Death has been a sad caller in our neighborhood since we last wrote, calling away one of our most estimable young married ladies in the person of Mrs. Elma Perry, wife of Edward Perry and daughter of Mrs. Lafe Edwards. She was in her twentieth year and just starting in the busy things of life in a home of her own, having been married only two months ago to Mr. Perry. She was called very suddenly, being sick but a few moments. She died February 11th and was buried the following day, Rev. Williams conducting the funeral. The young husband has our deepest sympathy in his bereavement.
