DEATH OF MRS. CLAXTON

The friends of Mrs. Rena Claxton, wife of Prof. P.P. Claxton, superintendent
of Asheville City schools were shocked to hear of her sudden death on Sunday
afternoon last.  She died at the residence of Col. J.D. Cameron. Mrs. Claxton
was a native of Goldsboro, N.C., the daughter of William Moore, of that place.
She was a talented and loveable lady, of most gentle manners and disposition,
who endeared herself to everyone. She was about twenty-six years of age and
leaves a five year old daughter to mourn, with others, her loss. 

The funeral services were conducted at the residence of Col. Cameron by Rev.
McNeely DuBose, of Trinity Episcopal Church, after which the remains were
taken to Goldsboro for interment. The city schools closed on Monday in respect
to Mrs. Claxton's memory - ASHEVILLE DEMOCRAT.
