Mrs. Laura Yates Watt, wife of Mr. Walter W. Watt, died at the home of her 
mother, Mrs. William J. Yates, in this city, at 9:25 o'clock last Saturday 
night, after a long and wasting sickness. Her serious condition had been known 
by her friends for some months past, yet they hoped even against hope, and 
when the end came, it proved a shock. Mrs. Watt was in her 28th year, and had 
been married not quite two years. She was a lady of the most amiable traits of 
character, and was loved by all who knew her. She bore her long sufferings 
patiently and with the resignation of a true Christian. The end found her 
ready and willing for the change, and she passed peacefully away to take up 
her abode in the house not made with hands.

The funeral services were conducted from the First Presbyterian Church at 3 
o'clock this afternoon by Dr. A.W. Miller, and were attended by a large 
concourse of sympathetic friends. The pall bearers were Messrs. Paul Wilkes, 
W.H. Justice, Heriot Clarkson, R.A. Dunn, Thos. Reese, R.H. Jordan, K.S. Finch 
and E.B. Springs. At the conclusion of the services at the church, the body 
was borne to its final resting place in beautiful Elmwood, to rest in glorious 
shine and sombre shadow until the resurrection morn.
