MRS. MACFARLANE DEAD.
She Passed Quietly Away Yesterday in Hor
SeYentY-seVenth Year.

At ten minutes to o'clock yesterday after
noon the spirit Of Mrs. Elizabeth f. Mscfar-
lane winged its flight to the Maker that
gave it.
The somewhat sudden death occurred at
her home at Fifth and Leigh streets, which
for many many years has withstOod the
winds and storms OF time. Mrs. Macfarlane,
though in her seventy -seventh year, was sick
but a short time, she being present at tea On
Monday evening. Yesterday morning, how
ever. she complained of feeling unwelI. and
sank rapidly after the first attack. Her death
was caused Immediately from heart disease,
but old age was the indirect cause.
No more God fearing woman ever lived In
Richmond and she was ever ready with her
purse and hands to make those around her
happy, and many who occupy a humble sta
ton in life know as though in secret OF her
kindness and charity. consistent worship
per at the Grace-street Presbyterian church.
she was ever active in church work. and
death takes from that congregation one who
has always been beloved aud esteemed.
Mrs. Macfarlane WAS the widow Of the late
William Macfarlane. and was the mother Of
Mrs. 5. ID. Jones, Mrs. W. ". Trlbbett. Mr..
c. w. Maofarlane, Miss Iulie Macfarlane and
the late X. T. Macfarane
The funeral will take place from the Grace
street Presbyterian church this afternoon at
$50 O'Clock Rev. Dr. J. Y. Fair will conduct
the services and the interment will occur
at ShOckOe Hill cemetery.
