The Camilla Enterprise May 1945
Mrs. Ida T. Ivey Yields to Death

Mrs. Ida Taylor Ivey, wife of the late L. S. Ivey, aged and prominent Mitchell 
County woman, died Saturday morning, May 26, 1945,  at the home of her 
daughter, Mrs. George A. Burson following a fatal illness of three days.  
Though she had been sick for the past several weeks, Mrs. Ivey had been up and 
about the house until Wednesday of last week, when she suffered a stroke of 
paralysis.  News of her death brought sorrow to numerous friends throughout 
this county and section.

Funeral services took place Sunday afternoon at Camilla First Baptist 
Church, of which Mrs. Ivey had been a member for more than a half century.  
Services were conducted by the pastor, Rev. S. H. Bennett.  “Face to Face” 
and “God Will Take Care of You” were beautifully sung by a vocal trio composed 
by Mrs. S. H. Bennett, Mrs. J. L. Gray, and Mr. W. C. Adams.  Numerous and 
beautiful floral pieces bore evidence of thoughtfulness of many friends.

Active pallbearers were Virgil Holton, B.F. Manry, G.C. Burson, W. W. Bullard, 
C. D. Phelps, and Marvin Bullard.   Interment was in the family lot in Oakview 
Cemetery.

Mrs. Ivey was 87 years of age when death came to her.  She was the former Miss 
Ida Taylor, daughter of Elbert Taylor and Nancy Tarver Taylor, of Baker County, 
and was born and reared there.  In early young womanhood, she was married to 
Leonard Stanford Ivey, and came to this county as a bride, spending her entire 
married life at the Ivey home place, a home noted for its genial hospitality 
and neighborliness.  Nine children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Ivey, four of 
whom, Madge Ivey Davis, Stanley Owen Ivey, Pearl Ivey Rice, and Annie Winifred 
Ivey, preceeded her in death.  Mr. Ivey preceded her in death in 1911.   She 
spent her last days in her old home, hallowed with memories of a long and happy 
married life.  All of her children and many of her grandchildren were with her 
when the end came.  Sunny and winsome of nature, Mrs. Ivey had numbers of warm 
friends who realize in her death a sad loss.

Ivey, Camilla, Gordon W. Ivey, Homestead, Fla., Reed Ivey, Miami, Fla., and
