MRS. HARRY MATHIS
Mrs. Nell Mathis, nee Hutch
ins, was born in Saline county,
July 29, 1892, the daughter of
Robert L. and Mary J. Hutch
ins. Her mother died at
Benton in 1894, and her
father in 1905, since which
time, until her marriage to
H. P. Mathis of Cotton Plant,
she made her home with her
brother, Judge A. L. Hutchins
of this city.
Mrs. Mathis, or Miss Nell
as everyone called her, was,
endowed by nature with a ;
sunny, loving temperament, |
and by educational advanta-'
gc* Oi. die best obtainable. I
grew up into a cultured and
gracious womanhood by rea
son of these qualification«? of ;
mind and heart, her friends
were all those who knew her.
Her musical ability was
marked. She had music in
her soul, and as a teacher won
the hearts of her pupils. She
added to these . graces the
beauty of a semetrical Chris
tian life, being a devout mem-j
ber of the Methodist church, j
which she joined in earlv life.!
Her death brought sadness i
to many hearts in Cotton Plant
where she passed away Nov
ember 3rd. 1918, at 12:30 a. I
i m., and here where she had
lived so long, the feeling of
sadness was universal. ,
We laid her mortal re
mains to rest in the city ceme
tery on Monday, November 4,
in the presence of sympathiz
ing and loving friends whose
floral tributes, covering the j
newly made grave, bore fra
grant testimony to their love
for the deceased.
The funeral services were i
conducted by Rev. Henry !
Hanesworth who voiced the
sentiment of those present in
his brief address. We sorrow
but not as those wrho have no
hope for “We shall meet be
yond the river, where the sur
ges cease to roll.”—Augusta
Free Press.
