MRS. F.A DANIEL DEAD
END CAME SUDDENLY THIS MORNING
ONLY HER HUSBAND WAS WITH HER SO UNEXPECTED WAS THE SUMMONS. THE ENTIRE CITY MOURNS HER DEATH

Mrs. Carrie Borden Daniels, beloved wife of Hon. F. A. Daniels, of this city, passed suddenly from life this morning at 7:30 o'clock. So unexpected was the summons and so quickly did the end come that only her husband was with her. He was making his toilet and Mrs. Daniels was still in bed.

They had just been conversing and he had been persuading her to remain in bed for the day, as she had not been well for several days and had been in delicate health for months. For some moments there was quiet and he was standing in the mirror adjusting his tie when he saw Mrs. Daniels make a sudden struggle for breath. He came quickly to her bedside and raised her up, but there was no consciousness in her countenance. He hastily endeavored to administer a stimulant, but without avail. Physicians were summoned by phone and members of her family, all living in the near neighborhood, were gathered, only to find--but they could not realize it--that death had already claimed her for his own.

Mrs. Daniels was the second daughter of Mr. E. B. Borden, and was from childhood a general favorite in the community. So cordial, so cheerful, so entirely unselfish, so considerate of all conditions in life, she was able to count among her friends the humble and the lowly as well as those in her own station, so that "Carrie Borden," wherever she walked, was always greeted with the tribute of pleasure at seeing her.
When death claims such a one it is not strange that the pulse of the whole community should beat in a common sorrow that is sincere, and that their sympathy should go out to the bereaved ones in inexpressible tenderness, as It does today for those who have been suddenly and all too sadly brought to the realization in their own homes that *in the midst of life we are in death," The summer will come again, and the stately trees about the home will bud and leaf, the roses and the flowers she loved and tended will loom as brightly and the birds will sing as sweetly as of old, but she who ave highest inspiration to the scene and happiness to all will not be there: let in the beauty of it all may there come back, whence she bas gone, then there comes now to comfort and sustain her loved ones sorrowing, the whisper of Faith in the Resurrection of the Life; that whosoever believeth in Him,as she did, shall not die--there no death! "The stars go down to shine upon some brighter shore," and that which we call death is but a transition to higher things to "see His face." which is the joy of the elect.

Growing up to young womanhood Miss.Carrie Borden was happily married to Mr. F. A. Daniels, of the Bar of his city, and to this union three children were born, two sons, Frank A.Jr., who is at the University, Chapel Hill, and George, who is at the Virginia Military Institute, and both of whom are now on their way home and little Mary Cleve. Besides these and her devoted husband, Mrs. Daniels is survived by her father and six full brothers and sistors and four half brothers and sisters.

The funeral will be held from St. Paul M. E. Church, of which she was
life long and exemplary member, tomorrow afternoon at 1 o'clock.
