DEATH Of MRS.
KATE BOUNDS
She Passes Away at Home Of
Her Brother, Mayor j.
D. Donald.

Mrs. Kate Bounds, aged GO years,
died yesterday afternoon at O'Clock
at the home Of her brother, Mayor
J. D. Donald, with whom she lived.
The funeral was held this afternoon
at Vossburg, the services being con-
Quoted by Rev. Mr.. McMillin, her pas
tor. Services were also held at the
home by Mr.. McMillin, assisted by
Rev. Hall.
Mrs. Bounds was born and reared
in Jasper County. In 1886 she was
married to Mr.. Austin Bounds, who
preceded her to the grave.
She leaves two brothers, Mayor j.
D. Donald, of this city, and Mr.. Sam

Der of relatives in Jasper county.
Mrs. Bounds became a Christian
early in life and united with the Bap-
fist church, of which she was a most
consistent member.
AS Christian her convictions were
strong and her example a model Of
consistency and faithfulness.
A consciousness of duty to God and
her fellow man dominated her entire
life. She was intelligently pious. She
has given to the world one of the best
rounded Christian characters ever
known.
To her younger brothers, she was
both a mother and a sister. They had
for her all the respect that they could
have felt for the mother they lost in
early life and at the same time re-
allied that she sympathized with them
in all that came into the hopes and as
pirations of their own young lives.
The influence of her pure and Cod
ly life was felt by all who knew her
and will be a cherished memory with
all who knew her real worth as a
friends, neighbor and Christian.
