A Sad Death

Tuesday morning the many friends of Miss Byrdie Peurifoy were made sad by the 
announcement of her death. She had been sick for only a few days, and although 
her friends were aware of the fact that her illness was of a serious nature, 
they were surprise to hear the end had come so soon.

Death is always sad, but far more so is it, when a life so full of promise and 
usefulness, as was her’s, is cut down. By her lovable traits of character, Miss 
Byrdie had endeared many friends who will deeply mourn her absence.

Miss Byrdie was a true Christian and her sorrowing family and friends are to be 
consoled by the thought, that if they lead the life that she led, they will 
someday meet her in the Land across the river.

She was nineteen years of age, and had just finished her studies at Jeff Davis 
Institute, having graduated with honors at the last term of school.

Impressive funeral services conducted by her pastor, Rev. M.M. Walraven, 
occurred at the M.E. Church Wednesday morning at 8 o’clock, after which the 
remains were taken charge of by Undertaker Howell and carried to Monroe county 
and interred in the family burying ground.
