Death of an ESlimable Woman.

Last Thursday forenoon at 10 o'clock
Mrs. Abbie Cheatham died at her
home on Bomar Heights, this place.
Her death was not surprise, as she
had been in low state of health for
some weeks. The deceased was a Miss
Vaughn before her marriage, and she
was born and reared in Cumberland
county. Her husband is also a native
of said county, and it was there that
they were married.
A short time after their union they
removed from Cumberland county to
Columbia, where they have resided
continuously.
Early in life 1.-THE deceased being six
ty-four years old at her death.) she
confessed her Savior, united with the
Christian Church, living conSecrated
life until called hence. Her husband
is now left alone, as no children were
born of this union. She iSSurVived by
two brothers and several sisters, and
to them and the lonely husband this
town extends its profoundest sympa-
thy.
The funeral services were conducted
Friday afternoon, in the presence of
many friends, by Ed. z. T. Williams,
at the residence, and at the close all
that was mortal of this good woman
was laid to rest in the city cemetery.
There were many floral offerings.
