for Interment
Cornelia Cheat* —Born near Perry
Georgia, July 19, IS4<», Died at
Longmont, Colo., Sept. 27, 1910,
70 years, 2 mouths, 8 days.
On the eve of the massacre of St.
Bartholomew in the year la
moog the many Hugenots who lied
from France to the new world, were
two families named respectively
Roquemore and Dupree. The
Roquemore* settled in Georgia, the
Duprees in \ irginia and the de
scendents of each rose to eminence
and wealth. One hundred and six
yeirs later, a descendant of each,
James lioqucmore and Sarah Du
pree met and were married. Of
this union was horn Sa.'ah t ornelia
Roquemore, now deceased. James
Roquemore was a wealthy southern
planter, owning thousands of acres
of land and hundreds of slaves. For
many yeirs he was provisional gov
ernor of Georgia and had charge of
Indian affairs. The beautiful
young mother died early yet ( orne
lia could clearly remember her.
This bereavement wastl lily sor
row of her young life. Her father
married again and she grew up with
her younger brothers and sisters
and passed a joyous childhood and
girlhood.
While a very young girl Cornelia
entered Wesleyan College at Macon,
(la., where she was graduated at
the age of 17. At the a?e of IS she
was married to James Dearborn
Choate', a descendant of the New
England Choates of Revolutionary
fame. Only three short years of
wedded bliss ami then eametheCiv
il war. Mr. Choate served in the
southern army through the entire
war, the close of which left him
broken in health and fortune, hut
ready to take up the work in recon
struction and to urge his friends
and neighbors to resume their loyal
ty to the stars and stripes.
Mr. and Mrs. Choate, with their
children, remained in Georgia,
w here, in spite of illness and finan
cial loss, they knew much happi
ness until Mr. Choate’s death in
1887. Mrs. Choate and her children
then removed to New 'tork, where
the eldest son made them a comfort
able and happy home for many
years. In 1900 Cornelia Choate
married Dr. L. 11. Smith, and
came to Longmont, Colo., which
place remained her home until her
death. During the ten years spent
in Longmont, she was in business
the greater part of her time and was
held in esteem for her sterling
worth and business integrity.
About six years ago, while en
gaged in her business duties, Mrs.
Choate met with an accident sus
taining severe injuries from which
she never recovered. But, in spite
of physical disabilities, she bravely
struggled as best she could to carry
on her business.
She possessed unusual powers of
body and min i, but hardship and
suffering did their work. She had
a great love of life an l for the beau
tiful things of this world, but was
willing to ».lie and be at rest. She
was a woman ot rare intellect and
broad culture and enjoyed to the ut
most all that appealed to the higher
qualitiis. she was true and loyal
in every relation of life —a faithful,
tie voted wife, a loving mother, and
loyal friend. She love 1 little chil
dren and tlowers an 1 all things
true, 1 tt! mo t of all she loved her
God, her country, and humanity.
In early childhood she gave her
heart to God and her life was ever
that of a true Christian. Keen in
her darkest ltours her faith in God
never wavered. Her deeply affec
tionate nature was expressed in her
last conspicuous words, “I love all
the tyorld and want all the world to
love me. Don’t you know love is
the sweetest thing in the world.”
Cornelia Choate is survived by j
two sons, J. t . and J. D. ( hoate,of
Denver, and three daughters, Cor-
Tllie and Nellie Choate, of Brook-
Outlook has Big
Booster for Smith.
Says That His Triumph Over
Commercilized Morning Pa
per was a Distinct and
Laudable Victory.
Atlanta, Ga. Oet. o. —Theodore
Roosevelt’s paper, ‘‘The Outlook,”
devoted several pages in its current
issue to an article written in praise
|of Hoke Smith as the leading pro
gressive democrat in the south.
By a coincidence it so happens
that these two big men will likely
meet when Col. Roosevelt counts to
Atlanta next Saturday, and it is
possible that they may discuss pol
itical affairs.
The article in question is written
by Professor A. J. McKelway, un
der an Atlanta date. Mr. McKel
way is best known as an advocate
of child labor reform and as secre
tary of the national child labor com
mittee, hut his interest in political
progress is keen and his insignt in
to po itical conditions in Georgia is
comprehensive.
Mr. McKelway opens his essay
with a brief biograpical sketch ot
Hoke Smith, telling how he gradu
ally rose from comparative obscur
ity to prominence and power.
The writer declares that the com
mercialized press of Georgia, parti
cularly certain morning papers,
have been exceedingly unfair to Mr
Smith, and that it was despite their
hitter opposition that he triumphed
in his light against the opposive
power of great corporations and the
political machines which the corpor
ation control.
Mr. McKelway discusses at length
the reforms inaugurated by Mr.
Smith during his first administra
tion and told how the railroads
took advantage of the panic to put
Joseph M. Brown forward and heat
Smith in 1908. Governor Smith’s
rehabilitation in popular esteem be
gan, according to Mr. McKelway,
with the successful termination of
the convict lease system.
In conclusion Mr. McKelway de
clares that Hoke Smith is today
the most eonspieious figure in the
progressive democracy of the south.
