THE MARYVILLE RECORD June 17, 1904
Friday, June 17, 1904



Mrs. Davenport, an old lady who had been living with her son in this city for

some time past, died Tuesday morning and was taken to Morristown for burial.

She had a hard time catching the train, being obliged to make three attempts

at it before she finally succeeded in getting away to her funeral on Wednesday

noon.



Mrs. Lee Parker died Wednesday morning after an illness and much suffering of

several days. Funeral services were held Thursday.



A child of Porter, colored, died Tuesday and was buried Wednesday. In spite of

the cheap coffins supplied, this child was buried in a common store box.



Cades Cove---Death has robbed Uncle Noah Burchfield of the grandchild he was

raising. Death again invaded C.C. Gregory’s home, taking his youngest child.

The funeral was held Tuesday, June 14.



Route 2---Little Willie, the seven months old daughter of W.B. Ammons was

called to her Heavenly home, Monday morning at 5 o’clock. The little infant

entered where there will be no sorrow, as the death angel hovered around her

bed-side to claim as its victim the darling child. Willie was one of the most

pleasant children, she was always bright and smiling face. The funeral

services were held at Mt. Lebanon by Rev. W.A. Catlett. After which the

remains of the dear little babe was laid to rest in the Mt. Lebanon Graveyard.

We are sure that little Willie is at rest. She is now one of the bright, happy

angels. The bereaved family has the heart felt sympathy of their friends.
