He Nettle*, which had occurred at the
home of her slater, Mr*. J. F. Hate
man at l'J Tuesday night.
She had been on the street Monday

bright spirits, the life of the crowd.
Later she complained of not feeling
well, and a physician was summoned.
She was relieved aud while Quite un
well all day Tuesday her illness was
not considered serious by the family
or the two physicians who saw her.
At twelve o'clock Tuesday night her
sister was at her bedside and realized
that she was suddenly growing ;worse,
.WSlxv phoned fur the physician and
hastily summoned to her aid two near
neighbors who reached her bedside
before she .passed away, three physi
cians coming a few minutes later. The
rumor that she was found dead is
Without foundation as she had not
been alone during her few hours of ill
ness.' t .
She was the youngest daughter of
Mr, nirATtf Nettles, a life-long resident
of this county and brave Confederate
soldier, Since early girlhood she had
been iit delicate health ami had lived
a very quiet bufl retired life, the past
twenty-two yeaW b'eifrg. spent in the
home of her sister, Mri, .1 F. Bate
man, sharing the joys arid tO'rrbWs of
that home in a marked deg/eb. She
was kind and sympathetic, bright anfd
cheery, and her face was ever wreath
ed In smiles that 'will long remain
a sunny memory to those who knew
and loved her.
Miss Nettles IS survived by her
father, three brothers, Hiram Net
tles, Jr., of this county, Bruce Nettles
and Charles Nettles, of Columbia, and
two sisters, Mrs. Luke Arrant;*, of
Florida, and Mrs. J. F. Bate man, of

I). Tranthain, H.O . Carrisou, Jr.,
James Cl.vburn. John Williams and
Lawrence A. Kirkland. She was laid
to rest In the beautiful old cemetery
where generations of her forbears
sleep. The beautiful floral tributes
that covered her grave showed that
her quiet, unpretentious'life had won
many friends, who sincerely regretted
her passing. she had filled her own
jplace, and her death casts a dark
shadow across the threshold of a home
that had been made bright by her
presence.
