Mrs. Winston Layfield, widow of
the late Mr. J. N. Layfield. died at
her "home at Hardwick Thursday,
August 1st, in the late afternoon.
Mrs. Layfield, who had reached a
ripe old age, happened to an acci
dent, dislocating one of her hips, two
weeks prior to her death. The acci

a serious one, but only a short while
before her death, which was due
to heart failure, she was apparent-

shock to her loved ones.
The funeral services were held at
the Midway Methodist church Sat
urday morning, at eleven o’clock,
Rev. J. F. Yarbrough officiating.
The remains were interred in the
city cemetery by the side of those
of Mr. Layfield, who passed away
several years ago. The services were
largely attended by friends and ac
quaintances.
Mrs. Layfield before her mnrriage
was Miss Winston Layfield and was
born in Hancock county, her rodent-

ried Mr. J. N. Layfield, and the
greater portion of her life of more
than eighty years was spent in the
neighborhood in which she died.
