DEATH AT SHARON

Mrs. Ann O`Keefe Passed Away Thursday In Her Eighty-Third Year.

            Sharon, Ga., May 30—Mrs. Ann O`Keefe died at the home of her son, Mr. John O`Keefe, in Sharon. The 18^th inst., at the advanced age of 88 years.

            Mr. O`Keefe was a native of Ireland. Born in town of Duntalk, county Louthe, A.D. 1823. She was the wido of the late Daniel O`Keefe, who was for many years was one of the foremost citizens of Sharon, and who, when he died in 1885, was as widely known and highly respected as any man in Taliferro County.

            In January of last year, during a sleet and storm, Mrs. O`Keefe fell and sustained a dislocation of the knee joint. The dislocation was promptly seduced, but she never recovered from the shocks sustained, and was not again able to leave her bed.

            During the long, weary months succeeding, she was always very patient and resigned, often expressing herself to her many friends as only waiting for her Heavenly Father to come and take her home.

            She was a woman of exceptional intelligence. Being a great reader she was possessed of a fund of information far beyond the ordinary.

            As a neighbor she was well beloved and was highly esteemed by all  who came within  the range of her acquaintance.

            The large lot of people who thronged the Catholic Church, of which she was  a devout member, to pay the last tribute of respect to her memory, attested the wideness and depth of affection  with which she was held by all.

            She leaves one son and one daughter, Mrs. Williams L. Kendrick, and a host of friends to mourn her departure.
