MRS. S. E. WATERMAN

One Of Ocala's best, most loved
women passed to her reward when
Mrs. Sarah E. Waterman died at the
home of her son, U. r. Waterman, in
Gainesville, Ga, Friday, Sept. 10, and
the regret for her death is deep and
widespread. The news of her death
was surprise, for she was one of
those who bore her years lightly, her
constant efforts for the solicitude to-
ward others keeping her heart ever in
youthfulness that was reflected in
her face and expressed in her bearing.
The last time the writer ever saw her,
she was engaged in some small task
to add to the joy of her two little
grandchildren, and it seemed then
that many years of usefulness were
yet before her.
Mrs. Waterman was born and rear
ed in Marion county. her birthplace
being at old Fort King, near Ocala
She was daughter of Ulrich Reddick,
who was a pioneer citizen of this
county, and who died many years ago
She was the widow of Alden Water
man, who died of yellow fever in Tam
pa over thirty years ago.
Mrs. Waterman is survived by two
sons and two daughters, U. r. Water
man, at whose home she died; H. A.
Waterman and Mrs. Georgia Newsom
Of this city, and Mrs. j. B. HERS of
Miami. There was another son. Mr..
John Waterman, who died few years
ago. She was sister-in-law of the
late Mrs. Robert Bullock
Having brought up a housefull of
sons and daughters, all of whom in
their own lives have shown the inf1u-
cree of a good mother, Mrs. Water
man of late years gave most of her
attention to the two little children of
her son, John-Robert and Ivia-who
while she lived did not know what it
Waterman had taken this bright little
boy and girl to school in South
Carolina and gone over into Georgia
to visit her son. U. r. Waterman, at
his home in Gainesville, when death
came to her.
Mrs. Waterman's remains, acom-
panied by Mr.. U. R. Waterman, arriv-
ed in Jacksonville Saturday, where
they were met by one of her daugh-
tiers, Mrs. J. B. HERS, and children,
from Miami, and all came on home to-
gether, arriving Saturday afternoon.
Sunday afternoon, at o'clock, the
funeral services were held at the
home of Mrs. w. V. Newsom, Rev.
Smith Hardin aided by Rev. C. M.
/ Britain officiating. Mrs. Waterman
was member of the Presbyterian
church, but no minister of that faith
was in the city; this, however, made
little difference, as the departed was
well beloved by all members of other
churches who knew her. The services
were very largely attended. The re-
mains, followed by a long cortege OF
sorrowing friends. were carried to
Greenwood and laid to rest by the
body of Mrs. Waterman's son John
who died a few years ago.
The sincere sympathy of all their
friends is with the sorrowing children
who have lost what can never be re.
placed this side of Heaven-a gooc
mother.

Beatrix Michelna is not very well
known to Ocala motion picture pat
rons, but her appearance in "Just
SGuaw," at the Temple Saturday,
made a splendid impression. Possessed
of unusual beauty and high talents,
Mss Michelena was a success as an
operate star before entering on
screen career. "Just Squaw" was the
story of beautiful girl who was
kidnapped as child and reared by
squaw as her own. The stigma of
half-breed, which the girl bore, was
a barrier between her and the man
she loved, but the final scene discloses
her true parentage, and the barrier
being removed. everything ended
happily. The picture was a good
western romance with beautiful seen
cry, depicting primitive life, and the
usual gun play and hand to hand
fights.
