"WOEATM
OF MRS. W. M. HAMtR
Seldom has it been our duty to
chronicle a death so sad as that of
Mrs. W. M. Hatner which occurred
at her residence last Friday,
evening at 10:30 o'clock. A dark
gloom spread over the whole community
when it was whispered
from one to anothei that during
the night the spirit of this most estimable
lady had taken its heavenly
flight. Only a few years ago
..u_ 4,. rvn? 41? i?!j.. -r
mic caiiic iu uiuuu as nit: unuc or
one of our most honored and respected
citizens, and during her
rosidence here she had gathered
around her a large circle oi friends
who are today ho wed down in grief
over her untimely deaili.
Mrs, Hamer had been ill only a
few weeks but her illness was not
looked upon with alarm. Preparations
had been made to carry her
to an infirmary on the day following
her death where it was hoped
that she would speech!y recover
from her illness, but on Friday
evening she passed away almost
before the members of the household
could be summoned to her
bedside.
Among us all she ranked always
as a woman of culture, refinement,
sympathy; a kind neighbor, devoted
mother and true friend, and
withal a woman of heroic mould in
bravely meeting' the stern requirements
of life. Her home instincts
were strong and her affection for
her friends and kindred was tender
and abiding. She was an everyday
christian. The beautifying
influences of a pure religion were
spread over a life and character as
spotless and charming as was ever
possessed by any of the noble wo
men who had lived and died during
the ages that are gone. As such
a life was a blessing and benefaction
to all within the sphere of it^
influence so is the death of such a
one a public misfortune, as well a>
an irreparable loss to the home, irele
made desolate by her departure.
A perfect lady at all tiincs--undei
all influences, she seemed born
to inspire the love and lvsp'-vt ? !
all who were so fortunate ;.s to Ik
acquainted with her.
Accompanied by a large concourse
of friends the body wastak
en to BennettsvilleSaturday aftci
noon where the interment was mad-,
m the family plot at Oak Ridgi
Cemetery Sunday morning, tin
services being conducted bv Rev
W. C. Kirkland, assisted by Rev
Mr. Turnipseed of the Fir-t Metii
odist church of Bennettsviile. Tin
floral offerings were many ami
beautiful, but none surpassed in
beauty the floral shaft from the
ladies of the Home Missionary Society
of Dillon of which Mrs. 1 lamer
was the president J
In addition to a husband and
three small daughters Mrs. I lamer
is survived by her parents, Col.
and Mrs. Knox Livingston, of J?cnnettsvillc:
a brother. Mr. Van Livingston
of Atlanta, and a sister.
Mrs- J. E. Haynesworth. of (ireenville
Her untimely death is a great
loss to the social life of the community
and an irreparable loss U
the church and to the several so
cieties of which she was a valued
member.
