DEATH SATURDAY NIGHT OF A GOOD WOMAN
  On Saturday night last at her home near Centennial church, occurred the death

and John Oxford, sang, "Jesus, Lover of My Soul," "Nearer, My God to Thee," 
and "Shall We Gather at the River?"
  There were many beautiful floral offerings.  The pall bearers were Messrs. W. 
W. and H. W. Atkinson, W. A. Oxford, D. M. Dickson, W. H. Morris and W. P. 
Beardes.
