ceived her first stroke September 24th
1890, of which she never recovered. The
last two years of ber life she was a help
less invalid from this dread disease, At
the time of ber death she was in her sev?
enty-first year, haviug been born Septem?
ber 22nd, 1822. She was a devoted wife
and loving mother. Those who knew her
best loved her most. She was a native of
Anderson County, where she spent the
greater portion of her life. Her father was
Horatio Fields, who was a soldier in the
War of 1812. She leaves a husband, five
sons and one daughter to mourn her
death; but they sorrow not as those who
have no hope, Tbey have full assurance
that she is now in Heaven with the loved
ones who have gone before to the heav?
enly mansion. She loaned three sons to
fight for their country iu the late war.
Two were killed, W- M? Keown, in the
second battle of Manassas, and G. D.
Keown, iu the battle of the Wilderness.

many friends and relatives iu Anderson

The sad news reached Anderson a few
days ago that Willie Beverly Clark, eldest
son of Mr. W. N. Clark, formerly of An?
derson, had died at his home in Cleburne,
Texas, on the 14th inst. The young man
was born in Anderson, his father moving
to Texas nearly twenty years ago. The
Cleburne Chronicle, in referring to his
death, says: "Monday morning at 1.30 B.
Clark breathed his last at his father's resi?
dence, in West Cleburne. For the past
seven months he has been confined to a
sick bed, and, with the exception of a few
weeks, never left it until death came, not
as a terror, but as a sweet release from
wan, wasted and worn body, and eternal
happiness for the tired and weary soul.
B. was about twenty-four years of age,
fourteen of which were spent in Cleburne,
He was an energetic: and persevering
young man, and was admired and re
spected by his many friends for these
qualities. Three years; ago he obtained
license to practice law, and no one knows
to what a height be would have climbed
the ladder of fortune and fame. He was a
bright student, a brilliant speaker and a
logical reasoner, which qualities eminently
fitted him for his chosen profession. But
death is no respecter of persons, and thus
iu the springtime of his hopes, the sum?
mons came, bidding him leave old earth
and her sorrows, and come to the haven of
eternal rest. At the age of twelve he pro?
fessed religion and united with the Bap?
tist Church of this city, and since that
time he has lived the consistent life of a
true and devoted Christian. On Monday
afternoon after impressive and suggestive
sermons at the Baptist Church, the re?
mains followed by a large concourse of
friends of the family, were borne to the
cemetery and interrsd there to await the
final resurrection day."
