And AH rain and Anguish Ceased—
The Beautiful Ufe of a Noble
Wotnan Ended—The Funeral
in Athena To-day.
MAX JOSEPH WILL BE WITH US NEXT WEEK!
No message flashing across the wires,
from a distant city ever brought with it
more genuine sorrow than that which
brought the news Friday morning
that Mrs. W. A. Kennon, surrounded
by friends and loved ones, had peace
fully breathed her last at her home in
Brunswick, and gom to join the silent
majority.
In ihe quiet cf the early mornirgthe
finger of the Almighty touched the
tired eyelids into an eternal sleep, and
the voice of the Master called upon the
we try sufferer to lay down her burden
and rest wiihin the bosom of her Father
and her God.
The death of Mrs. Kennon is peculiar
ly sad. But. sixteen months ago she
moved among her host of friends in
Athens as Miss Mattie Grady, and who
among them uan read that name to-day
without brushing away the unbidden
tear. Led to the marriage altar on
June 25th 1S91 by Mr. William A. Ken
non, of Brunswick, she became a faith
ful and devoted wife, and in that happy
home in that city was the idol of hus
band, idatives and friends.
“Death loves a shining mark’ 1 and
fell disease laid its fatal touch upon Ibis
lovely and accomplished daughter of
the Classic City. Three weeks ago she
was taken with the Bickness that ended
her life, and during that time all that
loving hands could do for her relief
was done, but to no avail.
“life's fitful fever o’er, she rests well.’’
Mrs. KennoD was the youngest child
of Msj. and Mrs. W. S. Grady, and was
the only sister of the lamented Henry
W. Grady and of Mr. William S. Grady,
Jr., and the niece of Mrs. J. W. Nich
olson, of this city. She was born in
Athens, and the greater portion of her
life was spent in this city.
She was a great favorite of her dis
tinguished and noble brother, and some
of the most tender and touching letters
ever written by that great journalist,
orator, and patriot were written to her.
In early youth she joined the Metho
dist oburoh, and nntil the day of her
death was a devout and consistent
member. Especially was she fond of
the little children, and fir many years
was the guiding spirit in the work of
the Juvenile Missionary Society of
the First Methodist church of this city.
In the city of her nativity, where
Bhe was known &ud loved so well, there
is many a saddened beait today, and
among all who knew hsr she will be
remembered for her kind and loving
and generous deeds, that will glow
adown the years to come.
To the old mother, called npon a short
while since to give up her manly, noble,
and distinguished son and now to lay
to rest her only beloved daughter, the
tenderest sympathies of the com mu
nity go out. And to him who cherished
her as wife, and to ail bound to her by
ties of affection and love this sympathy
is extended.
The funeral takes place at the First
Methodist church tc day at 12:45 o’clock,
and will be conducted by Rev. T. R.
Kendall.
The J uvenilo Missionary Society of
the First Methodist church are re
quested to meet at the parsonage at
12:15 o’clock and to bring floral offer
ings.
The choir will conuist of Mrs. J. W.
Brumby, Mrs. H. H. Carlton, Mr. J
M. Hodgson, and Prof. C. M. Straban.
The following pill-be&rera are re
quested to meet at the store of Messrs.
J. S. King & Co., at 12:15 o’clock: Mr
E. R. Hodgson, Prof. D. C. Barrow, Dr.
John A. Hnnnicutt, Messrs. J. S. King,
T. W. Reed, and W. M. Crane.
