DEATH OF ANNIE HEMPHILL NEUFFER.
Miss Annie Hemphill Neuffer, the beloved
wife of DR.. q. A. Neuffer, and eldest daughter
Of General r: r. Hemphill, died april 2Snd,
1899. in her 2sth year. None knew her but
TO love her, and no one in the whole City was
more popular, more highly esteemed, and
beloved for her many virtues of mind and
heart, her noble and generous disposition; !;
together with an open frank and independent
manner that won the hearts and love OF
all who knew her. During her long period of
suffering she always manifested the strongest
will power, frequently entering upon the
duties of lie when she was unable to do so,
often sacrificing her own pleasure and person
al feeling for the comfort and happiness of
those around her.
The past two weeks previous to her death
she had expressed Il desire to visit the "old
home" TO her the "dear home OF her child
hood" where she could once again receive the
many little attentions OF loved ones, father
mother, sisters and brothers, thinking per-
haps the diversion OF mind and society Of the
dear home circle would prove beneficial, but
alas, after the pleasures OF home for q little
over one week, she suddenly became quite Ill
and in few short days the end came.
