Advocate Democrat ?
Mrs. Mary Edwards
Died Tuesday Morning
[Oct 3 1916]

Mrs. Mary Edwards, widow of Thos Edwards, died at 8:00 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 fro 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 had 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.


Additional Comments:
When Mary Jane died in 1916, this obituary was published. I obtained it from 
David Edwards. I do not know its source, but it probably comes from the 
Advocate Democrat.
