MOTHER OF LOCAL CITIZEN
DIES SATURDAY
Short funeral services for Mrs. A.
H. Kohn, who died Saturday, were
conducted Sunday afternoon from her
residence, 1617 Laurel street, by -her
pastors, Dr. H. A. McCullough, and
the Rev. Edgar Zeigler of St. Paul’s
Lutheran church.
After she was laid to rest by the
side of her husband who died five
years ago. Burial was in the family
plot in Prosperity cemetery.
It was fitting that floral tributes
to one who so loved flowers were so
numerous that they more than cover
ed her grave and made the square
into a miniature, closely carpeted
garden of color and fragrance.
A beautiful life, exemplifying ev
erything that was fine and noble,
ended when Mrs. Kohn passed away.
Though she had been an invalid for
several years, her death came unex
pectedly.
She built her own monument
through daily living and kind min
istrations and she will be remember
ed with loving devotion by her neigh
bors and friends and all others who
had the good fortune to know her.
Her chief joy was applying the art
of being kind, for her long life was
radiant with encouragement to all
who came under her influence. She
was modest and retiring, dependable
and loyal; she spoke no harsh or un
kind of criticism. She had abiding vit
ality and a keen sense of humor. She
rarely lost a chance to laugh even
at herself. She never entered a home
but it was -happier for her presence.
She tended the needs of her family
with gentle grace, and always found
time to do a favor for any one who
needed her help.
Mrs. Kohn’s hobby was flowers. Her
garden began at the Ivy-garlanded
oaks on the street park and grew on
and back to her garden wall. Noth
ing pleased her more than to share
and no one ever came empty-handed
away from her garden as long as she
was able to cultivate her riot of old
fashioned blooms.
She often said she grew no special
blossoms in her garden for fear they
might make her stingy. To her, the
end and aim of raising flowers, was
the joy of giving them away. Since
she was thoughtful and generous,
the world, as well as her garden, is a
sweter place because she walked
there.
Mrs. Kohn was a member of St.
Paul’s Lutheran church where her
presence has been sorely missed for
the past two years. She remained
interested in all phases of church
work, and supported them gener
ously with her means to the very
last. She is survived by four chil
dren: Misses Erin and Nell Kohn and
Hart Kohn of Columbia; and Hal
Kohn of Newberry; four grandchil
dren, Hart Kohn, Jr., Hal Kohn, Jr.,
and Misses Mary Birge and Verna
Kohn; one brother, S. S. Birge of
Prosperity, along with a number of
nieces and nephews—The State,
March 2nd.

ed in it.
Instead of steaks and roasts, older
persons probably will like their
meat, fish and poultry in easy-to-eat,
chopped form in such dishes as meat
patties, fish cakes, or chicken cro
quettes. And since fat takes longer
than any other food to digest, they’ll
probably find it best to cut down on
mixtures rich with fat. Old age
slows down the digestive processes
and too much fat simply puts an ad
ded burden on the stomach and lower
digestive tract.
