Her funeral took place from the residence of Mrs. Mair, where services were conducted at 5 o®clock Sunday afternoon, by Rev. W.W. HOLMES, pastor of the First Methodist church, and Rev. W.S. SLACK, rector of St. James Episcopal church, after which interment was made in the Methodist Cemetery, in Pineville, under the direction of Hixson Brothers.
The pall-bearers were: E. I. LAIRD, R.F. WHITE, Ariail C. WHITE, Drew BRIDGES, W. T. CLARK and Ralph W. BREWER.
