MRS. ANNA BATEMAN MACK.
No sadder death has occured in our
city than that of Mrs. Leon Mack,
who died this morning at 7:30
trom a short illness of pneumonia.
She had nursed her two little children
with influenza, and was stricken
with the dreaded disease herself and
lived but a few days. The little boy
is recovering, but the little daughter
is critically ill.
Mrs. Mack jvas born in Newport in
1880, being 39 years of age. For
several years she lived here with
her parents, also her grandparents,
the late Mr. and Mrs. Magoffin. She
was a daughter of Chas. T. Bateman
of our city- and her mother was
Miss Anna Magoffin a charming girl
nf Npwnort. Her death is deeply re
gretted by her many friends, who did
not know she was sick. The body will
be carried to Moorefield on the early
morning train tomorrow and buried
in the lot of the Mack family.
Mr. and Mrs. Mack moved here just
a few weeks ago from their country
home in Oil Trough to put the child
ren in school and occupied the J.
D. Neal home. She was a splendid
wife and friend, and a devoted mother,
and the little son and daughter will
miss greatly their mother’s love.
The ^ineral service will be held at
the grave at Moorefield by P.ev. Verne
Stover j)i the Episcopal church at
Batesville. The husband, father and
sister, Miss Emma Bateman, have
the deepest sympathy of their large,
circle of friends in this great be
reavement.
CARD OF THANKS.
In this, our sad' hour, we wish to
assure the Elks Lodge, those who
made such beautiful floral offerings
and other friends of the family of our
appreciation for the many kindnesses
shown us on the occasion of the loss
of our dear son and brother. May
May their lives be resplendant with
gracious blessings and bare of sor
row.
