AUNT BETTY" FERRELL
DEAD.
An Aged Lady Dies Suddenly at
the Home OF Her Son, Z.
j. Ferrell.

Mrs. Elizabeth Terrell. who was
familiarity known as "Aunt Betty, "
died suddenly last Thursday morn.
ing, at the home of her son, 2. j.
Terrell. near Henrietta. She was
one of the Oldest women in the
county, having been born Dec. 81,
1918, and was therefore nearly SO
years OLD at the time of her death.
In 1888 she was married to Benia.
mine Jackson. from which union was
born four children, two Of whom,
Edward and Samuel jackson are still
living. Some time after the death of
her first husband, and in 1913, she
was married to b. F. Terrell, and
to them was born four children, three
sons and one daughter.
Up until within the past year or
so, "Aunt Betty" had a remarkable
memory, and could discourse on
historical subjects which occurred
early IN the last century as easily as a
school boy could say the multiplica-
ton table. 1t is said that she could
remember the text, both the words
and the place wherein it was found in
the Bible, of every sermon she had
ever heard preached; and being q
devoted christian and never missing
an opportunity Of hearing a sermon
preached, this was a remarkable
trait. Her childhood days were spent
IN this country when the closest
neighbors lived twenty miles or more
apart, and it was much farther than
that to any store or mill We have
frequently heard her tell Of the bears
and panthers and wolves that then
roamed over the ground where
Grantsville now stands.
She possibly knew more people in
this county than any other woman in
it, and she delighted in entertaining
her friends by telling them of the
early history Of their country.
Her death was sudden and almost
painless, and she breathed her last a
peaceably as a babe falling to sleeJ
upon It's mothers breast. She haC
gotten up apparently as we'll anC
hearty as ever, but soon complaining
and within half an hour she wa
dead. When il vas seen she mus
die, she was asked ifshe had anythinr
to say, and she replied Cali is we'll
death has no terror fer me, and he
eyes closed in that last long sleep
Heavens gates opened and a noble
christian lady passed 10, 70 dwell eve
with the redeemed.
Her body was buried Friday even
ing at the Norman Ridge cemetery
in the presence Of large coucours
Of s0uoWing friends and relatives

after the service of the order of Judge
Elliott, of the district court of Henne-

of the same court, an order transferr-
ing the case to the jurisdiction of the
federal court An order from Judge
Lochen of that court, was served late
last night on Power and his attorneys
to appear at 10 o'clock this morning
and show cause why the restraining
order should not be dissolved.
