Death of Miss Marie Hammond

Miss Marie W. Hammond died yesterday afternoon at a
few minutes after three o'clock, of pneumonia. Her
last illness was only from Friday night but she had
had several attacks of the dread disease previously
from which her friends had too fondly hoped that she
had recovered. She was a devout member of St.
George's

church, and her last act was to partake of sacrament
with her family and a few friends; she was one of
the brightest ornaments of Griffin society -
polished in

mind and manner, with keen intellect and ready wit;
more than all she was warm hearted and pure souled,
and it is not too much to say that her death will be
mourned by everyone with whom she ever came in
contact. Yet she was ready and prepared for death,
having known for a long time that she could not live
long, and her passing away was as peaceful as the
character of her disease would allow. God's finger
touched her and she slept.

Miss Hammond was to have been a bridesmaid in a
wedding to come off in two more days and will be
buried in her bridesmaid's dress, and even now,
while mourned by what would otherwise would have
been that gay bridal party, stands with the
Bridegroom whose coming the world awaits a little
longer.

The body will be buried in Atlanta - the funeral
notice will be found elsewhere.
