MRS. A. H. HENDRICKS.
A death of unusual sadness was
that of Mrs. Ruth Edwards
Hendricks, wife of Mr. A. H. Hen
dricks, cashier of the Bank of
Mauk, which occurred at her home
at Mauk yesterday afternoon after
an illness of only a few days from
influenza combined with compli
cations.
Mrs. Hendricks was one of the
county’s most estimable women
and her death grieves the hearts
of all who knew her. She was
about 28 years old, and before
her marriage was Miss Ruth Ed
wards, of LaGrange. .About six
years ago she was united in mar
riage to Mr. A. H. Hendricks, of
Franklin, Ga., but now of this
county and one of Taylor’s most
successful business men. Their
married life was an unusually
happy one, has been brightened
and blessed by one daughter, Ruth
Edwards Hendricks, four years of
age, and she together with the
grief-stricken husband and other
loved ones, have the deepest
sympathy of all our people.
Mrs. Hendricks had been a mem
ber of the Methodist church for
many years, and her life was re
plete with acts of Christian love
and sympathy.
Her remains, it is understood,
will be carried to LaGrange today
for interment by the side of her
parents both of whom pre
ceded her to the glory world.
To Mr. Hendricks and his little
daughter, upon whom the blow
falls most heavily, and to all oth
ers who mourn the passing of this
splendid woman, the Herald sends
assurances of kindest and most
sincere sympathy.
Later.—Since the above it is un
derstood that Mrs. Hendricks is
also survived by an infant child of
only four days.

Poi’ter Gorman, the son of
Hon. and Mrs. O. D. Gonnan of

and departed this life November

i Thus, as the budded i-ose

and fragrance of a full developed
flower lending brightness and
gladness to this world. so it was
with Poi-tei-, sixteen yeai-s of
age; just as his life was unfold

glory of young manhood, there
by enhancing the joy of the fam
ily circle ar.d adding to the hap
piness and sunshine of his many
loved ones
Porter was a babe in his moth

knew him, and owing to the close
ties of love and friendship which
have bound and still bind the
writer lo the family oi this de
parted young man, he has obsei-
ved Porter advancing fx-om child
hood to boyhood and noted the
brightness of nis mind, his
readiness to learn and the quick
ness with which he acquii-ed
knowledge, and then he wanted
to be accurate concerning the
tnings that he learneu; to know
that they were true and coi-i-eet.
To have coupled with his
strong mentality the genial,
sunshiney disposition which
chai’acterized him in his associ
ation in the playground, the
school i-oom and the borne cii-cle.
No matter where, his presence
was a ray of br : ght sunshine,
brightning the lives of those
with whom he came in contact.
Last year ne gave his heai-t to
God and united with the Metho
dist chui-ch at Mauk, and has so
often expressed the peace and
happiness which he found in the
fellowship with God’s people.
But Porter is gone. The
sweet, warm-hearted spirit
which moved and actuated hint
in this life, has gone to the God
who gave it The chaix- about
the home cirelx will ever remain
vacant. The voice will ever be
hushed in the silence of death.
The merry sparkle of the eye
and the winsome smile will only
live in menioxy sweet and cher
ished by those who knew him
only to love him, and like the
fragi-ance of the new blown rose
will live as long as life shall last.
To the broken hearted father

was always found trying to do
mat which was light towai-d
his fellow-man. He always had
a kind word and pleasant smile
for all with whom he came in
contact.
Mr. Taunton leaves a bereaved
mothei - , a heart-stricken wife
and two small children to mourn
