Charlotte News, August 3, 1922
MRS. SUMMERVILLE DIED EARLY TODAY

Esteemed Woman Passes Suddenly at Local Hospital

After an illness of less than three weeks, Mrs. Martha Henrietta Summerville, 
wife of A. C. Summerville, died Thursday morning about 2 o'clock at St. Peter's 
Hospital where she had been removed the day before for the taking of X-ray 
pictures.

Funeral services will be conducted at 11 a.m. Friday at her home, 209 North 
Poplar street by Rev. J. T. McCutchan assistant pastor of Second Presbyterian 
Church, of which Mrs. Summerville was a faithful member.  Interment will be in 
the family plot at Elmwood cemetery.

Mrs. Summerville had been sick only a short time and apparently was improving.  
She was removed to St. Peter's Hospital Wednesday but early Thursday morning 
there was a change for the worse and she died at 7 a.m.

Mrs. Summerville was the oldest daughter of the late George H. and Mary 
McDonald Wearn.  She was born at the old Wearn home place on Tuckaseege Road 
January 10, 1857.  She was, therefore, 65 years of age.  February 13, 1878 she 
was wed to Alexander Summerville, living her entire life in this county and 
city.

In addition to her husband, she is survived by the following children:  Mrs. R. 
H. Hart, Miss Hazeline Summerville Loyde, William, Elbert, and J. H. 
Summerville, all of Charlotte.  Another son Merton Summerville, died about 
seven years ago.  There are also six grandchildren.

J. H. Wearn, George W. Wearn, and William R. Wearn, brothers, also survive as 
well as two sisters, Mrs. J. T. McGee and Mrs. J. A. Berryhill, both of the 
county.

Mrs. Summerville was an active member of the Presbyterian Church, being a 
member of Paw Creek Church before coming to the city.  She had a wide circle of 
friends, drawn to her by her gentleness of spirit and kindness of heart.  One 
of her outstanding characteristics was the fact she was always in the sick 
room, rendering aid and bringing cheer.
