THOMAS ETHERIDGE The death of Mrs. Thomas Etheridge, which occurred at her home near Murray Sunday afternoon, was a great shock to her family and friends. While she had been ill for several days her condition appeared so much improved Sunday morning that the members of her household were wholly unprepared for the sad blow. The life of this wife and mother was one of usefulness and good deeds, and she had entwined about her the love of many friends who deeply morn the grim messenger's untimely summons. She leaves a grief stricken husband and nine children and to these many hearts go out in sympathy. The remains were laid to rest in Concord cemetery Monday in the presence of a large concourse of sorrowing relatives and friends.
