will doubtless be enormous. The style
of the firm has not yet been decided

Death of Mrs. H. H. Sanders

For several weeks our commune
ty has been greatly depressed on &C.
count of the serious illness of Mrs.
H. II. Sanders, and when she calm
ly and peacefully passed away Fri
day morning at nine o'clock there
were many expressions of sorrow
and profound sympathy for her de.
voted husband.
Before her marriage Mrs. Sanders
was Miss Matte Plunkett, having
descended from an old and homo red
Aiken family. She and Mr.. Sanders
came to Edgefeld to make their
home about Is years ago. Both of
them made friends rapidly and soon
occupied a prominent place in the
community life. They have always
been held in high esteem by the peo-
pie of the entire community.
Though quiet, gentle and modest,
Mrs. Sanders was a woman of un-
usual strength and force, being not
only a devoted companion TO her
husband but being also of valuable
assistance to him in conducting his
business interests. The scattering of
sunshine along the pathway of 9th
ers seemed to be one Of Mrs. San
ders' chief delights. She always had
a smile and some kindly remark for
those with whom she met, making
them feel happier by reason of hav-
ing been in her presence. She was
an active member of the Baptist
churca and, in company with +
husband, she always attended
church services regularly, incl ug
the m;iweek prayer meeting.
The ilterment took place Satur-
day afternoon at Mount Pleasant, a
Baptist church near her former
home five miles south of Ridge
Spring. The funeral service was
conducted by. Rev. J. R. Walker.
The Advertiser joins a host of
friends in extending profound SYM
pathy to the bereaved husband who
has been left alone in the home.
They have 40 children living.
