Mr.. and Mrs. W. G. Andrew have the
sympathies of NIL their friends and &C.
ouaintances in the death of their eldest
daughter, Pauline, which occurred at their
home on South Main Street, last Monday
about IL o'clock q. m. She lad been sick
only few days, but her parents did not
consider her seriously ill. On Monday
she seemed to be much better, but sudden
ly took turn for the worse, and in a
very short time death had claimed her as
its victim. Of course, 1t was a terrible
shock to the devoted parents, who, how
ever, have the consolation ofknowing that
their little daughter is now at rest with the
angels in Heaven. Pauline WAS not quite
IL years of age, and was an exceedingly
bright little girl, With sweet, lovely dis.
position. On Tuesday morning the re.
mains were laid away in the Presbyterian
cemetery, after appropriate funeral servi-
ces conducted by Rev. G. B. Smith In the
Methodist Church.
The Elberton (Ga.) STAR of last week,
says: "More than one hundred years ago,
three brothers and a sister by the name Of
Edwards, came from England to the North
American colonies. One of them, Robert
Edwards, bought and owned considerable
land, where is now located the city Of
New York. Then he leased for SO years
this properly, made his will and returned
to England. By the torms Of iswill this
land at the end of the lease was devised to
his two brothers William and Thomas
Edwards, and his sister Frances, who
married Wickliffe, and their heirs, The
lease expired last year, and the descen-
dants, who are now scattered over the
United States, are claiming the estate.
The terms of the lease were recorded in
New York State, and the records on which
the lease should appear have been de-
stroyed. Lately it has been discovered
that the lease was also recorded in Eng
land. Theheirs have formed an Associa-
ton, known as "The Edwards Heirs AS
sociation," with, headquarters at Louis
vile, KY, and they are pushing the claim
in every way possible. Several of the
heirs live in and around Elberton. Mrs.
Wickliffe, and her children, are in the
direct line of descendants, Mrs. Wickliffe
being the niece of Mr.. Robert Edwards.
If the property should be recovered
Misses Mamie, Lois, Alma and Mr. e. W.
.Wickliffe would come in for several
million dollars each" Mrs. Wiekliffe
and family were formerly residents OF
Anderson County, and their friends and
relatives here will join us in Wishing
them success in establishing their claim.
