DIED in LOUISVILLE.
Mrs. SaIlie Bradshaw, After a
Long Illness, SuccumbS at the
Home of Her Daughter, Mrs.
". F. Hancock.
BURIAL IN CITY CEMETERY, THIS PLACE

The residents Of this place were
notified late Thursday afternoon that
the subject of this writing had passed
from death unto life at the home of
her daughter, Mrs. ". T. Hancock,
Louisville. While the intelligence
brought the deepest sorrow to rel
atiVeS and friends, it was not altOgeUh-
er surprise, as her serious condition
was generally known, the community
having been notified that death was
only a question of time.
The deceased was the first born of
Henderson W. and AgneSS Wilson,
and she reached the age of 70 years
last October, and her entire life was
spent in Columbia where she was high
ly respected by both the old and
young. When quite young woman
she was married to Mr.. Timolean
Bradshaw, who conducted a mercan-
tile establishment in Columbia, and
to the union four children were born,
three of whom are living, namely,
Mrs. NJ. CraVens, this place, Mrs. W.
f. Hancock and Mr.. w. E. Bradshaw,
Louisville. Her oldest daughter, Miss
Bette, reached her majority, but she
died about thirty-four years ago.
Early in life Mrs. Bradshaw made a
profession of her faith in Christ and
united with the Presbyterian Church,
but many years thereafter she joined
the Christian Church, living a con-
sistent member, active in church
work until she became afflicted. She
often spoke of her going, stating that
she was ready when her Master called.
She was devoted to her children and
her grand children, ready to make any
sacrifice that would bring comfort to
them. She was also just as devoted
to her brothers and sisters and they
all loved her dearly. Only those who
have lost dear mother can realize
how the bereft and aching hearts feel.
There is no love as strong as that of
mother, and the children will ever re-
member the fond admonitions that
fell from her lips while guiding them
to the paths of rectitude.
During her illness she was attended
by the best physicians of Louisville,
but skill could not check the ravageS
| of disease that sooner or later must
prove fatal. Her children watched at
her bedside and with tender hands aud
bleeding hearts, they did all in their
power to make her passing easy.
The remains reached here Friday
night about 1890 o'clock, and were
conveyed to the home of Mr.. M. Cra-
vens, where the deceased resided when
not at the home of her daughter in
Louisville, and during the day Satur-
! day, friends constantly called to take
the last view of one they had known
and respected for many years.
Besidesthe children named she leaves
one brother, Mr.. W. II. Wilson, Camp.
bellsVille, two sister, Mrs. ]. A. Young
and Miss Ola Wilson, the two latter
residing here, and number of nieces
and nephews.
The funeral services were held at the
Christian church Saturday afternoon
at O'Clock, conducted by her pastor,
ED. 2, T. Williams, assisted by Rev,
B. T. Watson, of the Presbyterian
church. The pastor paid a glowing
tribute to her memory, and Rev. Wat.
son offered beautiful and consoling
prayer.
The interment was in the city Gem
etery BESIDE her loved ones. The flora
offerings were beautiful.
