Elizabeth Brown Wilkinson daughter of Daniel Wilkison of Scotland

AROUND FLORAL COLLEGE

Again it is our sad duty to report a death. Last week it was that of a 
little child. This week it is that of a lady of mature years which shows 
us that death is no respector of persons, is sure and liable to come as 
a thief in the night and how important it is for all of us to "Be ye also 
ready for ye know not the day nor the hour in which he comes." And we 
believe the life she lived showed that Miss Lizzie was ready when the 
summons came on Saturday night last at 9:15 o'clock. At the house of her 
brother, Mr. Dougal A. Wilkinson, of Maxton, Route 5, in the seventy-third 
year of her age.  

About a year ago she suffered a stroke of paralysis and since that time her 
health had been bad but her death came as a shock to her many friends and 
relatives. She was a member of a large and prominent family, a daughter of 
Daniel Alexander and Effie Wilkinson, who together with four sisters 
preceeded her. The interment was made in the family cemetery at what used 
to be Harmony school (now consolidated with Floral College) on Sunday 
morning at eleven o'clock. The services were conducted in a most impressive 
manner by her pastor.
