The Covington leader. (Covington, Tenn.) 18??-current, 1922-07-20
GOOD WOMAN PAS
TO her REWARD


Mrs. Prank Dobrowolski, who was
buried in Munford cemetery last Sun
day afternoon at 2 o'clock, was a ma
tive Of Upton county. She was born
on a farm near Covington, and was a
daughter Of Benjiman and Susan San
ford, both OF whom preceded her to
the grave. He parents were worthy
members Of our best pioneer stock,
and from them she inherited not only
lofty ideals and traditions, but great
reverence and respect for the re-
ligion Of Jesus Christ. Her father
was a member Of that large an in
fluential family Of the name, who
have played so prominent a part in
enriching the history of this county,
and her mother was a sister Of the
Hon. Zach Taylor, at one time repre-
sentative Of the Tenth congressional
district of Tennessee in Congress, and
the Hon. Thomas j. Taylor, former
sheriff Of this county and former
trustee of our sister county Of Shelby.
In daughter Of such parents one
would naturally expect a woman Of
personal charm and great loveliness
Of character, and one found just such
one is Susie Sanford.
Her environment, like her inheri-
tance, was ideal, and her Christian
parents Needed the admonition to
train a child in the way he should
20 and when he is old he will not de-
part from it," Early in life she join
ed the church and ever afterwards
was a consistent and willing follower
Of the meek and lowly Nazerene. She
sought to learn Gods will concerning
her life, made a definite acceptance
Of Jesus Christ as her Lord and Saw
ion and developed truly Christian
character by right living, public wor
ship and efficient service. Being thus
prepared to meet her God, her sud-
den taking-off, instead Of causing a
great shock to her loved ones left,
should be a source of endless comfort
and satisfaction to them. She had
planned a visit to her girlhood friend
and kinswoman, Mrs. j, S. Ruffin,
this week, but instead of making that
visit in the vigor of life, only her
tenement Of clay" was brought into
the home of her dearly beloved friend.
In the bloom Of health and happi-
ness up to Wednesday of last week,
she died suddenly Friday night in the
Gartley- Ramsey Hospital, Memphis,
Tenn, from the effects of a surgical
operation for appendicitis just two
nights before.
Her funeral was conducted by Rev.
L. ]. Sheriff., pastor the First Pres
byterian church, at the residence of
Mr.. and Mrs. j. S. Ruffin on last
Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock, after
which, followed by large concourse
Of sorrowing friends and relatives,
her remains were laid to rest in Mum
ford cemetery beneath a wilderness
of lovely floral offerings.
This truly loveable and loving
woman was at the time of her death
a member of the First Presbyterian
church of Baton Rouge, La, her
home. While she had not been
resident of that city a great length
of time, she had endeared herself to
its good people by her many deeds Of
Christian charity and diligent and
faithful work for the Master. IN
good pastor will sadly miss her UNI
selfish aid in his pastoral labOrs, and
the brethren in the church, as well
as the loved ones she left behind,
will ever cherish her memory as a
green spot in the oasis Of life.
She is survived by her husband
and a daughter of tender years, one
brother, Mr., Benjiman Sanford, of
Blytheville, Ark, and three sisters,
Mrs. A. B. Patton and Misses ia q
and Annie Sanford, Of Memphis, who
have the profound svmpathy of the
numerous and devoted friends of their
absent, but living, wife, mother and
sister. **#
