Miss Mamie Crawford Dies

Jackson was grieved yesterday at the announcement of the death of Miss Mamie Crawford, one of her most splendid young ladies, which occurred at the home of her uncle in Spalding county yesterday morning. She was a daughter of Sheriff and Mrs. J. M. Crawford and was stopping at the home of her uncle while the latter was visiting a sick brother in Florida. On Wednesday she complained of feeling very unwell, but it was not supposed that her condition was so serious. She was seized with congestion of the brain and this attack soon did its work and left the body lifeless.

The deceased was a member of the Baptist church and all recognized in her a lovely Christian young lady. The funeral services will be conducted at the church at 3 o’clock this afternoon by the pastor, Dr. Nelson.

The father and mother have our earnest sympathy in their bereavement.
