MRS. MARY EDWARDS DIED TUESDAY MORNING

Mrs. Mary Edwards, widow of Thos. Edwards, died at 3:00 Tuesday morning, after 
an illness of several months.

Mrs. Edwards' death was a great shock to her many friends and relatives, 
although it had been known for some time that she could not very long survive.  
She was 84 years old, and had been a member of the Baptist church since early 
childhood.  She was a kind Christian woman, a good neighbor and friend, and her 
death will be a great loss to the community in which she lived.  

Mrs. Edwards is survived by four children:  Messrs. G. T., B. L. and E. Edwards 
and Mrs. R. T. Jones, together with a large number of other relatives, all of 
whom have the sympathy of the entire community in their sad bereavement.

The funeral and burial occurred at Sandy Cross Baptist Church on Wednesday 
morning, Rev. George C. Steed conducting the services in the midst of a large 
concourse of friends and relatives.
