WILLIAMSBURG LETTER

Miss Clara B. Smith, daughter of William and Anna Smith, is no more,
having died Saturday, Dec. 14th at 4 o'clock p.m., aged 16 years and 7
days. In the death of Clara, the parents and friends lost a young lady
who was every way dear and lovely.  Before interment the remains were
taken to the M. E. church, where Rev. R. H. Wharton preached the
funeral sermon from Revelations 14:13, after which the remains were
followed to their resting place by a large concourse of friends and
acquaintances.  The public schools were closed, and the teachers, as
well as scholars, were present to pay the last tribute of respect to
the remains of this much admired young lady.
