A Sad Occurrence

On last Friday morning the startling intelligence reached us of the death of
Miss Pennie Chaffe, which occurred at Dr. J. W. Cockerham's plantation on
Red River, four miles from town.  The circumstances of this sad occurrence
are these:

On Tuesday, May 27th, Miss Chaffe, in the company with her mother and
sister, arrived at Dr. Cockerham's from their home in New Orleans, intending
to spend a few weeks on a visit there.  On Friday following their arrival,
at about 8 o'clock in the morning, deceased was seen to leave the house and
go tou in the direction of the river, which is in front at a distance of
about 40 yards.  No particular notice was made of her movement and breakfast
was announced before she was missed.  Receiving no answer to their repeated
calls, the family became alarmed and immediately began a search.

A shawl, which was found near the river bank, was the first trace of the
missing one.  Upon further investigation, marks were discovered on the edge
of the bank, which seemed to have been caused by slipping of a foot; the
grass being wet with dew and slippery.  There was no appearance of a recent
caving of the bank; no traces of the lost one but the shawl and foot prints;
no voice to answer the cries of the disconsolate family, save that of the
gentle murmer of the waters below.  Believing that the object of their
search had been swallowed up by the angry tide, fishing and diving
immediately commenced and ere long, the lifeless body of Miss Chaffe was
drawn from the body of the stream some 30 to 40 yards below where the shawl
was found.

The deceased was the youngest daughter of Mr. Charles Chaffe of the well
known firm of Chaffe and Powell, of New Orleans, and to bear us out in
saying that she was accomplished and beautiful, we make the following
extract from the Times-Democrat of May 21st:

The deceased was a most lovely character and was greatly admired and
beloved, not only in society circles, where she was conspicuous for her
beauty, grace, and charm of manners, but more especially within her home,
where her sweetness and tenderness of disposition and to whom she was near
and dear.  The sympathy of the entire community, we know, will go out
unrestrained this morning to the grievously stricken household on 1st
Street.
