"BUCHANAN NEWS.
Miss Eugenie Vines died at the residence here of her grandmother, Mrs. James Mundy, at 3:30 p. m. on Sunday, from consumption. She is survived by her mother and one brother Mr. Haden Vines of Roanoke. Her funeral was preached by Rev. Miller of the Lutheran church at Roanoke on Monday evening in the Baptist church; Rev. Morris of that church and Rev. Hammond of the Methodist church taking part in the exercises. After which her remains were conveyed to the cemetery here and laid to rest by the side of her father to await in glorious hope the second coming of the Son of Man. The floral offering was beautiful and in great profusion. Her loved ones have the sympathy of many friends. A goodly delegation from Roanoke attended her burial.
On Thursday last Mr. W. B. Thompson had a telegraphic announcement of the death of his, sister, Mrs. Ann M. Hardy, at the home of his niece, Mrs. M. E. Ligg, with whom Mrs. Hardy had made her home at Kent Island, Md, for the past ten years.
Mrs. Hardy was the oldest and Mr. Thompson the youngest of six children of Elder John G, and Margaret Thomson who, with Elder Wm. Bell and family arrived at Pattonsburg from Richmond, where Mrs. Hardy was born July 14, 1876, Dec. 25, 1817. Mrs Hardy was one of, and the last one of the original members of the Buchanan Baptist church, organized in July 1836 and of which she was a member at the time of her death. Had she lived until July 14th, she would have been 88 years of age. Her death was sudden and rather unexpected, she seemingly being in her usual health on the morning of her death which, doubtless, was due to cancer on the side of her nose, mingled with declining age. She was buried at Kent Island on Friday, her funeral services being conducted by Rev. John Tizer, Baptist minister, of Bedford County, now of Easton, Md.
The Felix block adjoining Central Hotel is being treated to a fresh coat of paint, which will add greatly to its appearance. W.
