H. Killebrew, which happened at Americas, Ga., on last Friday morning. While young and apparently in good health, she had been a sufferer for a number of years, which resulted in the necessity of having a surgical operation performed. She left her home and loved ones Thursday morning for Americas, where the operation was performed, from which she never recovered. The news of her sad death was more than a shock to all and especially to those who were near and dear to her, for doubtless they were not prepared for so great an emergency. Mrs. Killebrew was an esteemable woman in every sense of the word and not only her immediate family are suffers in her loss, but also those who lived near her and knew of her many acts of kindness and charity will soon realize that not only a good woman but a tried and true neighbor has been taken from them. She leaves a sorrowing husband and five children, whose memory, while saddened, will be sweet in the realization that a devoted and loving mother is not dead, but transplanted in God's eternal kingdom, awaiting the "judgement morn" when they shall be gathered together as one united family again. Funeral services were conducted at the Baptist church here by Rev. R.L. Bivins, of Americus, Saturday morning, and she was buried at the Ellaville cemetery. Additional Comments: Lydia C.
