Died in Oxford,

1t is indeed with sorrow most pro-
found that we chronicle the death of
Mrs. Sallie j. Lewis, wife of Mr.. j.
Alex. Lewis, which occurred at her
home in Oxford at II o'clock Saturday
morning. She had been sick but a
short while and her death was entire
ly unexpected and caused shock to
her friends. Mrs. Lewis was a daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. w. H. Jones, both
deceased, of Ringwood, Halifax coun-
ty, and like her mother, whom we
knew we'll in our boyhood days, she
was woman of superior worth, loved
and admired by all who knew her.
She was about % years of age, a con-
sistent Christian, devoted wife and
mother, kind neighbor and sincere
friend.
Only about two years ago she came
to Oxford bride, full of joyousness
and brightest anticipations of long
and happy married life and during
that time she had drawn to herself
many warm friends and we'll wishers
who shed sympathetic tear above
her untimely grave. Beside devoted
and affectionate husband and two
small children Mrs. Lewis leaves sew
eral brothers and sisters and a wide
circle of relatives and friends to mourn
her death.
