MISS BEULAH LAIRD DIES AT HOME HERE
SATURDAY AFTER A SHORT ILLNESS
Prominent Resident Succumbed To Paralysis
FLORAL TRIBUTES GREATEST SEEN HERE
Miss Beulah Laird, one of this community's
most highly respected residents, passed away
at her home on Main Street at an early hour
Saturday morning after an illness of about
six weeks. Death was due to paralysis. She
was fifty-nine years of age. The death of
Miss Beulah, as she was more familiarly
known, came as a great shock to the entire
community. Her entire life was spent in
Crisfield, and it is doubtful if any other
resident of the community had a larger
number of friends.
For many years Miss Laird conducted one of
the city's leading millinery establishments.
A few years ago she discontinued that line
of business and became one of the best
known florists in this section. She was
engaged in this business until the time of
her death.
The deceased was a member of Mount
Pleasant M. P. Church and took an active
interest in all affairs of her church as
well as in the social life of her
community. She was well known for her
interest and work in charity organizations.
She worked hard and long and found much
pleasure in giving to the needy. She was
also a member of the Women's Christian
Temperance Union.
The deceased is survived by one sister,
Mrs. John Mears, and one nephew, Mr.
Jennings B. Mears, both of Crisfield.
Funeral services were held from Mt.
Pleasant M. P. Church Tuesday afternoon,
conducted by the Rev. J. J. Bunting,
assisted by the Revs. J. T. Rowlenson,
J. Yancey Fincher, and R. C. Graham,
of Lemont, Va.
The large number of friends present at the
funeral services testified to the esteem
in which she was held. The floral display
was one of the largest ever seen in Crisfield.
Pall bearers were J. Millard Tawes, A.
Wellington Tawes, Marvin Tawes, Vernon
Tawes, J. Edwin Tawes, John Tawes, all
of Crisfield.
Interment was in the family lot in
Crisfield Cemetery.
