DIED.
GEORGE - At her home, Cashmere Plantation, Natchitoches parish, Louisiana, Friday, Novebmer 25, 1898, of malarial fever, Mrs. Penelope P. George, nee Hodges, wife of Judge A. G. George, of Natchitoches Parish, formerly of Webster parish.
The remains arrived last night on the Texas and Pacific west-bound train, accompanied by the bereaved husband, her sister, Mrs. S. J. Ward; Dr. Egan and other friends, and were taken to the residence of Col. S. J. Ward.
Funeral will take place this afternoon at 3 o'clock from the residence of Col. S. J. Ward on Jordan street. Interment at the old cemetery.
Deceased was a daughter of Major Robert Hodges, of Bossier parish, on of the largest, wealthiest and most prominent family connections in north Louisiana. The deceased was married to Judge A. B. George before the war, and the union proved to be one of unbroken and rare happiness. Through all the long years of their married life there was a tender and sweet mutual devotion, always the same, under any and all circumstances, that was charming to see and that rendered their lives beautiful and joyous to the themselves as well as their numerous relatives and friends.
Mrs. George possessed those rare qualities of head and heart that endeared her to all with whom she came in contact. She was a most devoted, self-sacrificing wife, who knew no greater joy than to contribute to her husband's comfort and happiness. Ever a conscientious and consistent christian, her charity and deeds to the needy and helpless knew no bounds.
She will indeed by sorely and sadly missed by her devoted husband, whose close and constant companion she has been for so many years. No one but he can realize what this separation means to him. Besides her husband the deceased leaves a sister, Mrs. S. J. Ward, of this city, the only living member of her father's immediate family, to mourn her loss. The husband and sister and other relatives have the sincere sympathy of all in their bereavement. Mrs. Ward was called to her sister's bedside upon appearance of the first alarming symptoms and remained with and nursed her to the end.
