Camilla, Georgia. Mrs. Lucille Phillips, wife of Mr. C. U. Palmer, passed away at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Phillips, on Tuesday, 24 Aug 1920, night at 10:30 PM, after an illness of a month or more. Mr. and Mrs. Palmer have been living at Pritchardville, S. C. for some time and Mrs. Palmer had come to Camilla a month ago to visit her parents. Soon afterwards she was taken sick and despite the careful nursing and close attention given her, she continued to lose strength until she passed away peacefully Tuesday night. Funeral services were held at Mt. Zion church Wednesday, 25 Aug 1920, afternoon at 3:00 PM, Rev H. N. Bennett having charge of the services. The pall bearers were Messrs. Will H. Jones, M. C. Gardner, E. N. Burson, F. A. Jones, Roy Tipper and M. A. Warren. Mrs. Palmer was the oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Phillips. She spent her school days in Camilla and her playmates still remember lovingly the talented and attractive little girl she was. Six years ago she was married to Mr. C. U. Palmer and spent most of her married life at her home near Camilla until moving to Pritchardville, S. C. As she grew older she developed a beautiful Christian character and cast a bright and shining influence about her. Though still a girl when her young life closed at the age of 22, she had lived a life of faithfulness and her death is mourned by a large number of relatives and friends. Mrs. Palmer leaves her husband and a little daughter, Rachel, three years of age, desolate at her loss. Her father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Phillips, two brothers, John C. and Dick, and two sisters, Marie and Luella, also survive her. The Enterprise joins with the many friends in extending the hand of sympathy to the sorrowing family in their bereavement.
