Greenyille- Other Matters.

death of Mrs. Clara Fitzpatrick Liv-
ingstong which occurred this morn
ing at Greenville. While her death
was not unexpected, still 1T brings
with 1t the shock that always ,ac-
companies such intelligence, particu-
larly when one is SO universally be-
loved as was Mrs. Livingston. On
account OF continued indisposition
her loved ones induced her to go to
iGreehyilie some weeks ago, thinking
and Hoping that a change would ben
eft her. This she consented to, but
was Never we'll enough to return, and
indeed for many weeks had been an
intense though patient and brave suf-
fererl Mrs. Livingston, with her hus-'
bands the late Col. j. w. Livingston,
was one of the earliest settlers of
Seneca, having moved here with their
young family in the early history of
the iilace. They quickly Identified
themselves with the interests of the
place, and particularly with the
church, both being ardent and liberal
members of the Presbyterian denom-
ination. After Col. Liyingston's
death his crushed but brave help
meet. took up the burden OF life with
her large family, and by prayer and
supplication, coupled with gentleness
and firlpness, reared the family of
reputable children which are to-day
ornaments in church and society. IL
there was one characteristic which
married more forcibly the life Of this
devoted Christian woman and mo-
sther 1t was her gentleness. This.
coupled with her mate refinement, !,
her tender regard for the feel
ings of her friends, made her what
she was--a true friend. In her FAM
lily she has been called ytritable
queen-loyal, Arm, honorable, affec-
t!onate-always a ministering angel
to the sick or unfortunate, striving
always toward the mark" and all
ways with an eye single to His Glory.
The poor found always a support and
word OF encouragement from her,
her colored friends, including those
of slavery times, being among those
who gave lives of service and deyo-
tion to their erstwhile mistress. A
keen phase of the sorrow which Mrs.
Livingston's friends hero feel over
her death is the fact that hcr last
days were spent away from them,
and they were therefore deprived of
the privilege of ministering Luto her
and thereby evidencing something
of their love and devotion to her. To
the grief-stricken family is rendered
the sympathies of the place. The
children who survive her are John
X. Livingston, Cordele, Ga; Mrs.
Will and Whitner Livingston, Sem
eca; Mrs. Lell Livingston Martin,
Greenville, and Mrs. Clara Livingston
Thomson, of Walhalla.
