WEST SPRINGS

West Springs, Oct. 12.-Miss Mallie
West died suddenly here on last
Thursday about noon at the home of
her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. John M.
West. About the first week in June
she underwent an operation for ap-
pendicitis at Steedley's hospital at
Spartanburg. The operation was sue
cessful but in a few days typhoid few
er developed, and for sometime her
condition was extremely critical. How
ever, she grew better and was per-
mitted to come home and receive the
loving ministrations of her relatives
and many friends for few weeks.
Apparently she had very nearly
gained her full strength. On the
morning of her death she assisted in
preparing the noon-day meal and was
sitting, engaged in doing some needle
work, when suddenly, without warn
ing, like thunderbolt from a clear
sky, her pure spirit was "called on
high, to forever live with the Lord"

secrated member of West Springs
