• Notes

  Cause of Death: Pneumonia of one week's duration Research and source notes: Deborah Sweet - 1) Obit from Martin SW Bible: "Laurens, Jan. 31[Sunday] -Miss Louise Southworth, brief notice of whose death was in Saturday's paper,died at the family home on Friday evening at 8 o'clock, death being due to pneumonia, which developed a week ago following an illness of flu and other complications since January 10. The funeral services will be held on Monday with prayer services at the home at 1 o'clock, and funeral services at the Methodist Episcopal Church at 1:30 p.m. The Rev. Norman B. Graves of Mt. Upton, a former pastor here and an intimate friend of the family, will officiate. Burial will be held in Laurens cemetery. The deceased was born January 18, 1903, at the home farm about three miles north of this village; living there withher parents until five years ago, when they moved to this village. Followingthe death of her mother (formerly Mrs. Mary Strait Ainslee) soon after theirremoval to the village, she assumed the duties of housekeeper in the home giving it her most careful attention. Surviving her are her father, Charles Southworth, and one brother, Frederick, 12 years of age; and to these two so badly bereft the sympathy of the entire community is extended. The deceased wasmuch loved by all, owing in great measure to her cheery optimism and every-ready smile, always ready and willing to do anything in her power for any justcause: and she will be greatly missed by a large circle of friends. She was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church and Sunday school, being secretary of the latter, and in both these whe will be missed as but few Sundays found her absent. She was also a member of the Laurens W.C.T.U. and of Laurens grange. A young woman of fine attainments and much beloved, a wide circle of friends, while bowing in submission to the father's will, will deeply regret her demise."
