MRS. S. A. ANDERSON
DIED HERE TUESDAY

81 pray thee then
Write me as one who loves his fell
low men,"
1t is a beautiful and consoling re-
membrance to the family of Mrs.
Saxon A. Anderson that her last
conscious words were such as these
noted lines. When her nephew, Mr..
Guy Lindley, came to her bedside
few days ago she recognized him
and said: 81 love you, Guy. o l loye
everybody" Then she close} her
eyes and did not open them again up
on earthly scenes. Everyone who
knew her can testify that she was
such a woman as must have been IN
the poets mind when he wrote "feel-
ing or thought that,was not true meier
made less beautiful the blue Gacl@2Sd-
ed heaven of heB eyes," She was
uneenly woNlaM in every way, TAN
stately blonde with weabth of god
den haar and b@ae eyes that were ad-
ways responsive to the emotions OF
her friem@s ard even acquaintance.
She was always an agreeable eonpsn-
ion, a gpa@ious and admirable hos
tess, kinod friend, a true wife, an
affeetaonate AND devoted mother.
Since the death of her husband she
has had cloud of sorrow in her
heart bat it did onot affect BIER syna-
pathetHc interest in her dearest loved
ones and frienPas.
She was born in Powder Springs
October 9th 1848 and was Miss
Mamie Lindley before her marriage
on November 18th 1873 in the house
where she was born, to Mr.. Saxon
Askew Anderson. She is survived
by one sister, Mrs. w. j. Manning,
one brother, Mr.. J. F. P. Lindley,
two widowed asisters-in-law, Mrs. Ke-
rem Kirkpatrick Lindley and Mrs.
Margaret Anderson Lindley, two chill
dren, Mrs. Tilden Conner and MIR.
William Patrick Anderson, and two
grand children, Saxon Anderson Con-
ner and Mamie Lindley Conner. Be
side these she leaves many nephews
and nieces, cousins and countless dear
friends.
The pall-bearers were Mr.. George
Griffin, her own nephews, Charles
Guy, and Joe Lindley, and her hus-
bands nephew, William A. DuPre and
Mr.. Austin McCleskey.
The funeral services were conduct
ed by Mrs. Anderson's pastor, DIR.
Rembert Smith, assisted by the pre-
siding elder, Rev. J. P. Erwin, who
led in prayer and DR.. j. H. Patton,
of the Presbyterian church, who read
the New Testament lesson from the
18th chapter of First Corinthians and
made very tender and appropriate
talk.
DR.. Smith read the 23rd Psalm by
her special request and also instead
Of an Old Testament lesson only the
26th verse of the 9Th Chapter OF
Job: ''Thou shalt come to thy grave
in full age, like as shock OF corn
cometh in in his season.. From this
verse and the sweet comforting
psalm DIR. Smith made an address on
the life and character of the dear
sister who had passed away near the
close of the three score and ten years
allotted to man as ripe age, and
closed with fervent prayer.
Those who had known and loved
her could only gaze with dim eyes
upon her face so placid and peaceful
and think
"He giveth His beloved sleep.
Mrs. M. D. Hodges was at the
piano and Mrs. Patton, Mrs.-Wyatt,
Mr. George Beyerle and Mr.. Homer
Lewis sang Nearer My God To
Thee. Sometime Wen Understand"
and "Abide With Me-. Mrs. Wyatt
SANG as a solo, tenderly and softly,
Good Will Take Care of You"
The flowers were very fresh and
lovely as it was golden day with
only a breath of autumnal GOODNESS
in the air. The casket held only the
long cross of white asters and lilies
