Miss Ella Lawson Dead

The death of Miss Ella Lawson occurred at her home
Thursday at 2 o'clock. She was stricken Sunday morning
with pneumonia and continued to grow worse until the end
came. A trained nurse was called but to no avail.

She was the daughter of W.S. and Lavinia Lawson and was
born near Baldwinville, removing while she was quite
young to Talbotton. The father passed away many years
ago; the mother preceded her eleven years almost to the
day.

Miss Ella Lawson was one of the finest characters that
ever lived in Talbotton. She was responsive and generous
to very good word and work.

There are many railroad men all over the country, who
will always remember the influence and genial kindness of
the home.

She was a consistent member of the Baptist church and
faithful to all its ordinances.

Rev. Smith conducted the funeral, Friday afternoon.
Internment at Oak Hill Cemetery.

Miss Lawson is survived by two brothers, Messrs. Davis of
this place and D.D. of Hot Springs; several nephews and
nieces and two cousins, Misses Anna and Laura Ellis of
Alabama.
