LUCY CAROLINE RIDDICK BUTLER

   Mrs. Lucy Riddick Butler, aged about thirty-one years, died on Wednesday 
morning, February 6, 1901, at her residence, on Franklin Street, of pneumonia. 
She had been sick less than a week, and the news of her demise was a shock to 
the community, as it as not generally know that Mrs. Butler was sick, 
she having been down town about the middle of last week.

   The deceased was the youngest daughter of the late Willis S. Riddick, and 
was the wife of R. Harry Butler, a well-known traveling salesman.  Mrs. Butler 
was a very popular lady in social and literary circles, and her death has cast 
a gloom over her relatives and friends, occurring, as it did so unexpectedly.

   Mrs. Butler leaves three small children - Holmes, Lucy and Margaret.  She 
was a sister of Mrs. Claude W. Wright, Mrs. W.J. Pettit, and of the late John 
and Willis Riddick.

   The funeral will take place at St. Paul’s Episcopal church this (Friday) 
morning, at 11 o’clock, and the interment will be in Cedar Hill Cemetery.
