jtJLV i8; 1916.
AND GENERAL. '
frix a notica or Mrs.
. Mrs. Ann A. Millford: widow
of the late Judge Thomas Bailey
Millford, of Abbeville, S: (X, died
at the .residence of her son, John
H. , Ho&an in' jGoiumbus, Tues
day, July. 26, at ,2 30 p. ni. Mrs.
Millford had been in failin&healtfr
for some time past;-but Jier death
came almost suddenly and pain
lessly in the last hours, a partial
paralytic strode on Tuesday morn
ing breakmgthe last strong chord
that held her to life.
Mrs.. Millford was 78 years bid
on "the 12th , ot this month, and
had been an active and vigorous
woman through life until about
three years ago, when by an ac
cidental fall she sustained inju
ries which weakened her slender
body and gradually wore the life
threads away. " Long years a
member-" of the Baptist :chureh
and always ready and willing .to
answer the cry ot distress or wait
oft the sick or assist wherever her
efforts or hands, were needed - to
lighten the burdens of others she
lived truly a Christ-like life. A
loving and devoted mother to an
only son, (whose grief and sorrow
in this saddened hour checks a
flow of speech or an adequate ex
pression in written words of the
loss in the little family circle, who
will miss and mourn the kindly
face and gentle hand) , a diligent
worker while strength and vital
ity was with her, and a patient
and uncomplaining sufferer in
lameness and disability, the im
age of her presence with those
who knew her in life and' vigor
will ever remain fresh in mem
ory. Her remains were laid to
rest in Trydn Cemetery, Tryon
N. C, Wednesday afternoon,
July 27. ; '
Leave have their time to fall,1
And flowers to wither at the North wind's
breath, '
And stars to set but all,
Thou hast all seasons for thins own, O
Death.
