SALLIE HART EDMONDS

   Mrs. Sallie Hart Edmonds of Pittsburgh, Penn., a former resident of our 
town, died in Pittsburgh July 14, in the 56th* year of her life, and was 
buried in Poplar Spring Cemetery, Franklin, Tuesday afternoon.

   Mrs. Edmonds was a native of Southampton County, the daughter of the late 
Captain Robert Hart and Mrs. Cornelia Majette Hart and was the youngest of 
five children, the survivors being her daughter, Mrs. Wilbur C. Tillitt, and a 
granddaughter; a brother, James R. Hart of Sunbeam, and a sister, Mrs. Fannie 
Bryant of Boykins, besides a number of nieces and nephews and a wide family 
connection.  Another brother, John Drew Hart, preceded her to the grave a 
little less than one year ago.

   In 1896 Miss Sallie Hart married Edward Eugene Edmonds of Washington.  Mr. 
Edmonds dying in 1901, Mrs. Edmond moved to Franklin and lived here with her 
daughter, Edythe, and her mother, Mrs. Cornelia Hart, until 1907 when they 
moved to Norfolk and spent several years in that city until after the marriage 
of her daughter when Mrs. Edmonds moved to Pittsburgh to live with her 
daughter there.  She was admired and esteemed by all who know her as a fine 
Christian character, a woman of unusual qualities and of generous impulses.

   She was a faithful and consistent member of the Franklin Baptist Church for 
a number of years and the funeral services were conducted from that church as 
were those of her husband, and she was laid to rest beside him in the local 
cemetery.  Rev. R.D. Stephenson of the Baptist Church conducted the service, 
assisted by Dr. G.H. Spooner of High Street M.E. church, choirs from the two 
churches singing.  The body bearers were: bob and Earle Bryant, Roswell Hart, 
Walter Beale Jr., Henry E. Boyd, W.W. White Jr., W.J. Cannon and Lee Hill. 
The honorary pallbearers were: Dr. R.H. Cobb, Dr. E.A. deBordenave, J.B. Gay, 
Ernest L. Beale, J.R. Howell, I.E. Howell, Dr. J.M. Bland, Dr. Riddick, H.M.
