Death Of Mrs. S. o. Spruill.

Mrs. S. o. Spruill died at her home
on Rowland street about 600 O'Clock
yesterday Wednesday, morning.
She had been sick for some time but
her condition was not regarded as
such that fatal termination was so
soon to follow, and the announce
ment of her death was entirely unex-
pected by many of her friends. About
ten months ago the little adopted
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Spruill "a
niece of the latter, whom they took
after the death of the mother) died,
and the grief of both was as great as
if the little one had been their own
child. About the same time Mrs. Spru-
i'll was stricken with typhoid fever.
She was desperately i'll for weeks but
had about recovered when she suf-
fered stroke of paralysis. From the
effects of this she did not recover and
death was the end.
Mrs. Spruill was good woman in
every relation of life and her death
has carried deepest sorrow to the
hearts of her neighbors and friends.
The funeral will be held this after
noon.
