Memorial <<? Mrs. Coleman.
Ludio Merriman Coleman was thc
third child and second daughter ol
Louis 13. and Louisa J. Merriman,
and was born'.lune J?lh, 1851, al
Greenwood, S. C. She? received bei
education from the village school.
In March, 1872, she was married
to'Matthew Willis Coleman, then liv
ing in Walhalla, S. C. Mr. Coleman
was originally from Edgolicld coun
! ty, this. State. When Seneca became
a station on the mnin line of thc
Southern Railway they moved there
where they becamo public-spirited
citizens, bending all energy toward
making the small hamlet into a
town.
Mrs. Cocinan possessed an unus
ual degree of untiring energy and
will power, and her accomplishments
along civic linos were wonderfu,
Even at this early period she was a
firm believer In tho advancement ot
woman. It was mainly through hoi
inspiration along this lino that thc
Once-a-Week Club was called to
gether, and later that that culb.with
her leadership, called the convention
tn .Tune, 1 80S, which resulted in ibo
formation of this magnificent organ
ization, standing ready to honor her,
and of which she was the firs? presi
dent. She was a charter member of
the Andrew Pickens Chapter, D. A.
H., and tho industrial school at Ta
massee was one of her long-cher
ished ideas. She was always greatly
interested in tho education of the
young peoplo of thc mountains. The
aged and the poor of that section
were often grateful for ber bounty.
Through her Influence and gen
I eroslty tho Once-n-Woek Club was
enabled for years to koop traveling
libraries circulating through Oconec
and sevoral other counties.
She was a writer of some noto,
having produced an attractive book,
and a number of short stories wero
printed by notable magazines.
Personally Mrs. Coleman was very
bountiful, rotalnlng her charm or
form and foaturo until (tuite lato in
life.
She died as sho lind ofton wished
her passing to occur-boro to-day, in
tho abundance of usefulness, to-mor
row gono into tho Great Beyond,
Some years ago tho Onco-a-Week
Club lost its first member by death.
Mrs. Coleman asked mo to prosont
the club memorial at that timo, and
in doing so I used a few unprinted
lines 1 had by me, which pleased
hor. Only a few weeks hoforo she
was taken away she asked mo for a
copy of tho versos, and so, because
she loved them, and because they

Doom, Holland, April ll.- For
mer Empress Augusta Victoria, ol
Geimany, died here at G o'clock this
morning. By .a strange coincidence
the end came Just one year after she
suffered her first attack of hear)
disease.
lt was while she was preparing tc
enter tho house of Doom, thc present
home of the former emperor of Ger
many, after her long residence al
Amerongen, that she was stricken
with what at the time was believed
to ho n fatal attack, that on April
ll, J920, for a few days there wore
reports that her eleath was momen
tarily expected, but she rallied anel
accompanied her husband to Doom
on May 15 last. Attacks of her fatal
malady recurred at frequont Inter
vals, each sapping her vitality and
nullifying the measures taken bj
specialists to restore her hoatlh
Whoa her son, former Prince Joa
chim, committed suicide In Berlin
last .Inly she was In such a serious
cotillion that tho news of his death
was kept from her for a long time
and it is said that she never learned
that her son killed himself. Last
tintumn the former empress' condi
tion gradually became worse, and on
several occasions her children were
called to Doom, but her strength was
such that she rallied bravely when
the end was believed to be Immi
nent. Since tho first of this year it
lind boon known that she was gradu
ally sinking.
Funernl sorvices over tho body of
the former, ompress will he hold at
tho house of Doom to-morrow. The
remains will bo takon lo Potsdam
on Wodnosdny, and another funeral
service will bo hold there.
Tho glistening powder on hilt and

Once she was with us here, smiling
and gay,
Doing life's simple tasks-faithfully,
willingly, v
Eagerly welcoming strongth for each
day,
That she might labor moro,
That .-ibo might comfort sore
Greatly trlod souls that woro going
her way.
Tread softly round her whero she's
