A Sad Death

About three weeks ago, Mr. Avalee Taylor and Miss Mollie Williams, both of this county, were happily married in Lebanon, the ceremony being performed by Rev. Jesse L. Murrell, uncle of the groom. Immediately after the rites were solemnized the couple left for Jeffersonville, Ind., where the groom was engaged in business. A few days ago Mrs. Taylor was taken suddenly ill, resulting in her death last Monday afternoon. The remains are expected here this (Tuesday) afternoon. May God comfort the stricken young husband in this the darkest hour of his life.

Mollie was five months short of her 30th birthday. She was the daughter of I. N. and Helena Williams, and the niece of well-known Adair County businessman-turned-minister, Eld. Z. T. Williams.
