There are few people in Edge field couuty who can recall the time when Mrs Ryan was in the bloom of youth. She was oue of the houorud few who passed the 8oth milestone, aud saw most of her foi ?d ones pass beyond her earthly care ere she died. Mrs Ryan was for six years pro prietress of the famous old Ryan hotel which was burned about ten years ago. Since then she has been residiug in South Edgefield with her son-in-law, Captain Bellinger, and two grand children, Misses Allie and Fannie Bellinger. It was on Monday, December 16th, while alone in her home that the sad accident occured which caused her death, and the sympa thies of uu all go out to the loved ones who must bear this sorrow. Mrs Ryan was always a pattern of industry and uprightness, and straightforward and canuid iu character. She had been for many years a member of the Edgefield Baptist church, and though she was 80 years old, and had beeu for a year or more unable lo attend church, fhe was alwavs willing to do what she could for auy worthy object when called upou. No one ever thought of Mrs Ry an in any other way than as a thoroughly sincere Christian. She leaves one sou, Mr Elbert Ryann, of Trenton, and one daughter, Mrs Dolla Sandiland,who lives in Ken tucky; her granddaughters, Mrs Daisy Bixby, of Athens, Georgia, and Missus Allie aud Fannie Bel linger, of Edgefield. *' The hoary head is the crown of glory, if it be; fouud in the way of righteousness. Obituary. Died at Ti m merman. S. C., on Dec. 14,1901, Mrs Cr W Price Timmerman, aged 25 years. After a severe illress of three week? ^er life so full of prom ise ?ame to an end. Her remain s were buried near Cokesbury, wherever fa ther, Ml*. Wm. H. Moore,resides. Only Ave oears of happy married life and it is mysterious and inexpressibly sad, one so useful and good, so loving and loved, should die so early in life; but God knows best. Three years since, husbrna and wife were'baptizea into the fellowship of Philippi church and those witnessing the touching scene and knowing their favorably surroun dings, are now couscious of sad disap pointment. Pleasant visits to the beautiful new borne of the ycunp physician and his cordial, entertaining wife wli ever be a pleasing memory. Her beauty' of person and character, her charms pf manner and speech, ber lovely devo tion to everything concerning uer hus band, make us realize what a" loss is sustained and calls Ioudly'ror" sympa thy towards the sorrow stricken and bereaved husband. She made ?nany. w.;rm friends during her short sojourn tere, and her husband, so deservedly esteemed and so untiring in Iiis devo tion to bis loved co npanion,is assured, of sympathy in this da; k hour.
