are known as dress patterns or robes,

Yelling is extremely fashionable, con-

too much rain visibly affected the
plant.

Beloved Woman of Montgomery
sbasNeN Away.


Death came at an early hour yester.
day morning to Miss Claytonia Vir.
ginia Wilson at her home, 21S Mildred
street, after an illness covering many
months.
For several weeks Miss Wilson had
known that the end was near and he
ing of strong. positive Christian faith,
she met the inevitable without falter-
ing and, surrounded by those who
loved her most, she fell asleep for>
ever.
A native of Montgomery and a MEM
Der of one of the oldest families of Ala
bama's Capital City, Miss Wilson was
a distinct type of Southern woman
hood. She was born in Montgomery,
January 4, 1863. Her parents were the
late Joseph w. Wilson and his wife.
who was Amanda L. Clayton.
She was educated in the schools of
Montgomery. and was a woman of rare
culture and extraordinary mental at
tainment. For fifteen years she was
teacher in the Sayre Street School.
Many young persons of MONTGOMERY
received their educational training
from her and there was a beautiful
bond of sympathy between her and her
former pupils.
Some time ago Miss Wilson's health
began to fail and the last few months
OF ner Ire Sne was an accompanying
invalid.
Since her girlhood Miss Wilson had
been a COMMUNICATE of the Episcopal
Church of the Holy Comforter. Her
church and its people were dear to her
heart and during her active years. she
gave them her unfailing interest.
The members of her immediate fam
lily who survive her are her three sis
tiers. Mrs. Thomas Rudolph. Mrs. Mary
r. Wilson and Miss Amanda Wilson,
all of Montgomery. These four sisters
lived together at the Wilson home
stead on Mildred street, and they were
bound together by the strongest and
tenderest ties of love. They are con-
nected with several of the prominent
families of Montgomery.
This afternoon the funeral services
will be conducted at the residence on
Mildred street by Rev. Stewart Nc
Queen. The interment will be made
at lakewood.
