Milnerville--The funeral of Mrs. Austin who died early Friday morning was held Saturday afternoon at her home about three miles east from the Broken Kettle on the Valley road. But few of this community knew of the death and burial and were therefore unable to attend.

Inscription:
Farewell, dear Mother, sweet thy rest
Weary with years and worn with pain
Farewell, till in some happy place
We shall behold thy face again
