Death came last week to still the heart of one of Quitman's noblest
and best loved women, Mrs. Rhoda Rentz, who passed away at home of
her son, Mr. E.M. Rentz, June 19th aged 72 years. She had been in
poor health for a number of years, but remained up until just a few
daysbefore death came, when she became unconscious, and although a
brave fight was made to restore her to consciousness, science could
not copewith nature and the end came peacefully and painlessly. The
remains wereconveyed to the Mt. Zion cemetery on the afternoon of
the 20th wherefuneral and burial services were held. Mrs. Rentz was
a devoted wife and mother, and her children "rise upand call her
beloved." Besides her husband she is survived by one son and three
daughters, namely: Mr. E. M. Rentz and Mrs. Dan Moore, Mrs.Olie
Brooks and Mrs. Dixie Anderson.
