MRS. SEIGLER IS TAKEN BY DEATH
Beloved Woman of Starr Community Succumbs to Long Illness.  Funeral 
Be Held at Cross Roads Church Today. Mrs. Sallie Seigler, widow of 
the late Joseph E. Seigler, died at the family residence about one
 mile south of Starr yesterday afternoon at 1 o'clock, following a 
long period of declining health. Some two years ago, Mrs. Seigler 
suffered a stroke of paralysis and she had been an invalid since that 
time.  Her condition, however, did not become critical until several 
days ago.  She had been confined to her bed for about one week.  Mrs. 
Seigler was a native and lifelong resident of the Starr section of 
the county, and was beloved by an unusually large number of friends 
and relatives.  A woman of sweet Christian character and sunny 
disposition, she was known far and near as a good neighbor and true 
friend, one who was ever ready and willing to aid or sympathize with 
those in illness, trouble, or need. Her kindly deeds and pleasing 
personality endeared her to a wide circle of friends as well as those 
who knew her intimately and while not wholly unexpected, the news of 
her passage cast a deep note of sadness through the entire Starr 
community. Mrs. Seigler was born 76 years ago, the daughter of the 
late William Jones and Elizabeth (Dean) Jones, prominent citizens of 
the l9wer part of the county.  In early girlhood, she united with the
Cross Roads Baptist church and during all of her long and useful life 
was one of the institutions most devoted members and untiring workers.
She was a regular attendant of all services as long as the state of 
her health would permit, and in her passage, the institution suffers a
distinct loss. Surviving her are three children:  one son, T. Milton 
Seigler with whom she made her home, and two daughters, Mrs. Joe J. 
Smith of Starr and Mrs. J. B. Quarels of this city; she also leaves 
one brother, John Jones, of Elbert County, Georgia, and one sister, 
Mrs. Janie McGee, of the Starr section, and one half-sister, Mrs. 
Bellie McCalla, also of Starr. The last rites will be held from the 
cross Roads Baptist church at Starr this afternoon ast 4:30 o'clock. 
The Rev. W. B., Hawkins for many years pastor of the deceased, in 
association with the Rev. M. M. McCuen, the present pastor, will 
conduct the service.  Following the last rites, the body will be laid
to final rest in the family plot in the adjoining cemetery, besides 
that of her late husband who preceded her ten years ago. Grandsons 
will serve as active pallbearers, and will include Messrs. Joe Major
Smith, Hugh Smith, Barnard Smith, John Smith, Neal Seigler, and J. B.
Quarles, Jr.  McDougald-Bleckley Company, funeral directosr in charge.
