Miss Mary Milling died suddenly ut
ier home in this city last Sunday morn
ing about 0 o'clock, and the announc q
/ ment Of her death was great shock 20
| her many friends. On Friday she at-
tended the funeral Of Mr.. J. G. Cum
| ningham, and was apparently in her
usual health. On Saturday she COM
planned of nausea, and was confined to
her room all day, but her rcondition was
not considered serious by her loved
ones. On Sunday morning she arose mt
her usual hour, and again complained
of being nauseated. Her neice, Miss
Anna Belle Towers, with whom she
lived, summoned DR.. Townsend, who
lived near by, and after examining her,
he went to % drug store to get some
medicine, but before he could get back
to her bedside she quietly breathed her
last. The deceased was native of
Ireland, and came to this country in
her girlhOOd with her father, Thomas
Milling, who settled in Fairfield Coun-
ty with number of other Scotch-Irish
Presbyterians. Here lie died, and near
ly fifty years ago the deceased, with
three sisters and her mother, moved to
this city, where they resided few
years and then moved to Columbia.
Later, the late A. B. Towers married
one of the sisters, and after her moth
er's death she came back to Anderson
to live with Mrs. Towers. Here she
has made her home ever since. She
was in the 74th year of her age. In
early youth she became member of
the Presbyterian Church, the Church
of her parents, and lived singularly
devout and radiant Christian life. Her
sife OF patient resignation, beautiful
serenity and calm, sustained sweetness
pre.,ch far more loudly in her large cir
Gle Of devoted friends than many SER
mon. She was ever ready to minister
to the sick, to speak word of sympa-
thy to the distressed and lend help
ing hand to the needy. and her name
will ever be n fragrant memory to those
who knew her. On Monday afternoon
the remains were inferred in the Pres
byterian churchyard, the funeral ser
vices being conducted by her pastor,
Rev. j. n. II. Summcrcl.
