Deaths.
Mrs. Louisa C. Ligon, relict of the
late Prof. Wi J. Ligon, died at her
home in this city last Thursday morn
ing. She had been in feeble health for
the past five or six months, and gradu
ally grew worse ?until death came to
her relief. She was a daughter of the
late Henry Seibels, of Lexington Coun

reared, and was in the 65th year of her
age. In 1852 she married Prof. Ligon,
and four years later they moved to
Pendleton, where they resided until
1806, when they moved to Anderson.
Twelve chiidren--nine sons and three
daughters-were born to them, - and of
this number five sons survive her.
Having been dedicated to the Lord by
baptism in heir infancy, and trained in
? His "nurture and admonition," in her
girlhood she publicly confessed her
faith in Christ and united with the
Methodist Church. Throughout her
life she was a "most devoted and zeal
ous nienaber, and often rendered valua
ble service in the various departments
of Church work. Mrs. Ligon was a
woman of more than ordinary intelli
; gence,,and possessed many noble vir
7 . tues of both mind and heart. She was
nor only a true Christian, a dev6ted
. wife'?md affectionate mother, but an
exceedingly land neighbor, and was
. ever-ready to lend a helping hand and
speak an encouraging word to the poor
and distressed, i Her memory will long
be cherished by a wide circle of friends.
Cm last Friday morning the funeral
? ' : services wereheld in the First Metho
