Mrs. Eta Goforth, Mrs. Addie
West and Mrs. JAMIE Hunter visited
r. l.. Symes, OF Mountain Rest, last
week. 1t was doubly sad to them be-
cause Of their failure to reach there
In time for the burial Of their sister,
Mrs. Symes. Mrs. Symes was the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. w. Fl. Jen-
nings, instead Of w. e. jennings as
stated in last weeks paper. Only her
father died last May, instead of both
parents. Her mother is now visiting
In Spartanburg. 1t was indeed q
shock to both relatives and friends to
hear of this sad death. Mrs. Symes
was truly Christian wife and mo-
ther and her many friends in and
around Westminster deeply sympa-
thize with the husband and children
In their bereavement. Besides her
husband and Children, she leaves her
mother, six sisters and two brothers.

nings reside in Spartanburg county
