"MRS. BOHANNON DEAD. Mrs. Emma Warder Bohannon, wife of Judge G.
M. Bohannon, died at the home of her husband, Monday night at ten
o'clock, in her fiftieth year.
"For several years Mrs. Bohannon had been seriously ill with
stomach trouble and for the past few months she had been gradually
failing til the end came.
"Before her marriage she was Miss Emma Warder, daughter of the
late Mr. Marshall Warder, who for a great many years, was a leading
citizen of the town.
"With her death closes the life record of one of the sweetest and
purest lives that ever graced this earth. Gentle, kind and lovable, Mrs.
Bohannon was one of the most beloved women of the town. Thoughtfulness
of others was her life's motto, and her's was a character that was
constantly pouring out love, sunshine and great sympathy for human
hearts in sorror or in joy. She was queen over a household that came as
near being a family perfect in their family ties, their undying love and
deep devotion for each other as any family ever grows to be in this
world. He happiness reigned supreme, and now that the mother of the home
and the wife of his bosom has been called to her heavenly reward, the
family circle is broken, and sorrow has entered there. Alothought having
been deprived of her physical activity for several years, Mrs. Bohannon
took a great interest in the affairs of the day and never once did she
forget her fdriends and the things that interested their lives.
"She bore her sufferings meekly, and umurmingly, and now that she
has gone home to eternal rest the world will be better by her having
lived in it, and Heaven will be sweeter by her presence there.
"Surviving her are her husband, Judge G. M. Bohannon and three
daughters, Mrs. R. H. Vaughn, of Knoxville, Tenn; Mrs. Chas. E. Boles
and Mrs. Ira D. S. Knight of Glasgow, and two brothers, Messrs. Charles
Warder of this place and Will Warder of Clarksville, Tenn.
"Mrs. Bohannon had been a devout member of the Baptist church for
years.Rev. I. D. S. Knight conducted the short funeral services at the
family residence, Tuesday afternoon at five o'clock, after which the
remains were interred in the cemetery at this place.
"To the husband, the daughters, and to the loved ones deeply bowed
down in sorrow and distress is extended the great encircling arm of love
and the sympathizing tears of their many many many friends in town and
county during this, their hour of grief and deep affliction."
