I THINGS DOING ABOUT SENECA. I>eath of Mrs. C. K.Livingston at Greenville--Other Matter?. Seneca, Feb. 25.-Special: Newe has been received hero to-day of the death of Mrs. Clara Kilpatrick Liv ingston, which occurred this morn ing at Greenville. While her death was not unexpected, still lt brings with lt the shock tha$ always ac companies such intelligence, particu larly when one is'so universally be loved as was Mrs. Livingston. On account of continued indisposition her loved ones induced her to go to Greenville some weeks ago, thinking and loping that a change would ben efit Her. This she consented to, but' was ?ever well enough to return, and Indeed for many weeks had been an intense though patient and brave suf ferer! Mrs. Livingston, with her hus band^ the lato Col. J. W. Livingston, was pne of the earliest settlors of Seneca, having nruved here with their younft family in the early history of the ulace. They quickly identified themselves with the interests of the place, and particularly with the church, both being ardent and liberal members of the Presbyterian denom ination. After Col. Livingston's death his crushed but brave help meet took up the burden of lifo with her large family, and by prayer and supplication, coupled with gentleness and firmness, reared the family of reputable children which are to-day ornaments in church and society; If there was one characteristic which marked more forcibly the life of thle devoted Christian woman and mo ther lt was her gentleness. This, coupled with her inate refinement, her tender regard for the feel ings of her friends, made her what she was-a true friend. In her fam ily she has been called a veritable queen-loyal, firm, honorable, affec tionate-always a ministering angel to the sick or unfortunate, striving always "toward the mark," and al ways with an eye single to His Glory. The poor found always a support and a word of encouragement from her, her colored friends, including those ot' slavery times, being among those who gave lives of service and devo tion to their erstwhile mistress. A keen phase of the sorrow which Mrs. Livingston's friends .here feel over her death ls the fact that hor last days were spent- away from them, and they were therefore deprived of the privilege of rninlpterlug uuto her and thereby evidencing somothmg of their love and devotion to her. To tho grief-stricken family is tendered the sympathies of the place. The children who survive her are John K. Livingston, Cordele, Ga.; Mrs. Mary Livingston Carey, Greenville; Will and Whitner Livingston, Sen eca; Mrs. Lell Livingston Martin, Greenville, and Mrs. Clara Livingston Thomson, of Walhalla. Miss Marye Shelor, who is histo rian for the Andrew PIckonB Chapter of the ~. A. R., urges the citizens of Oconee and Pickens counties to co operate with the chapter In marking the graves of revolutionary soldiers. The graves of these heroes are mark ed free, and this being on Its face such a commendable undertaking, we are sure that the suggestion and the offer will appeal readily to our peo ple. The chapter wishes also a brief sketch of every soldier buried In these counties, where burled and the inscription on tomb stones.
