Death of Cornelia Happer Faison.
After an illness of only a few days, Mrs. Cornelia Happer Faison died at her home at Elliott on the 23rd instant. She left one daughter, Mrs. Marion Butler, her only son, Edward Faison, having died a few years ago. Mr. and Mrs. Butler and her immediate family were present at her death, as well as other relatives and friends. Her minister, the. Rev. Mr. Williams of the Episcopal Church at Clinton, was also present during her last hours, and was engaged in conducting family prayer around her bedside where all the relatives and friends present had gathered and when these services were concluded, her family physician, Dr. A. M. Lee, who was sitting by her side, announced that the end had come, and thus she quietly breathed her last, in the presence of her loved one, and her faithful physician, just at the moment the pious man of God spake the final benediction.
It is sad to die, but since death must come to us all sooner or later, what more could be desired than to die under such circumstances. She had reached the 69th. year of her earthly pilgrimage, and while she did not reach the three score and ten, yet she had lived a long and useful life, and will be greatly missed in her community and her church, upon the services of which she was a most earnest, constant and devout attendant.
She leaves three sisters, Mrs. M. E. Fowle, of Washington, D. C.; Miss India Happer, of Portsmouth, Va; and Mrs. P. V. Bumgardner, Of Elliott, N. C.
The remains were placed in the Clinton cemetery beside her husband, Capt. E. L. Faison who preceeded her six years ago. The pall bearers were the six nephews of her deceased husband, as follows: Messrs. J. F. Faison, Alec. Faison. Moseiy Faison, Leondias Faison, Poidrous Faison and Frank Faison.
The funeral was conducted from the Clinton Episcopal church and the floral offerings were most beautiful and abundant.
