The Talbotton New Era, December 10, 1903

The Talbotton New Era

Aged Lady Dead

Sunday night at the home of Mr. A.P. Smith, where she was boarding, Mrs. S. 
Ather, aged about 85, breathed her last.  She had been paralyzed and wasn’t 
expected to live long.  The end came quietly and her soul went to its God 
whither it had been striving to go many years.

Mrs. Ather was a devout member of the Episcopal Church and her greatest delight 
was to attend upon the services of her church.  As long as she was able to get 
about she could always be counted on to be present at her church services.

Mrs. Ather was a Miss Curley, sister of the late Capt. B. Curley, of 
Talbotton.  After her marriage to Mr. Ather she lived in Macon many years.  She 
had been a widow for about forty years.  In her stronger days she taught school 
and was a successful teacher.  She never had any children and her friends were 
numerous and were like children or sisters to her in striving to make the 
declining days pleasant.

She was gently laid to rest in Oak Hill Cemetery Monday afternoon and loving 
hands will delight to put flowers on the grave in memory of the pure Christian 
life of the one who occupied it.

Note: In the December 24, 1903 issue of the New Era, there is an obituary for 
Susanna Ather written by the U.D.C.  It doesn’t contain any dates that would be 
helpful in genealogy research.
