BLECKLEY PASSES AWAY After a Lingering Illness, Sainted Woman Crosses Over the Last River Mrs. Elizabeth Hamilton.1 mookley, widow of the late Sylvester Bleckley, died at her home on North Main street shortly after 2 o'clock Wednesday af ternoon. She lind been in declining health for several months and her death ha3 been momentarily expected hy.members of thc family and friends for several dayts.

Moan* und Mrs. F. B Maxwell Sketch of Her Life. Mrs. Elizabeth Hammond Weekley, the daughter of tho late Frank Ham mond, was horn on her father's coun try estate a few miles north of this city in the yoar of 18:57. She received her early education at u country schoolhouse, and even, during those childhood days began to show a taste for literature. Later she became a student at the Johnson university of this city, and during her college life her brilliant essays, Humorous or grave, gave zest to the pages of a monthly magazine, "Lc Bas Blue," which was published by the senior claps of the .university. She was grad uated with distinction in 1853-receiv ing her badge and diploma from the haud3 of Dr. William Bulleln Johnson, the distinguished ? divine, who was chancellor of this institution ut this time. She was married to Mr. Sylvester Bleckley, and in all her duties of life as churchwoman, wife, mother, friend, she retained her same lovable, beauti ful character of her earlier years'. She was president of the Woman's Temperance Union ever since Its or ganization, and was ever ready with tongue or pen to light tho great foe of mankind-Intemperance. As a Daughter of the Revolution she was often chosen by the Cateecheo chapter to represent .them in the nat ional conventions us well as the state. In the year 19?3 she was appointed by the president general. Mrs. William Cummings Story, a member of 'the '"HjBtorlcal Research and Preserva tion of Records" committee, which is an important committee, and - on which MTS. Bleckley was fully capable of being, having a wonderful memory, and also was always on the lookout for anything of historical interest. Nowhere will Mrs. Bleckley be miss ed more than In thc United Daughters of the Confederacy, having been In .theec trying times, she kn?w-htrw to sympathize with the "hoya who . wore the gray," and-they never lacked this word bf Iovo from Mrs. Bleckley. At all -Codfederate reunions, or, special days the program.. was not complete without Mrs. Bieckley spoke? ? few words^or gave ono of her splendid dia lect stories, which wore' original, and the foundation of which she had got ten on. her father's, plantation. She was a member of the R. E. Lee chap ter ever since Its organUation which dates back about 20 years. Her cur rent events always sparkled with irre, sistible and Irrepressible wit Which identified Mrs. Bleckloy's presence in every place. ' Mrs. Bleckley was also one of the first to join the Civic association, and was ever ready to do anything, that would beautify her town, and make it more attractive to residents, and strangers. In. fact her hand was ever stretched to tho latter, and she wel comed them with ti cordiality that gave thom that good feeling bf "make yourself at hpine," and which lasted as an endearing memory, which means so much to a stranger within your gates. Thoroughly enjoying life In its most beautiful phases, tho sunshine of her presence brought pleasure to all- whh whom she came in contact.. No! not dead: : GOOd night, belov ed.
