Elsie Mabel MILLHOUSE-EDWARDS was born in Jefferson county, July 14th, 1886 and grew to womanhood in Fairfield. About three years ago she was united in marriage to Rolla EDWARDS who survives her.

Of a quiet and retiring disposition she found much happiness in her home life, and altho caring little for social pleasures. Mrs. EDWARDS had a large circle of warm friends to whom her death came as a great shock.

The funeral services will be held Friday aftrenoon (sic) at two o'clock at the residence and the remains will be laid to rest in Evergreen cemetery.
