Death Of Mrs. J. W. Franek.

From private letter to a relative
in this place we learn that Mrs. j.
W. Franck, formerly Of this place,
died at her home near Hannah, Ga
recently, after painful and linger-
Ing illness with Bright's disease.
Mrs. Franck was the daughter OF
Mr.. VIM. Rawl Taylor and the
widow of JEFF Boles. She was
granddaughter of Grany Corley, who
at one time owned nearly all the land
on which Lexington is built, and
as such she will be remembered by
many an old person. She was q
noble Christian lady and bore her
suffering with remarkable fortitude
and patience and the news OF bel
death will carry sadness to many a
heart in this community. The be-
reaved husband has our heartfelt
sympathy in this hour OF his sore
affection.
