Many hearts in Scotland county
were burdened with great sorrow Sun
day afternoon when the announce
ment came bearing the intelligence of
the passing of Mrs. Kate A. Middle
ton, whose death occurred just at the
close of the Sabbath day at the home
of her sister, Mrs. D. Z. Hardin.
"God touched her with his finger
and she slept", the poet wrote. So
we may say of this good woman
"God touched her with his finger and
she slept", but not until a beautiful
life stretching out over a period of
eighty-one years and four months was
lived, a noble example of patience, fi
delity to truth and faith was given.
She was a true friend, and her devo
tion to those she loved, and to her
dear friends, would make a bright
chapter in any life. Her journey
through life was a path marked with
deeds of kindness and cheer, and not
only do her loved ones mourn her
passing, but her friends, and they
are many, mingle their heart-felt
grief as welK
She was born in Scotland county
and loved the land of her nativity and
gave all of her life to its good. More
than sixty years ago she connected
herself with the Laurel Hill Presby
terian church and was one of its old
est members at her death.
Naturally her health, because of the
burden of years, had not been strong
for sometime past, but up until a few
days before her passing she was as
well and as strong as usual. Sunday
she began to show signs of a rapid
weakening, and at six o'clock the
separation came.
The funeral, which was attended by
a great concourse of sorrowing friends
and relatives, was held at the home
of her sister, Mrs. D. Z. Hardin Tues
day morning at 10:00 o'clock, and was
conducted by her pastor, Rev. J. H.
Dixon. The interment was made at
the city cemetery.
The floral offerings were most pro
fuse and beautiful, speaking tenderly
of the great love and devotion of
those who brought them as a last
token of that love and esteem.
Mrs. Middleton is survived by two
sisters, Mrs. T. J. Breeden, of Ben
nettsville, S. C, and Mrs. D. Z. Har
din, of Laurel Hill township. She is
also survived by three nephews, Mr.
Russell Middleton, of Jacksonville,
Fla., Mr. Joseph Middleton, of Wil
mington, Mr. John Middleton, of
Brunswick, Ga., and one neice, Mrs
D. A. Smith, of Laurinburg.
