Death Of Mrs. J. A. Hickson,
Mrs. Nettie Reveire Hickson,
wife of Mr. J. A. Hickson, died at
their home about five miles west
of Perry last Thursday morning.
She had- been quite ill with pneu
monia just a week,
Friday morning funeral serv
ices were conducted in the Perry
Methodist church. Rev. B. E.
Whittington preached the sermon,
assisted by Rev. J. W. Simmons.
The burial was in Evergreen
Cemetery, attended by a large
concourse of friends with loving
relatives.
Mrs. Hickson, nee Miss Lucy
Antoinette Reviere, was born in
Upson county, November 15th,
1842. On February 22nd, 1872
she married Mr. James A. Hick
son, and not long thereafter sh9
came to Houston county with her
husband, and here the remainder
of her life was spent.
In early girlhood she became a
member of the Methodist church,
and her life has been in accord
with the solemn vows she then
assumed. A devoted wife, loving
mother, kind, true and charitable
neighbor, genuine Christianity was
ever with her the foundation of
thought and action.
No imposing monument of mar
ble could more surely perpetuate
the memory of this good woman
than will the affection for her that
is enshrined in the hearts of those
who knew her well and loved her
much.
Surviving 'lierare the husband,
an afflicted daughter, brothers,sis
ters, and other relatives, and with
these sorrowing ones many
f riends most tenderly sympathise.
Death of Mrs. “Bert" Hartley.
Mrs. Elizabeth Hartley, wife of
Mr. Elbert Hartley, died at their
home in the sixth district, about
three miles from Byron, on Tues
day of last week, February 18th,
The burial was in the Walker bur
ial ground Wednesday afternoon,
attended by all the people of the
neighborhood, by whom she was
greatly honored.
She had been quite sick for
five weeks ;$was tenderly nursed by
relatives and friends, and all that
the physician’s skill could suggest
was done, but without avail;
the Master had issued his sum
mons.
Mrs. Hartley, nee Miss Eliza
beth McGehee, was born in Bibb
county, Ga., in 1889. While quite
a young lady she was married to
Mr. David Avora, and he was
killed in the Civil war. Of this
marriage there were two children,
now Mrs. David J. Walker and
Mr. David Avera.
Later she was married to Mr.
Elbert Hartley, and of that mar
riage there were three children,
now Mrs. T. H. Brown, Mrs. Lu
ther Howard and Mr. Virgil Hart
ley. Besides these, sons and
a lters, the aged husband, a
er,a sister and several grand
children survive her.
Mrs. Hartly was a Christian la
dy in the best sense of the word,
true' and faithful to every duty,
kind, helpful and sympathetic in
her intercourse with others.
A truly good woman has been
call to her eternal reward, and
the bereaved husband, sons,
daughters and other relatives
have the sinoere Sympathy of
their many friends throughout
this county and that of her birth.
