SUDDEN DEATH IN WAYNEsBoRo'.-The tow n
of Waynesboro' was startled Monday evening,
September lst by the sudden death of one of its
most highly esteemed ladies. Mrs. Ann Fitch.
The cause of her death was pronounced apo
plexy by Dr. Jones who reached her bedside
soon after she was taken sick, but was power
less to prolong life whose close was a sad
bereavement to the whole community. The
blow fell with heaviest force upon her aged
parents, who, absent at the time. were sum-
moned by telegram, announcing their daugh-
ter's serious sickness. They arrived the next
day, only to find her dead. Mrs. F1tchs KIND
heart and amiable life made for her many ana
devoted friends. OF modest and shrinking
nature-she never made public profession OF
religion; still those who knew her best are
comforted. Her life, and her faith In Christ Ps
her Saviour more than once expressed In pri-
vate, justify the hope and the belief that she
was ready for the sudden coming of the Son OF
Man. She was buried on Wednesday from tne
Presbyterian church, whose services she at
tended.
