WHITFIELD, FLA., Sept 20 – While sitting at the dinner table last Sunday [September 18, 1910)], Mrs. Mary J. Senterfitt dropped dead from heart failure.
She was the wife of [William Henry] Senterfitt, who about five years ago was found speechless and who died a few minutes after being lost in the woods all night. Mrs. Senterfitt leaves two children, both grown of her own, a mother and two brothers besides her step-children, who will miss her as they would their own mother.
She was a member of the Woodbin Grover, No. 1, Woodmen Circles, she being buried by them and the Woodmen of the World, after a beautiful and impressive funeral service preached by Rev. C. E. Gloves, her pastor, who is conducting a series of meetings here at this time.
She had been sick for some time, but had recovered and was able to be about, but at the time of her death which was so sudden she was not even given time to speak to her children which were gathered around her.
She was a kind, loving and affectionate mother and she leaves a large number of friends and relatives to mourn her loss.
Her friends and neighbors gathered in large numbers at the funeral which took place at the Hatcher cemetery at 3 p. m., Monday to pay their last respects to the one they all loved.
