Death of Mrs. James T. Deese.
Mrs. James T. Deese died at her home five miles southwest of Monroe Tuesday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock. She had been ill for some time, pneumonia being the direct cause of her death.
Mrs. Deese, who lived in the Macedonia community, would have been seventy-one years old on the 12th of February, having been born in 1852. She was Miss Ellen Arant of Chesterfield county, S. C., and was married to Mr. Deese in 1874. He with four sons and one daughter survive. The sons are W. C. Deese of Monroe, J. E. Deese of Greenville, G. C. Deese of Rock Hill, S. C., and Fred Deese of Washington, D. C., the latter being unable to come home for the funeral. Mrs. W. B. Davis of Monroe is the surviving daughter, and was too ill at the time of her mother's death to attend the funeral. For forty-eight years Mr. and Mrs. Deese lived in the same community in which they settled, where they have endeared themselves to the people. Mrs. Deese was a most excellent christian woman, a member of the Methodist church, a devoted wife and mother, and was always active in the welfare of the community.
Funeral services were held at the home Wednesday afternoon by Dr. C. C. Weaver, pastor of the Central Methodist church of Monroe and interment was made in the Monroe cemetery.
The pall bearers were her sons, W. C. Deese, G. C. Deese, J. E. Deese, her grand-sons, Charlie Deese and Frank Deese, and her son-in-law, W. B. Davis.
