George and Joseph Tarkington, Mrs. L.G. Edlen, of this county, Mrs. J.S. Shuttleworth, of Louisville, and Mrs. George McMillan, of Ackworth, Ga.  She was a woman who won the love of all--kind, motherly, sympathetic, tender hearted and hospitable.  Her life was a shining example to all.  After a long life spent in usefulness, and after a married life marked by loving companionship, she has gone beyond the river to await the arrival of the aged husband, with whom every heart sympathizes, and the children whom she sought to "teach the way"
