THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT
Marlin, Texas, Wednesday, January 31, 1917

OBITUARY

       On the evening of the 22nd of December, 1916, the death angel visited the home of B. O. Herrington and bore the spirit of his dear wife to the home prepared for her, and that she had lived in a glorious anticipation to realize "some sweet day."
       She is not death, but still lives in that holy city "not made with hands."
       She had been ill for some time, and her death, though not unexpected, was a shock to her family and many friends.
       The community has lost one of its most lovable christian women and the church one of its leading members.
       B. O. Herrington has lost a true and faithful companion, and the children a devoted mother.  She is survived by her husband and two sons, viz: Irwin and Alfred.
       Her remains were laid to rest in the Cego cemetery, her pastor, Rev. W. L. Williamson, of Waco, conducting the obsequies.
                                              A Friend.
