The Edgefield Advertiser, February 10, 1915
Death of Mrs. P. B. Day
Sunday morning at 3:00 0'clock the useful life of Mrs. Annie Durisoe Day came 
to a close.  Her leave taking was sudden and unexpected, but for her, it was a 
merciful means.  Why should one so cheerful and gracious as she be called upon 
to pass through days or weeks of pain and suffering and the anticipation of 
leaving so happy a home, and so noble and devoted a family, the idol of her 
husband and sons?  She was greatly loved and possessed of a winsome manner, 
which drew new friends to her, and old ones closer.
The immediate cause of her death was said to be apoplexy, and after the first 
attack she never regained consciousness of the world about her.
Mrs. Day spent her childhood and girlhood in Edgefield and vicinity, the 
daughter and only child of the late D. R. Durisoe, for many years connected 
with The Edgefield Advertiser.  She was married to Mr. P. B. Day and living at 
Trenton in the earliest recollection of the writer, but from childhood the 
name of Annie Durisoe had been often lovingly spoken of by many friends who 
knew and loved her in Edgefield.
Mrs. Day was a member of the Episcopal church of Trenton and one of the most 
active members.  Just a few weeks ago she was in Edgefield in order to aid in 
the arrangement for a W. C. T. U. convention at Trenton and to visit again, 
and, as it transpired, for the last time, some of the friends of her youth and 
renew the associations of the past.
She was one of the most interested and active temperance workers of pioneer 
days in Edgefield county, having been enthusiastically associated with this 
work from the early days, and at the time of her death was leader of the Loyal 
Temperance Legion of Trenton.
Mrs. Day leaves her husband Mr. P.B. Day and four sons, D.R. Day, J.F. Day,
P. B. Day, Jr. and George Day, and friends all over our county who weep over 
their loss, but rejoice that such a genuine and devoted soul was allowed to 
spend her life in our midst.    F. A. M.
