DIED
On Wednesday last in this city at
the residence of her daughter, Mrs. G.
T. Wiedenman, after a protracted ill
ness, Mrs. Minerva C. Thomas, about
76 or 78 years of age. She was the
mother of Mrs. Wiedenman, Mrs. Dr.
Smith and Mrs. L. H. Thomas, all of
this city. She spent the greater part
if not the whole of her life in this
county, where she enjoyed the respect
of all who knew her and the esteem
of many friends. She was a lady of a
most benevolent character, being
noted for her untiring attention to the
sick, and died with probably not an en
emy in the world.
She had for many years been a cori-
sistant memberof the Baptist Church,
and that denomination having no
church building of their own here,
her funeral services were conducted at
the Methodist Church, by her pastor,
Rev. Mr. Beck. After thier conclu
sion a number of her friends accom
panied her remains to our city ceme
tery, where they were consigned to
their final resting place.
