Death of Mrs. John S. Jennings.
Never has this community been I
more saddened than last Tuesday
night, when it learned of the death
- . . , ,
of Mrs Edith M Jennings,tne oeiovea |
wife of Mr John Slater Jennings, j
which occurred about 8:40 o'clock.
She had been ill with a complication j
of diseases since November 26, and
the utmost efforts of physicians,
nurses and devoted relatives and
friends were vain.
Mrs Jennings was the youngest
child of Mrs Mary E Gale and the
late Mr John C Gale of Easton, Md, i
in which town she was born 34 years i
ago. In early life she moved to i
South Carolina and for a number of '
years,in partnership with her sister.
Miss Hannah Gale (now Mrs R C
Douglass), conducted a flourishing
millinery business successively at
Bamberg, Sumter and Kingstree.
She was married to Mr Jennings in
the Episcopal church of the Holy
Comforter. Sumter, April 29, 1907.
Two interesting little daughters i
were born of this union, Elizabeth :
and Edith, aged respectively about 5 <
and 3 years. She is survived by her <
husband, children, mother and the i
following sisters: Mesdames S L 1
Brown, of St Augustine, Fla; R C <
Douglass, of Citra, Fla; W S Grace, <
Jr, and William Reddie, of Easton, 1
Md; also one brother, Mr John C
Dale, likewise of Easton, Md. 1
j Mrs Jennings was a lady of ster- 1
ing worth, and her never-failing l
:ourtesy and kindliness won and held <
for her a multitude of friends wher- 1
?ver she was known. The deepest
sympathy for the Strieker family is J
felt by all. 1
Mrs Jennings' remains were taken i
jO Easton, Md, yesterday evening] J
rod will be interred in the cemetery i
)f that town, where sleep the bodies <
)f her father, her brother, Mr Sam- <
ael Gale, and her sister, Mrs F J
Henry.
We call attention to notice of the i
jntertainment to be given at Bennett
school, Taft, next Tuesday evening,
December 22, to which the public is '
nvited. See notice on page seven, i
