Miss Elsie Terry Dead

The people of this community were
shocked to learn Thursday morning
of the death of Miss Elsie Terry,
which occurred at 10:30 o'clock Wed
nesday night in Abingdon, Va, death
being due to flu and pneumonia.
She became i'll about two weeks
ago, and on Monday of last week, in
response to an alarming telegram,
her mother, Mrs S. A. Terry, of Jack
sons River, left for Abingdon, being
Joined by another daughter, Miss
Hazel, who is teaching in Dayton Va,
A message from Mrs. Terry, after
her arrival in Abingdon, was reas-
surfing, and since then friends of the
family here were under the impress
ion that her case was progressing
favarably, and such was doubtless
the supposition there since Miss Hazel
had. returned to her work at Dayton.
A telegram received Wednesday
night stated that Miss Elsie's condit-
ion was serious,and a second telegram
Thursday morning braught the sad
news of her death.
Miss Elsie was the second daughter
| of the late H. H. Terry and is sur
yived by her mother, three brothers
and thee sisters. She was about 20
years of age and entered the Martha
Washington College at Arlington last
fall. In the spring of 1913 she grad
uated from the Monterey High School
having taken the full four years
course. During her school days in
Monterey she won the friendship and
admiration of all who were associat-
ed with her. She possessed a loveable
even-tempered disposition, and by
her modest department and cordial
manner won the esteem and friend
ship of all who knew her. 1t may be
truly said that her untimely death
has cast a gloom over the entire COM
munity.
The remains are being brought
home for interment, but at this hour
no. time has been set for the funeral,
which will probably be some time
Saturday.
