Daughter of Francis H. Cheves and Elvira Andrew (Harris) Cheves and the wife of Robert Simpson English, Sr.
Macon County Citizen - Oglethorpe, Ga. January 22, 1926
A most horrible tragedy occurred in our town Saturday afternoon, when the clothing of Mrs. R. S. English caught fire from an open grate and before help could reach her, she was so burned about the lower part of her body that she lived only about twenty-four hours.
Everything was done for her that could be done but medical skill availed nothing, and the end came peaceably about two o'clock Sunday afternoon.
She is survived by her Husband, Mr. R. S. English, one daughter, Mrs. George Moss of Persia, Iowa; and five sons, Matchet English of Quitman; Wallace English of Macon; Paul English of Ideal; John English or Cordele; and Robert English of Chipley, Fla. to whom the entire community extends their sympathy in this great bereavement.
The funeral was conducted by Rev. H. F. Jelks and interment was in the Oglethorpe Cemetery.
