In the death at 425 PM Monday, of Mrs. Mary BRYANT WIGGINTON, Jeffersontown 
lost one of its oldest and most highly esteemed residents.

Mrs. WIGGINTON, who had passed her seventy-sixth milestone, the 9th of 
February, had been in failing health for several years and had gradually, one 
by one, laid down life's duties which she had performed so long and so 
faithfully--and about a wee ago took to her bed for the end which was 
apparently near form that time the seven devoted children being all at her 
bedside when the final summons came.

Born and reared near, Fairfield and having spent most of her married life in 
the Elk Creek and Waterford neighborhoods, Mrs. WIGGINTON had lived in 
Jeffersontown only in her later life but had made many loyal friends and 
neighbors who are grieving sorely at her passing.

She was married to W. V. WIGGINTON, October 24, 1877, their golden wedding 
was celebrated October 25, 1927, and three years ago, also in October Mr. 
WIGGINTON answered his final summons.

A quiet, unassuming home loving mother in Israel, Mrs. WIGGINTON has been a 
life-long Baptist and a regular attendant at its services as long as health 
permitted.  Her pastor, Rev. L. T. WRIGHT, conducted the funeral from the 
Baptist church Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock and interment was in the 
cemetery at Elk Creek.

Surviving are four daughters, Mr.s Maude HEFLEY, of Buechel, Mrs. Ollie 
THOMAS of Louisville, Mrs. Alma ROBINSON of Lyndon and Miss Aline WIGGINTON, 
who lived with her mother, 3 sons, Tom WIGGINTON, of Louisville, George 
WIGGINTON, of Miami, Florida, W. H. WIGGINTON, whom lived with his mother.
There are also seven grandchildren, two sisters. Mrs. John REID and Miss 
Grace BRYANT, both of Louisville, and one brother, Bryon BRYANT of Louisville.
