Death of Mrs. Julia Keith

Mrs. Julia M. Keith died suddenly at one o'clock
yesterday morning at her residence on the corner of
Tenth and Solomon streets. Her death was caused by
heart disease and ensued a half hour after the
attack. Mrs. Keith was the daughter of General Winn,
of revolutionary fame, was born in Winnsboro, S.C.,
and was 82 years old at the time of her death. She
moved with her brother to Monroe county, this State,
and there met Rev. W.J. Keith, the first pastor of
the Griffin Presbyterian Church, whom she married in
1840, and who proceeded her

to the better land fourteen years ago. She had been
a devout member of the Presbyterian church from her
youth up, and her long life of religious study had
made her probably one of the best posted women in
the land on all subjects of religious faith. The
funeral will take place from the church at half past
ten this morning; and the last expressed wish of the
deceased will be realized, that

she might be buried from the old church before it
falls into disuse.
