CARRIE MOSS SALLEY WATSON

   Mrs. Carrie Salley Watson, wife of W.C. Watson of our town, died at her 
home in Lee Street Wednesday afternoon, May 4, after a long and lingering 
illness.  For practically ten years she had been an invalid and suffered 
intensely, bearing her affliction with Christian grace and fortitude.  Mrs. 
Watson, who was 51* years of age, was the daughter of the late Rev. John 
Bailey and Mrs. Hannah Raysor Salley of Orangeburg, S.C., her father being 
a prominent Methodist minister of South Carolina.  Mr. and Mrs. Watson were 
married in 1904 and moved to Franklin a few months thereafter.  The deceased 
was a consistent member of High Street M.E. Church and a woman of many fine 
qualities, a good neighbor and until her health failed a useful figure in her 
church and community activities.

   She is survived by her husband and four children, W.C. Watson, Jr., of 
Langley Field, Caroline, John and Hannah Watson; by five sisters, Mrs. M.G. 
Salley of Orangeburg, Mrs. C.H. Litener of Wallaceville, S.C., Mrs. Stokes 
Salley of Orangeburg, S.C., Mrs. W.H. Plummer and Miss Lottie Salley of 
Asheville, N.C., and by two brothers, Frank Salley of Asheville and Raysor 
Salley of Charlotte, N.C.

   Funeral services were held from the Watson residence in Lee street yesterday 
afternoon at 3:30 o’clock, conducted by Rev. L.T. Williams, pastor of High 
Street M.E Church. The church choir sang "Nearer My God to Thee" and "Asleep in 
Jesus". Interment was made in Poplar Spring Cemetery, the body bearers being 
H.M. Frankford, Harry Steinhardt, W.H. Jones, Dr. W.E. Snipes, Dr. Beamon Story, 
W.H. Norfleet, J.A. Weede and J.B. Gay. The honorary pallbearers were a large 
number of friends of the family.
