and
truly it can be said of her that a "Mother in Israel" has
passed away. Mrs. Grant was very fond of flowers, especially
the old time ones, and her casket was laden with many of her
favorite flowers, the offering being many from her large
circle of friends. The funeral will be held Wednesday
afternoon at 3 o'clock at the residence and the interment
will be in the old cemetery in this city, Rev. J. W. Kytle,
