‘Mrs. Hemphill Dies after Week’s Illness’

Noble Christian Woman Passes Away At Home on South Sixth Street

  Mrs. Josephine Hemphill, one of Griffin’s best known and most highly esteemed ladies, passed away at her home on South Sixth street Saturday evening at 7 o’clock, after an illness of one week.  Her death was caused from pneumonia.
  Mrs. Hemphill was former Miss Amanda Josephine Smarr.  She was born in Fayette county sixty-six years ago.  She was married in November 1865, to Rev. W.P. Hemphill, a Presbyterian minister, who died several years ago.  She is survived by four sons, Mr. Herbert Hemphill, of Atlanta; Mr. W.P. Hemphill, Mr. E.W. Hemphill, of Pike County, and Rev. J.E. Hemphill, of Willow Springs, N.C.; three daughters, Mrs. J.L. Brandenburg, of Hollonville, Mrs. G.A. McCallum, of Albany, and Miss Agnes Hemphill, of Griffin, and two sisters, Misses Julia and Bettie Smarr, of Sunny Side.
  Mrs. Hemphill was a most estimable woman, whose death brings sadness to many hearts.  She was a consistent member of the Presbyterian church and was greatly beloved for her many noble traits of heart and mind and character.
  The funeral services will be held Monday, and will be conducted by Rev. J.E. Hemphill, who arrived in the city last night, being on the way home when he received the sad news announcing his mother’s death.
