 MRS. JOE c. HAIL

Funeral services over the remains of Mrs. Joe C. Hail, aged 40 years who died suddenly early Sunday morning, were conducted yesterday morning at 10:30 o'clock from the residence, 1909 Sixteenth avenue, south Interment followed in Oak Hill cemetery.
 friend of Mrs. Hail paid her the fol- lowing tribute yesterday:
 with the death of Mrs Sarah Gotten Hail wife of Joe c. Hail. early Sunday morning, there passed from earth the spirit of one of Birmingham's most be- loved women. Mrs. Sarah Gotten Hail.
 She was in perfect health Saturday night, but taken suddenly i'll about mid gone out. without her having regained consciousness. She has left a husband, two young sons and q host of relatives and friends who are almost stunned with grief over the shock of her sudden death. Mrs Hail was the daughter of the late pr. and Mrs. Robert Gotten, and had spent her life since childhood in Birming- ham, She was the sister of Messrs. Claud, Lee and Robert Gotten, and of Mrs. Q i.. Stephenson. Mrs. E. T. Douglas anu Miss Alice Gotten. All were here q. the time or her usatn except MISS Allce SOltcui who was visiting in Atlanta, and who reached Birmingham or late train. The deceased was married first to Robert Brown, son of -the late Rev. Dr. Hardie Brown. Of this union two young sons survive, H~rdie and Percy. Just five months ago she was married to Joseph c. fiail, and their future seemed filled with happiest promises. It was singular " pathetic that the two ministers who performed their wedding ceremony and the dear friends who were present, were so soon called again to administer the last sad rites to the dead. Mrs. Hail was always a faithful member and earn est worker in the Church of the Advent, and was known far and wide for her gentle Christian character, and her char ity to all.
 She. could pass this way but once, but she left a shining mark for others to follow, and the world was sweeter ano better for her having lived in it.
