MRS. FLORA KEZIAH DIES SUDDENLY IN UNIONVILLE

Funeral Services Were Conducted at Chaney Cemetery, Leaves Husband and Three 
Children

Special to The Observer

Monroe, July 22. - Mrs. Flora Keziah, wife of W.A. Keziah, died suddenly at her 
home in Unionville early Saturday morning.  Paralysis of the heart is assigned 
as the cause of her death.  Mrs. Keziah had been in ill health for about a 
month and was under the carre of a doctor.  For several days previous to her 
death, however, her condition had been thought much improved and on Friday 
night she ate a hearty supper.

About 2 o'clock Saturday morning she aroused her husband with complaints that 
her head was hurting.  The windows in the room, which had been lowered on 
account of rain, were then raised and this seemed to ease her.  Mr. Keizah 
retired and some time later was aroused by the heavy breathing of his wife, and 
found her unconscious.  A doctor was quickly summoned but before he arrived she 
died.

Mrs. Keziah was a daughter of S. Helms and was born five miles north of 
Monroe.  She was twice married, first to Sydney Helms.  Three children by this 
marriage Miss Annie Hlems, Mrs. Buelah Richardson, of South Monroe, and Roy 
Helms survive.  Mr. Helms died a number of years ago and the deceased was 
married to Mr. Keziah.  He, with three children, survive.  The children are 
Boyd Keziah and Misses Eva and Catherine Keziah.  L.B. Helms, of Monroe, and 
Jay Helms, of Goose Creek, and Mrs. H.C. Epps, of North Monroe, also survive.

Funeral services were conducted at the Chaney cemetery, near High Hill, 
yesterday at noon by Rev. E.C. Snyder and Rev. A. Marsh.  A number of friends 
and relatives were in attendance, iterment took place here.
