Death has been in our midst often
of late, cutting down or the right and
left. Yet at no time did it's work
cause more sorrow than when on
last Saturday evening few minutes
before 9 o'clock Miss Margaret E..
Adams fell victim to it's death deal
ing scythe. Margaret, as she was
known to all of US, was the second
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. j. I. Adams
Of the Appeal. She had been i'll for
some time, suffering with that dread
full disease, tuberculosis. Yet, during
her long illness, she did not murmur
nor grow respondent. No matter when
you saw her, she always had that
same sweet smile of contentment.
She had just passed her 18th year,
was loved by all who knew her. The
end came so peacefully that not even
her mother, who was constantly at
bedside, realized it was so near.
Slowly repeating the Twenty-third
psalm, with the usual brightness in
her face, she passed peacefully over,
never to return. The funeral was held
Tuesday afternoon from st. James
A. M. E. church and was one Of the
largest ever held in the church. The
floral tributes were numerous and
beautiful. Margaret was laid to rest
in Oakland cemetery. She leaves to
