COWELL'S CHAPEL.

Two deaths occurred this week
in this Cowell's Chapel community.
Mrs. Martha Jordan died at the
home of her brother, G. Fl. Cowell,
Sunday evening, after a long ILL
ness which became acrte few
days previous.
Mrs. Jordan was born April 3,
l843. She protested faith in the
promises of Christ at the age of Is
and joined the M. Z Church,
South, at Cowell's Chapel. Mrs.
Jordan lived a true Christian, and
was a faithful member of the
church until death. In september,
1892, she married Alvin Jordan,
whom she survived few years.
The funeral was conducted by
her pastor, Rev. O. G. Wrather,
and the burial here Monday was
attended by large number of rel
atives and friends.
Uncle John Williams, who had
been in bad health all winter, died
Tuesday morning, of Bright's dis
ease. He also contracted small
pox, which probably fastened his
death. Mr.. Williams was we'll adj
vanced in life, and reared large
family, being the father of Noah
Williams, mail carrier on route six,
Neal Williams the blacksmith,
and Louis Williams who lost his
life in the cyclone two yeass ago.
It had been known for sometime
by his physician and family that
he could not long survive the dis.
ease which undermined his health
The end came peacefully, and his
body was laid to rest in Cowell's
Chapel Cemetery.
The death of these two well
known people has caused wide
spread sorrow in this community
where they passed their lives ane
we're held in high esteem by boil
young and old, and the writer ex
tends coincidence to the bereaved
