Death of Mrs. B.F. Fennell

A member of an old and widely known Taylor County family passed away on the 
11th inst., in the person of Mrs. B.F. Fennell, who was born Miss Lavonia 
Elizabeth Hamilton.  The deceased lady died at the State Sanitarium, 
Milledgeville from exhaustion from pellagra, where she had been sent late in 
May after every effort on the part of her family to alleviate her sufferings 
through the ministrations of the best medical advice had failed.

The late Mrs. Fennell, who was in her 61st year, was married in Taylor County 
in 1867, residing there until removing in 1883 to Columbus.  To mourn their 
loss in addition to her husband, Mr. B.F. Fennell – who is a sufferer from 
paralysis and is residing with his daughter, Mrs. Glaze, she leaves five 
children viz: Lula L., who married John J. Glaze, of Columbus; Ida, the wife of 
George Morris, of Columbus; Visha, who married C.L. Booth of Columbus; Lizzie, 
wife of Henry Livingston, of Columbus, and William Franklin Fennell, of 
Columbus, a sister, Mrs. Aley A. Adams, resides at Coushatta, La., and a half 
sister, Mrs. Martha N. Heath, at Paschal, Ga.  Two nieces, Mrs. Jettie Douglas 
and Mrs. Jessie Crabtree live in Columbus.  The deceased lady had numerous 
relatives and friends in Taylor County who join with her immediate family in 
mourning their loss.

The final obsequies took place in Columbus on the 13th from the residence of 
Mrs. Glaze.  For some time the deceased lady had displayed a marked leaning 
toward the doctrines of the Catholic church and shortly before her death she 
was baptized into that church by the Rev. Father Cronan of Macon.  The remains 
were carried to the Holy Family church where the service for the dead were read 
by the pastor, Rev. Father Schlenke and thence borne to their final resting 
place in Riverdale cemetery, where again prayers were recited by Rev. Father 
Schlenke.  The arrangements were conducted by C.H. Herring & Co.
