From Days Gone By June 24,1915

June 24, 1915.

    A sad and sudden death came to Mrs. R. L. Peoples, wife of Rev. R. L. Peoples, pastor of Brown Memorial Baptist church. Her death occurred last Saturday morning at her home, the Baptist pastorium. It was quite a surprise not only to her family, but to the community as well.

    Mrs. Peoples was of a frail constitution, and had been in delicate health for several years and on last Thursday she was taking violently ill from an abscessed lung and other complications from which her death resulted.

    Mrs. Peoples was formerly Miss Vera Midyett, daughter of Rev. J. C. Midyett of Kansas City, Missouri, from which place she came to Wrightsville about two months ago, after her husband accepted the call to Brown Memorial. She was a cultured, refined Christian woman, an accomplished musician and instrumental in organizing an excellent choir at the church. She was a prominent member of the Women's Missionary Society, and teacher of the Baraca Class.

    Mrs. Peoples was just 30 years old and survived by her husband, her parents, and two sisters. Far from her north western home she was laid to rest at Westview Cemetery.

    The Camp-Fire girls of Dublin are encamped at Idylwild this week. Prof. Faircloth is holding a singing school at the Vivola auditorium. Little Miss Julia Tompkins celebrated her 11th birthday Tuesday. Mr. J. M. Bryan has gone to Folkston where he has accepted the position of bookkeeper at a lumber mill.

    Hon. W. C. Brinson, Johnson's new representative, left for Atlanta for the convening of the General Assembly. Postmaster R. P. Hicks and wife have moved from their country home to apartments at Mrs. W. W. Anthony's on North Marcus. H. C. Tompkins left in his touring car on a pleasure trip to Nashville accompanied by his colored chauffeur.

    Mr. Charles Fulford arrived from Atlanta to see his parents, Mr. & Mrs. J. T. Fulford before he heads to his new home in Des Moines, Iowa. Mrs. J. Tom Flanders of Piney Mt. is much better, and the week and two day old infant of Mr. & Mrs. Beasley was laid to rest at Piney Mt.

    E. T. Carroll lost a 8 month old female English Setter, color white, three black spots, speckle nose. Reward offered. Also lost between Wrightsville and Idylwild, one rear license plate for auto No. 17908, lamp attached to it. Reward offered. The chigger promised us by Mr. S. B. Miller has arrived.

    Miss Lucile Mayo, daughter of Mr. & Mrs. M. D. Mayo died June 11th at her home from an attack of acute appendicitis. She was buried at Beulah Baptist cemetery. She was just 13 years old and an attractive, lovable girl.

    The air is rife with rumors of secret marriages. Whether there is any foundation for the rumors remain to be seen. One is said to have occurred one night this week at the home of one of the pastors, and the secret is to be kept ten days. The other marriage is said to have taken place about six weeks ago in neighboring Dublin.
