DEATH OF MRS.
MARY C. THOMAS.
Mrs. Mary C. Thomas, one of the
most beloved women of Abbeville
County, died at the home of her
daughter, Mrs. J. T. Dudley, in the
city of Athens, Ga., on last Thursday.
Her remains were brought to
Abbeville on Friday and the funeral
services were held in the Episcopal
Church, of which she was a member
for many years, by her pastor, Rev.
Mr. Jordon, after which her body
was laid to rest among her kindred
in the burial grounds of that church.
The following acted as pall-bearers
at Abbeville: Messrs. Robt. L.
Cheatham, Mabry Cheatham, J. E.
Cheatham, C. D. Cowan, Edwin Parker
and R. B. Cheatham, all of them
being nephews of the deceased.
Several friends of Mr. and Mrs.
Dudley and a large number of kindred
and friends from Abbeville
County attended the funeral services.
The following notice of Mrs. Thomas'
death is taken from The Athens
Banner of Friday:
Yesterday morning at half past
two o'clock Mrs. Mary Cheatham
Thomas died at the home of- her
daughter, Mrs. Julius T. Dudley, on
Grady avenue, after an illness of
several months.
Mrs. Thomas came to visit her
daughter and was taken ill while
here. The best of medical attention
and the most loving care availed not
to stay the work of the Grim Reaper.
For weeks the beloved sufferer awaited
the end in the calmness of Christian
faith and resignation and when
the final moment came it was but one
sweet transition from this into the
higher life.
Mrs. Thomas had frequently visited
her daughter in this city and had
made scores of warm friends who
loved her for her many shining virtues
and for her tender and affectionate
friendship.
Surviving Mrs. Thomas are one
son and three daughters, Mr. Charlie
B. Thomas, of Abbeville, S. C., Mrs.
E. E. Green, of Philadelphia, Mrs.
Frank Wilson, of Abbeville, and Mrs.
T. J. Dudley, of this city. Mrs.
Thomas was the grandmother of Dr.
H. T. Brooks, of Memphis, Tenn., and
Dr. S. A. Brooks, of New York.
Mrs. Thomas was in her seventyfifth
year, having been born in Abbeville,
S. C., Sept. 26, 1841, the daughter
of Bartlett Martin Cheatham and
Sarah Elizabeth Cheatham. She was
the widow of Dr. James Walter
Thomas, who died seventeen years
ago.
The deceased was a member of the
JDpiscopai cnurcn anu was a woman
of the highest Christian character.
Kind, gentle, affectionate, faithful
to every duty, she will be sorely missed
by those who loved her.
The remains will be carried to Abbeville,
S. C., this morning at half
past ten o'clock and the funeral will
be held at Trinity Episcopal church
in that city. The following gentlemen
will serve as pall-bearers: Messrs.
T. W. Reed, Albon Woods, H R. Simmons,
L. C. Smith, Rufus Crane and
W. C. Wingfield.
MR. A. J. WOODHURST DEAD.
Mr. A. J. Woodhurst, one of the
oldest citizens of Abbeville County,
died at his home in the Lebanon section
of the county, Tuesday morning
at the advanced age of 84. He had
not been in good health for sometime.
Mr. Woodhurst was an Englishman
by birth. He was born
about twenty miles from London.
In his early life he was a brickmason
by trade. At that trade he
did a lot of brick work about Abbeville.
He helped build the Episcopal
church here. The last time he
was in Abbeville he talked to the
editor of this paper of having built
the chimneys and foundations to the
latter's residence, which was erected
for Hon. Wm. H. Parker before the
war. He did a great deal of other
work of this kind about Abbeville.
He is survived by his wife, also
advanced in years and by several
children, grandchildren and other
descendants.
SCHOOL TEACHERS.
The regular semi-annual Teachers'
Examination will be held in the
