hearts in Gaffney were saddened
yesterday when 1t was learned that

good woman had been in i'll health
for several months and while her
death was not entirely unexpected,

numerous friends throughout Chero-

will then be brought to Gaffney and
inferred in Oakland cemetery. Mrs.
Jefferies was about seventy-two
years old, and was we'll known
throughout lower Cherokee, and In
Union county, where she had many
relatives. She was a good, pious
woman, and was greatly loved and
admired for her kind and gentle ma
ture, her sweet disposition and her
many deeds Of charity among her
neighbors-ever ready to lend a help
ing hand and sympathizing heart to
any and all who were in distress
and went to her for aid. Truly she
will be sadly missed in the commu-
nifty where she had dwelt so long.
Besides a husband she leaves five
children. one son and four daughters,
to mourn the loss of one whose place
can never be filed. They are: DR..
c. A. Jefferies, Of this city; Mrs. j..
