At about 9 o’clock last Wednes
day morning, November 25th,
Mrs. Priscilla Virden Elliott died
at the home of her son-in-law and
daughter, Mr. and Mrs. W. J.
Cheekj, near' Small Aoademy.
The burial was iu Evergreen
cemetery at Perry Thursday af
ternoon.
She was born in Upson county,
Ga., on April 6th, 1884, (Miss
Priscilla Virden.)
On March 10th, 1858 she was
married to Mr. Thomas Elliott,
and thereafter she lived in Pike
county until 1894, Then for
three years she lived with her
sen-in-law and daughter iu Macon
rouuty, her husband and oue
daughter Having preceded her to
the “Better Land.”
During the last 8 years she lived
in Houston county, most of that
time in declining health. \
Of her immediate family only
one daughter survives her, Mrs.
W. J. Cheek.
Since girlhood she was an ex
emplary member of the Method
ist church, her life being in word
and deed in thorough harmony
with her profession of Christiani
ty. Though continually ill five
or six mouths prior to her death,
she bore her afflicton with Chris
tian fortitude, knowing that
health oould not be reoovered.
She was indeed a good woman,
true to duty and her obligations
to God and mankind.
Her life was well-rounded in
all that makes true Christianity,
and the memory of her most ad
mirable oharaoter iB a rich legaoy
to those who loved her.
While the sincere sympathy
aocoaded by many friends is ear
nest and true, only Divine Will
can'give consolation to the bereav
ed daughter and other ^relatives'.
A truly good woman has been
called to her eternal reward.
