A pail of sadness hung over this
community last Friday evening and
Saturday, due to the death of Miss
Marie Ellis, the nineteen year old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. w. G..
Ellis,of this TOWN. Mr.. Ellis and fam
lily had the warm and heartfelt SYM
pathy of the entire town and the
surrounding country Miss Marie
came home ill several weeks ago, from
Whitworth College, Brookhaven, Miss
where she was due to graduate this
month"; Just a few days before her
death, the symptoms OF her case
were favorable to her recovery; but
them came an unexpected turn for
the worse and at p. M, on Friday,
her soul winged its flight to the
spirit land. For her burial her grad
uating dress was her shroud. Her
body was laid in a magnificent cas-
ket and tenderly conveyed to the
Methodist church, of which Miss Ma
rie was a member, the following gen.
tlemen being pall-bearers: Maj. Pat
Henry and DR.. Ruel May, of Brandon;
Messrs. Minis Williams and Hiram
Flowers, of Magee; and Messrs. P.
B. Berry, ]. L. Evans, A. P. Dear
and Ed Singletary, of Florence. Every
seat in the church was occupied.
The pastor Rev. w. w. Morse, paid
a fitting and beautiful tribute to her
Christian character Among her last
words was a request that her friends
meet her over yonder in the land of
rest. Her body was followed to the
grave i'm the Florence cemetery by a
large number of sorrowing and SYM
pathizing friends, and there she was
laid to rest till Christ, the Savior,
shall come again and take her unto
Himself in Glory.
