Cedartown Standard, August 08, 1901
The funeral services of Mrs. S. M. H. Byrd, whose death was chronicled in The 
Standard last week, were held at the Methodist church at 2 p.m. Thursday, 
conducted by Rev. C. K. Henderson and the remains were laid to rest in the city 
cemetery. She has been practically an invalid for twenty years, and death must 
have come as a welcome release from her sufferings. Mrs. Byrd was a daughter of 
Dr. and Mrs. John Pettus, of Monticello, Fla., and was graduated from Wesleyan 
Female College. She was a worthy helpmeet to the late Maj. S. M. H. Byrd, who 
was at one time one of the most prominent men in this section. She was for many 
years a devoted member of the Methodist church, and was a lady of high 
character. Two children~Miss. Callie and Mr. Masters Byrd~survive her, and have 
the sympathy of all in their bereavement. One more of the good pioneer women of 
this section has gone from their rapidly thinning ranks. May time deal gently 
with those who remain! (
