Robbery Story Is Recalled

Miss Mary Battle, 78 years of age and a lifelong resident of Barnett, was 
buried at that place a few days ago.  The deceased leaves a maiden sister, the 
two having lived alone for many years.  They owned several fine farms, Georgia 
railroad and factory stock.  Their income from these sources amounted to quite 
a sum annually.  Contrary to the advice of relatives, they kept a large amount 
of funds in their house with no other protection than themselves, when in 
December 1901, unknown parties during the night overpowered the aged sisters 
and secured $12,000.  The robbery attracted much attention at the time, but the 
guilty parties were never located.
