The Camilla Enterprise 30 Mar 1956 Camilla, Georgia.

  Mrs. W. M. Faircloth, lovingly known by hundreds of friends all over the 
county as "Miss Ella" died early Monday morning in Cuthbert where she had been 
living for the past several months with her sister and her husband, Mr. and 
Mrs. A. J. Ivey.  She had been in ill health the last several years but 
remained fairly active despite her eighty years and frail health.  She was 
taken sick early Monday morning at her sister's home and was pronounced dead on 
arrival at the hospital where she was rushed immediately.  Funeral services 
were held Tuesday afternoon at Hopeful Baptist Church at three o'clock with the 
pastor, Rev. W. H. Rittenhouse, Sr., officiating at the final rites for one of 
the church's most devoted members.  Serving as pallbearers were Glynn West, L. 
H. Hays, Paul Parker, Charles Parker, Louie Taylor, Jr., and Thomas Thornton.  
Interment was in the Hopeful cemetery by the side of her husband, W. M. (Bill) 
Faircloth, who preceded her in death about ten years ago.  Bramlett Funeral 
Home was in charge of funeral arrangements.  Mrs. Faircloth was born on 
November 19, 1875, in Randolph County, Ga., the daughter of the late Jasper A. 
Dawson and Pharobie Nichols Dawson.  She spent most of her life in and around 
Hopeful community of Mitchell County where she and her late husband took 
prominent part in all community affairs.  She and her husband worked a good 
many years as operators of a curb market in Camilla and Mrs. Faircloth had 
enjoyed membership in the Cherokee Garden Club of Camilla in recent years.  
Mrs. Faircloth was one of the oldest if not the oldest continuous subscriber to 
The Camilla Enterprise and apparently expecting to live some while longer had 
mailed in her renewal just about three or four days before her death.  This is 
a fact established in recent years by both Mrs. Faircloth and The Camilla 
Enterprise and she seemed to enjoy the distinction.  Survivors include her one 
sister with whom she had been living in recent months, Mrs. A. J. Ivey of 
Cuthbert; three brothers, J. W. Dawson of Cuthbert, A. W. Dawson of Coleman and 
C. E. Dawson of Bluffton; four nieces and one nephew.
