Death Of Mrs. S. P. Houser.

er, wife of Mr. Sam P. Houser,
died in Perry last Saturday morn
ing

ducted at 11 o’clook Sunday
morning, at the home of Mr. C.
P. Marshall, by Rev. B. E. Whit
tington. assisted by Revs. Albert
S. Dix and T. W. Tucker.
The burial was in Evergreen
Cemetery, attended by a very
large number of friends, with rel
atives from Macon, Dublin, Mar-
shallville, Fort Valley and other
sections of this county.
Mrs. Houser was about 26 years
of age, only daughter of Mr. Geo.
S. Haslam of Perry. On Wed
nesday, November 8th, 1899, she
was married to Mr. Sam P. Hous
er, at the residence of Mr 0. P.
Marshall in Perry, and then they
went to Dublin to live. Several
months ago they returned for a
temporary sta^ while Mr. Houser,
who is a contractor, was engaged
in building houses here. They
were boarding at the home of Mr.
C. P. Marshall. Friday morning
before she died on Saturday, the
household thought Mrs. Houser
was muoh improved, and that she
would get well.
She was an exemplary member
of the Methodist church, a true
Christian lady. Lovely in form
and feature, loveable in disposi
tion and character, she was quite
popular with all who knew her,
and every acquaintance was a
friend.
Her death was an exceedingly
severe affliction to the father,
husband and the infant daughter
only three dayB old when she
died. To these sorrowing ones,
and the other loving relatives, the
tender sympathy of many friends
is sincerely extended.
The infant daughter has been
taken in charge by Mr. and Mrs.
C. W. Houser of Kathleen, broth
er and sister-in-law of the father.
Death of a Little Qirl.
Last Sunday morning Marjorie,
ageg three years and four days,
youngest daughter of Mr.and Mrs.
Andrew A. Smoak, died at their
home at Perry.
The little girl Was apparently
in perfect health 24 hours before
her death. At about 11 o’clock
Saturday morning, the child was
at the home of Mr. W. W. How
ard, and was there attacked by a
spell of nausea. Taken directly
home, the family physician was
summoned, but no relief oame in
response to the treatment appli
ed.
The burial was in Evergreen
Cemetery Sunday afternoon, at
tended by a considerable number
of friends. The service was con
ducted by Revs. Albert S. Dix and
B. E. Whittington.
Being the baby of the house
hold, little Marjorie was the pet
of parents and sisters, and the be
reavement, is exceedingly sore.
They have the tender sympathy
of their many friends.
The Heavenly Father hath but
claimed his own.

and young lady was well-known

daughter who are sorely bereved.
