last Saturday afternoon, July 16, about 6 o'clock p. m., Miss Lillie 
Abbott, eldest daughter of Rev. and Mrs. Wilburn Abbott, died at her 
home on Coneross after a brief illness from typhoid fever. She was in 
the 26th year of her age and had been for a number of years a 
consistent member of the Baptist church. Her life was spent in the 
service of others. Always kind and thoughtful she was interested in 
the comfort and welfare of those about her, and to know her was to 
love her. From early childhood she evinced a remarkable degree of love 
for church work and a degree of interest in the welfare of others 
that is seldomed witnessed in one so young. Her whole life was that 
of a gentle Christian and the impress of her infinence for good will 
felt by many in years to come. On Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock her 
remains were laid to rest in the Coneross Baptist cemetery in the 
presense of a large concourse of sorrowing friends. The services were 
conducted by Rev. J. M. McGuire, J. W. and D. S. Abbott, of Gaffney, 
the only ones of her immediate family who resided at a distance, 
arrived here in time to pay the last and tribune to the deceased at 
the grave. To the bereaved parents, brothers, and sisters of the 
deceased we extend our sympathy in their hour of sorrow. Contributed
