FORMER WALfAILA GIRL DIES
At Her Homo in California-Was
known to Many Here.

The following dispatch contain
ing the announcement of the death of
former Walhalla girl is taken
from California paper:
Highland, GAL, Sept. 1G.--Mrs.
r. G. Mitchenor passed away yestcr-
day afternoon at 3 o'clock at the
Rcdlands Hospital, and relati, es and
friends we're shocked as the news
spread over the community. During
the month of July she was stricken
with appendicitis and was rushed to
the hospital, where she battled
bravely for her life. For days lit
tie encouragement was given to her
family, but gradually the thread of
life grew stronger, and after a
months stay she was brought home,
and there was rejoicing in the lit
tie community where she was known
and loved.
She grew stronger each day, and
was happy in being around her home
and each day visited her parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. r. f. Garner. Of East
Pacific avenue. Yesterday morning
she was taken to the hospital again,
and shortly after noon a baby son
was born, who never opened his
eyes upon the world. Her dear ones
were summoned In the early after
noon, but she slipped over the brink
ere they reached her bedside and
the devoted wife and mother was
gathered to the Great Physician.
Ressie Matilda Garner was born in
Walhalla, S. c., September 4, 1882.
Her parents, Nh. and Mrs. r. e. Gar
ner moved to Texas when she was
between eight and nine years old,
and there she grew up and was edu-
Gated. She was married in Sherman.
Texas, March 2S, 1908, to Ross G..
Mitchenor. She and her husband
made trip to California after her
parents moved here, nearly ten years
ago, and soon after returning to the
Lone Star State the lure Of Califor-
MIA called them back, and for about
eight years they have made their
home here.
Acquaintances soon ripened into
friends, and the sorrow of her fam
lily will be shared by many. Mr.. and
Mrs. Mitchenor early affiliated them
selves with the local Congregational
church, and were both members Of
the splendid 'E. v. Q. class Of that
Sunday school. Sine possessed
beautiful Christian character, and
disposition of rare sweetness, so that
her early death Is like the closing
Of flower, which will bloom here
after. She was the youngest child
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Garner, who are
the parents OF eight sons, six Of
whom are living. Besides her hus-
band and parents she leaves four
children, namely, Thomas Richard,
Emma Louise, John Ross and Mar
garet Eloise.

1000, 900 tons of steel annually" he said.
