S. Trent which occurred this Wednesday morning at the home of her father Mr. S.H. Striplin, in this place. She was a good, true woman. Funeral services will be held at the Methodist church tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock. NEWSPAPER issue of Wednesday, September 28, 1910 FUNERAL SERVICES OF MRS. W.S. TRENT HELD AT METHODIST CHURCH THURSDAY The funeral of Mrs. Wm. S. Trent, who died at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. S.H. Striplin in Roanoke last Wednesday, was conducted from the Methodist church at 2 o'clock Thursday afternoon. The services were conducted by Revs. S.L. Dobbs and J.S. Robertson. The body was laid to rest in the cemetery in this place. The following comments, taken from The News and Banner, Franklin, Georgia, the home town of the deceased will be of interest: "Franklin was saddened Wednesday last at the announcement of the death at Roanoke, Ala., of Mrs. Dr. W.S. Trent. Mrs. Trent had been in rapidly failing health all the year and a couple of weeks ago, she was removed to Roanoke, where it was hoped that, under the immediate care of the doctor's father and brother, who are physicians, and the careful nursing of the other family members, she would improve. The changed proved of no benefit, however, and at 11 o'clock Wednesday, the good woman quietly passed away. The funeral and interment occurred yesterday at Roanoke. Mrs. Trent was one of the lady leaders of the Franklin Methodist church, and frequently before her death had stated to her family that she was ready and only waited the final dissolution, which she felt must come soon. She leaves a husband and two children, a daughter Miss Mozelle Trent and a son Hinman Trent. All were with her in the last hours and will return to Franklin to receive the heartfelt sympathy of their host of friends. ---- The following relatives were called to Roanoke last week by the death of Mrs. W.S. Trent: Mesdames Saine, Ester Cox, George Dunn and Miss Lem Striplin of Atlanta; C.F. Striplin of Ashland, Wilson Striplin of Newnan, and John Bonner and mother of Hickory Flat.
