DEATH OF Mrs. PORTER
The community was shocked and dis
trcssed almost beyond measure SUNDAY
morning to learn OF the sudden DEAN OK
Mrs. w. Logan Porter. at her residence.
No. 100 Cowardn Avenue. Few ladies
Of the city were SO widely loved as Mrs.
Porter for the number of those deYoledly
attached To her extended to the utmost
limit OF her acquaintance.
TO many friends It seems almost I'M
possible to realize that She Is dead, Sat
urday morning she was on Hull street
as usual, greeting all whom she met with
her beautiful smile. She was even thsh,
however, far from well.
Mrs. Porter first began to complain
Friday afternoon, but the indisaosition
was SO slight that neither she nor her
family felt that 1t called for any special
attention. Saturday she busted herself
with household duties until after midday,
when she sent for her daughter, Mrs. Kate
C. vaden who was In another room, TO
say that she was too unwell 10 go to the
dinner table. From that time until the
end. which occurred about s o'clock Sun
day morning, she grew steadily worse.
DR.. Lawrence Ingram was called to see
her twice. seeking each time to relieve
the intense pain with which she suffer
cd For some hours before death, how
ever, she was apparently free from pain,
and a few minutes before breathing her
last she told Mrs Walden she was not
suffering. The end was sweet and peace
ful and she met death as she had lived
a noble useful life-~bravely
Welded FORTY-SIX YEARS.
Before her marriage Mrs. Porter was
Bliss Mamie e. Porter, Of one OF the Old
est families OF Powhatan county. Forty
six years ago she and Mr., w. L. Porter
were married. While her husband was
in the army OF the Confederate States
she lived in Fowhatan, but soon after
the war they came TO Richmond. and In
that city or Manchester. she had lived
the remainder OF her days. She Is sur
yIved BY her devoted husband, who Is
broken and crushed to earth by unspeak-
able sorrow, one daughter, Mrs, Kate
Walden, who. remaining in the home. was
the comfort OF her mothers declining
years; two sons, Messrs. a. a. Porter,
of Argo, Miss; and W. Logan Porter Jr.,
of Dallas. Texas, and two grandchildren,
Mary and Mamie Walden Four sisters
are also living-aIrs. John a. Turpin, of
Hallsboro; Mrs. E. c. Hewlett, OF Man
CHESTER Miss Sue Porter, Of Manchester.
and Mrs Maude Tlnsley. Of Richmond.
The departed lady was a member OF the
Cowardin Avenue Christian Church. Few,
indeed, are those who have been able TO
pack SO much Of, goodness and sweet
ness into slxty-fve years OF life as Mrs.
Porter. While the strength and frag-
rance OF her character were given out SO
freely in her own family. blessing 1t be-
yond all human powers to estimate. they
radiated to all with whom she came In
contact even slightly. Death has surely
robbed her community Of benign but
forceful presence. from the loss OF which
1t will not soon recover.
The funeral will take place from the
residence this afternoon ut S o'clock, con-
Quoted by Rev. c. o. Woodward. OF the
Cowardln Avenue Christian Church. and
Rev. r. NJ. Chandler, of the Central
Methodist Church, Tho interment Will

and Robert Porter.
