OBITUARIES

 

 

MRS. M. STEVERSON
Mrs. M. Steverson, an aged lady who has lived alone for several years at the old Parmalee place on the south side of town, died Monday afternoon, after a short illness. She has no relatives in this section and her niece who lives in St. Louis, and who was telegraphed for when the illness became serious, did not arrive here until Tuesday.

 

 
MISS FANNY LOU CAWTHON
Sunday afternoon as the sun was sinking behind the western horizon all that was mortal of Miss Fannie Lou Cawthon was placed in its last resting place in the City Cemetery, she having passed away Saturday afternoon (Sept 16, 1911), after an illness of some two weeks from typhoid fever. Lovely, loving and loved in all that those words imply her death is felt as a personal loss by the entire community in which she grew up, and the attendance at the funeral which was held at the Universalist church, of which she was a devoted member, was attended by the largest crowd ever at a funeral of any lady in DeFuniak, the services being conducted by the pastor, Rev. Thomas Chapman, assisted by Rev. Lynn R. Walker, of the Presbyterian church. It is not ours to question the ways of Infinity, but to finite mortality it seems hard that one so young, with such bright prospects before her of happiness and usefulness to her family, the community and her church, should be taken away, but we know that He doeth all things well for those who love and serve Him as did she. As a member of society, a worker in the church and Sunday school, and a teacher in the public school she will be missed more than anyone else we could name. Human sympathy in times like this sounds like hollow mockery, and nothing that we can say will express for the bereaved family the heartfelt sorrow of every one who knew her.

Man Strickland of Ebro was a caller in Bruce on Monday having as an excuse that he wanted to buy a wagon. Better a little one than none at all.

ALLEN CAMPBELL Obituary
“Uncle Allen” Dead. (Laurel Hill News)

 

 
It was last Monday night (Sept 5, 1911) at about 1 o’clock that the death angels descended from Heaven and entered the home of Daniel Campbell, who lives four miles west of town, and beckoned to the saintly father and grandfather, “Uncle Allen” Campbell, to come heavenwardly. This saintly old father was born May 28th, 1828, and died Sept. 5th, 1911, which made him upwards of 83 years of age, and was borned and lived all his life within three miles of where he died, and if he had an enemy in all this country, we have never heard of it; on the other hand everybody liked and honored him.
There were children borned and reared by him and his wife, who preceeded him to the great beyond several years ago; eleven children — four sons and seven daughters. The four sons are P. J., W. A., R. A. and Daniel, all of whom still survive, the four daughters living are Mesdames John Harrison, John Steele and Sam Fowler, those dear are Mesdames J. W. Gaskin, Roe Richbourg, J. L. Clary, Sr., and J. J. Moore.
All told he had fifty-two grand children and twenty-two great grand children, and there were present at the burial two hundred and twenty-nine relatives.
Interment was made in the old Clary Cemetery near where he was borned and reared, the Rev. J. E. Holley, of Flomaton, Ala., conducting the burial ceremony in the presence of what was said to be the largest crowd ever gathered beside a grave in this part of the country.  –Laurel Hill News.
