Mrs. Margaret E. Dasher, wife of the late Mr. James A. Dasher, Sen., died suddenly in the Christian Church in Valdosta last Tuesday night of heart disease. Mr. J.A.
Harding, of Kentucky, who had been conducting a series of meetings had just finished his sermon and the last hymn was being sung when those who were near Mrs. Dasher saw her throw her hand up to her heart and sink in her seat. She was supposed to be in a faint, and a little wine which happened to be in the building for sacramental purposes was administered to her, and wet handkerchiefs applied to her face, but to no effect. She died in about ten minutes.
Mrs. Dasher had been quite unwell for some weeks and had had several attacks about the region of the heart. Only the day before she told a near relative that several times lately she was compelled to sit up in bed two hours at a time, and she feared that she would die suddenly and alone sometime with one of those spells.
Mrs. Dasher leaves two daughters, Mrs. W.A. Pardee and Mrs. R.T. Myddleton, one son, Mr. H.D. Smith, of Atlanta, quite a number of grandchildren, and numerous other relatives. She was very quite and retired in manner, but was beloved by all who knew her many womanly and Christian virtues. Her remains were buried in our cemetery Thursday morning, the funeral services being
conducted from the Christian Church.
~The Valdosta Times. Saturday, 17 April 17 1886.
Married twice:
1. Duncan Smith
2. James A Dasher Sr. (a cousin)
