Funeral of Mrs. Amelia Caldwell Held Here Sunday

Widow of the Late Justice W.P. Caldwell Died at Talbotton Saturday

Mrs. Amelia Vardell Caldwell, widow of the late Justice of the Peace, Preston
Caldwell, for many years a prominent citizen of Butler, died at the home of her
daughter, Mrs. Greer Maxwell, at Talbotton Saturday after an illness of only
about one week.

The remains were shipped to Butler Sunday afternoon, arriving here at 3 o’clock,
and were carried to the Baptist church where impressive funeral services were
held conducted by Dr. Robert H. Harris, pastor of the Talbotton Baptist Church
of which Mrs. Caldwell had been a faithful member from the time of her removal
from Butler to Talbotton, having been a valued member here up to that time.  The
concluding service and interment took place at the Baptist cemetery attended by
a large concourse of sorrowing friends who were present to pay a tribute of
respect to the good woman whose long and useful life had been so full on
unselfish devotion and love.

Relatives and friends accompanying the remains from Talbotton to Butler included
the following: Mr. and Mrs. Greer Maxwell and little daughter, Rev. R.H. Harris,
Mr. and Mrs. E.R. Mathew, Mr. and Mrs. R.W. Trussell, Mrs. John Robinson, Mrs.
Florence Childs, Messrs. Benson Maxwell, J.T. Maxwell, J.H. McGehee and W.W.
Childs.  Mr. S.M. Caldwell, of Hawkinsville, met the remains at the train and
was in attendance at the funeral.  Mr. Caldwell was the brother of the
deceased’s husband.

Previous to her marriage Mrs. Caldwell was Miss Amelia Vardell, member of a
wealthy and influential South Carolina family, and come to Georgia and to Butler
soon after her marriage to Judge Caldwell.  Following the death of her husband
several years ago she moved to Talbotton and resided there with her daughter
until her death.

Mrs. Caldwell was about 70 years of age and is survived by her two daughters:
Mrs. Geo. Barry, of Bowie, Tex., and Mrs. Greer Maxwell, of Talbotton.

Mrs. Caldwell became a member of the Baptist church in early life and remained a
faithful, consistent member thereof until her death.  She was abundantly endowed
with those feminine characteristics of loyalty, love and devotion that
constitute the model wife, mother and Christian and her whole life has been
devoted to loving service to her family, her friends and her God.

To the bereaved daughters and other loved ones, who feel a personal loss, we
tender our deepest sympathy.
