1111 ESTIMABLE WOMAN
PUSSES
Death of Mrs. R. M. Gaines
Saturday Strikes Many
Hearts With Grief.
A death which brought sadness
and sorrow to an entire community
was that of Mrs. R. M. Gaines last
Saturday at noon at the home of the
family on West Avenue in Carters
ville.
Mrs. Gaines was born and raised
in Cartersville and was know r n
throughout the city by old and
young alike. As Miss Willie Vandi
\er, the daughter of Capt. and Mrs.
Sanford Vandiver, she was 'remem
bered as a sprightly, bright, lovable
young woman who counted her
friends by the number of her ac
quaintances. Possessed of a kindly
nature, she was in sympathy with
all about her both in joy and sorrow.
She was esteemed as a woman pos
sessing more than usual, the true
womanly charms.
On March 20, 1898 she was married
to Mr. R. M. Gaines, now city com
missioner of Cartersville, and the
match has always been considered
an ideal one. The home life was hap
py and beautiful in all respects
without a sorrow until the death a
few months ago of thier oldest
daughter, Mattie Lou Gaines. This
was a sad shock to the happiness of
Mrs. Gaines, and it is known by
those who were near to her that her
grief was almost uncontrollable,
lasting up until the eve of her death.
She was particularly fond of
children and was knowrn by the
children throughout the city as a
friend who sympathized with them
and willing at all times to make
pleasure for them. Her home was a
meeting place for the children in
the immediate neighborhood as well
as those young friends of the family
who lived at a distance. These felt
themselves at all times welcome,
and were in fact so, and a large por
tion of Mrs. Gaines’ life was given
to the young folks and their happi
ness.
She was a consistent and active
member of the Methodist church
and a teacher in the Sunday school
of the Sam Jones Memorial church,
and in this and other capacities
gladly and efficiently performed all
her duties,.
Her death- came as a shock to
both family and friends and with
out scarcely a moment’s warning.
About to become a mother, she was
seized with a convulsion, which in
a few seconds ended her life togeth
er with that of the young born, and
both were laid away tenderly in the
same casket and buried at Oak Hill
cemetery Monday morning at ten
o’clock, the services being conduct
ed by Rev. W. T. Hunnicutt from the
home.
She leaves a husband and three
children, Guy, Margaret and Rich
ard, and the sympathies of the en
tire community have gone out with
an all embracing tenderness toward
these who have been so suddenly
stricken' and bereft of wife and
mother.

HOSPITAL REVENUES
YET INADEQUATE
While Much Good Is Being
Done There Is Need For
Public Support.

been establish'd ami is being son
“cessfully conducted by Miss Sadie
Williams. It fulfills one of Carter*,
vilie's greatest needs and the good*
faithful work that is being done i j
Miss Williams for live sick of our
town can not be estimated.
Asa matter of information aft w

Miss Williams in her splendid wo- fc.
On Tuesday, Thursday and Smut y
afternoons she will be pfou->d io
have any one come to the hospitd
and whoever knows of jier work
will heroine interested.
Miss Williams is the sate owner
of the hospital and no other persi ■
is in any way connected with the
management. It is a business prop
osition and necessarily has to he.
However, since the opening 4,
least one-third of the patients have
been charity cases for which Mis*
Williams has received only a I rifle
and, in many cases, has been much
In debt for the services given,
counting all the cases treated, she
has barely made expenses and not

Several private individuals, se dug

to the hospital. The aounty has giv

G. W. YOUNG, Mayor.
Aside from donations of private
individuals, this is the only aid Mi*i
Williams has received for all l.he
work she has done without 1 ecom

It can he readily seen therefor**
that, however much her heart be
in the work, it is simply impossible
for her to care for any patient, with
out recompense from some source.
No patient can be taken for less
than ten dollars per week for any
o’ne w ith any knowledge of hospitals
is aware of the heavy expense in
volved. Every patient is .treated with
the same courtesy and givi n the
proper care and attention. In fact,
all the affairs of the institution ai-e
run on the fairest basis. These facts
are simply given lo the public in b
half of Miss Williams and in appro- j
riation of her splendid work. E-M
cry fair minded person will readily
see that however ck serving a casej
might be Miss Williams can not he
asked to care for them without due
recompense. She does not complain;
of (lie denial she has personally suf-s
ferf'd. She only asks for due consid
eration.
Also to correct wrong impression
abroad, >the city has not given $20.00
per month. It only gave that amount
lo relieve an embarrassing situation.
However, it is believed and hoped
that at some future time the cily
may be able to give financial aid for
this needed work.
Miss Williams appreciates lite co
operation and interest given her and
asks its continuance.
H is the duty of every citizen ot
our town to appreciate such an
stitution, both as a humanitnei r
and civic asset and to realize its mi*
lining good.
