Allendale, J. W. Priester, of Ehrhardt

Death of Mrs. G. J. Hiers.
On Thursday morning, October 21,
a life filled to the brim with usefulness
and loving service came to an
end when Mrs. Amanda Elizabeth
Hiers, wife of Mr. G. J. Hiers, of Ehrhardt,
breathed her last.
She had lived 53 years and nine
months. Since her girlhood she had
been a faithful member of the Baptist
church, first at Smoaks, then at
Carter's Ford, then at Bethany.
On Friday morning, in the presence
of a large concourse of relatives
and friends, her body was laid to
rest by the side of two" of her children
in the old Carter cemetery. The
officiating ministers were Revs. J. C.
Lawson and J. R, Smith.
Before her marriage she was Miss
Miley. She is survived by her husband,
Mr. G. J. Hiers, two sons, J.
J. and H. J.; three daughters, Mrs.
W. E. Copeland, Mrs. W. C. Hughes
and Miss Carolee Hiers; one brother,
one sister, three half brothers and
three half sisters, besides a host of
other relatives.
In her death the community suffers
an almost irreparable loss, for
she was a loving wife, a devoted
mother, a good neighbor and a true
friend.
The pall bearers were: Messrs. J.
J. and H. J. Hiers, J. D. Miley, Wm.
Ivinsey, W. C. Hughes and W. E.
Copeland.
