- Died
At the Edgecombe General Hospital, Saturday evening at ten, Mrs. Annami Hedges Liles, aged 34. Death came as a result of complications, following an operation.
The deceased was the second daughter of John R. and the later Mrs. Mollie E. Hedges, and the beloved wife of Jas. C. Liles. She was born in Kentucky, but the family moved to Tarboro when she was an infant. Here she grew up as a pure, sweet flower, scattering fragrance and sunshine. For many years, she was all devotion to an invalid mother; as a mother and homemaker herself, she was an example to all other women. Above all, she was a consecrated Christian and she passed away with the calm and perfect trust of a little child. The beautiful flower has been transplanted but its fragrance is still here.
Surviving are a father, husband, and two children, Mary Davis and James Melvin.
Funeral services were conducted from the Methodist church yesterday by Rev. D.E. Earnhardt, and a multitude of friends sorrowed with the sorrowing.
The following lines from William Cullen Bryant she made a part of her life:
So live that when thy summons comes
To join the innumerable caravan that moves
To that mysterious realm where each shall take
His chamber in the silent hall of death:
Thou go not like the quarry-slave at night,
Scourged to his dungeon, but sustained and soothed,
But an unfaltering trust approach thy grave
Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch
about him and lies down to pleasant dream,”
So live that when thy summons comes
To join the innumerable caravan that moves
To that mysterious realm where each shall take
His chamber in the silent halls of death.
