A telegram Monday afternoon [May 15, 1911] brought the sad news of the death of Mrs. T. H. Cawthon, at Arcadia, where she went some three weeks ago in the hopes that the change would restore her to health.
The body arrived here Tuesday night, and the funeral was held yesterday morning [Wednesday] from the Presbyterian church of which she was a devoted member, the large crowd present and the wealth of floral tributes bearing testimony to the high esteem in which she was held.
Ever since she has been a resident of De Funiak she has given freely of her time and splendid talents in the aid of every plan of work for schools and churches, and her charm of manner made her a general favorite with all. Her death is not a loss alone to the family, but to the whole community.
