A SAD DBATH.
Mrs. W. J. Outer Died Sunday After N(
Iilne? of Only a Few Day*.
. Peculiarly sad was the death of
Mrs. W. J. Carter who passed away
at the Florence Infirmary at an
early hour Sunday night. Mrs. Carter
was taken ill Just a few days before
her death and her condition became
so critical that she was taken _
to the infirmary last Friday. Every L(
remedy known to medical science
was applied in an effort to stay the
progress of the malady which was
sapping her life away but the efforts
were of avail and she quietly ?
passed away at an early hour Sunday |{i
night.
Mrs. Carter came to Dillon from
Webster, Mass., only a Bhort time ago __
as the bride of Mr. W. J. Carter, but (.y
during her short residence In Dillon
she made many warm friends and
there were many expressions of profound
regret when the news of her
death was received early Monday
morning. She was a woman of most
excellent christian character and was
endowed with graces of mind and
heart that won the love and admiration
of a large circle of friends.
Besides her husband Mrs. Carter
is survived by a son of her first marriage,
and a large number of relatives
who are prominent in the social
and business life of her native home.
The body was taken to Webster,
Mass., Monday night where it will be
interred in the family plot in that
city.

The action of this photo-meloama
