Mrs. Eva Maud Barfield

Mrs. Eva Maud Barfield, widow of Pinkey Barfield, and daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
John Garrett, deceased, departed this life at her home near Talbotton August
15th, after an illness of one week from uremic poison, her remains were brought
to Butler, on No. 4 Friday night and were interred at Bethlehem cemetery
Saturday at noon, the funeral services conducted by Rev. J.T. Adams.

Mrs. Barfield was born February 27, 1878, being forty-one years of age.  She was
the mother of three daughters, Mrs. Alma Slade, of Hamilton, Mrs. Willie Mae
Payne, of McBean, and Martha, eight years of age.  She also leaves two sons,
Floyd Barfield, of Macon, and Clifford Barfield, of Hamilton.  She also leaves
two step-daughters, Mrs. Herbert Herring and Mrs. T.N. Bazemore, who, from
infancy until her death loved and treated their step-mother, as if she had been
their own mother in flesh and blood.  Such love and devotion by step-children is
worthy of emulation.  And when we consider the true and tried traits of
character, the gentleness and sweetness of her disposition, her willingness to
serve, to do her duty in every walk of life, then it is not strange that these
step-daughters as well as her own children loved her while living and mourn,
with bleeding hearts, their loss in her death.

The large floral offering contributed by friends of Talbotton bear silent
attestation of the high regard in which she was held by those who knew her best.
 Beside those mentioned above she leaves a broken hearted father and mother, to
mourn the death, of this their last child.

The following from Talbotton and vicinity accompanied the remains to Butler, Mr.
A.A. Adams, Mr. and Mrs. E.A. Mitchell, Mr. and Mrs. W. Mitchell, Mr. C.M.
Ingram, Mr. Zack Adams and Miss Lucy Adams, Mr. John Clemons and Mr. E. Garrett.

J.T.A.
