Age 52Y 2M 1D
Wife of William Carl Elmore
Mrs. Wm. Elmore died last Tuesday, after a few weeks sickness. She leaves a husband and eleven children, and many other relatives and friends to mourn her loss. Rev. Biggs, of Brashear, preached the funeral sermon; ten of her children were present. They laid her to rest in the cemetery near Union school house. Mrs. Elmore made a profession of religion when thirteen years of age, and all these years has endeavored to walk in the foot prints of "The Master," and had no fears in crossing the dark river of death. We extend our sympathies to the bereaved ones.
