A Sad Death
On yesterday morning about daylight, Mrs. D. Hill was walking the
railroad between the river bridge and her residence about a quarter of a mile
this side of the bridge when a belated freight train running at a high speed
going
east, ran over Mrs. Hill killing her instantly. Her husband is the efficient
watchman at the river bridge. Mrs. Hill is a sister of Mr. F.M. Moulton and
Mrs. Slate Hill and was a lady of many noble traits of character; her husband
and the entire family have the sympathy of a large circle of friends.

Died
At 4 o’clock on Wednesday evening the 7th inst., at the residence of Elder J.R.
Respess, occurred the death of Mrs. Snellgrove. She was the mother of
Mrs. J.R. Respess, and was 86 years of age. For a number of years she had
been greatly afflicted and long before her death had been almost entirely
helpless from paralysis. Her remains were interred in the cemetery on Thursday
evening, the funeral services being conducted by Elder J.G. Murray.

At Rest
Mrs. Eliza Cadelia Pierce, wife of Mr. Cader Pierce, died at her home
near Wilchar Level, nine miles west of Butler, at 12 o’clock on Monday night
March 26th, after a lingering illness of several months. Mrs. Pierce was born
Jan. 26th, 1836, and was therefore in the 58th year of her age, and for 43 years
she had walked hand in hand with her husband – a devoted wife, a kind companion,
an affectionate mother and a good neighbor. She was the mother of thirteen
children, ten of whom still live to honor and praise her memory, besides many
relatives and a bereaved husband who have the sympathy of this entire community
in their sad loss. Mrs. Pierce in early life joined the Missionary Baptist
church, although her religious sentiments were Primitive. She tried to live as
she died in full view of a blessed immortality beyond the grave. Mrs. Pierce
was a lady of strong memory and unusually bright intellect and one of the best
informed ladies historically we have ever known. She was a great admirer of the
beauties of nature as those who have ever visited her home will testify, and we
have the full assurance that Heaven is richer and more beautiful by her
presence. Her remains were interred in the family burying ground in Talbot
County on Thursday morning March 29th, the services being conducted by Rev. L.W.
Parrot, of Talbotton, in an appropriate and impressive manner, and strange to
say the services were conducted in the same room where 43 years ago Mrs. Pierce
became a lovely bride, and in all these years she was faithful and true. We
offer our sincere sympathy to the entire family in their sad bereavement and
would love to speak of her more at length but our time and space forbids at
present. At a more convenient time we hope to speak of her again.
