Mrs: Cornelia Choate Dies in Colorado. R emains IVere Brought to Hawkinsville Y ester Jay 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.
