EMMA JANE SAXON
5 Jun 1865 – 4 Mar 1928
WEDOWEE News, March 5th
A death which came with shocking suddenness was that of Mrs. Emma Jane Saxon, which occurred at her home here Sunday morning, 4 Mar 1928 at 11:30 o'clock. It was known by near relatives that her heart troubled her at times but it was not thought that the trouble was at all serious. Only Mrs. Ellie Enloe, a neighbor who had been invited to dine with Mrs. Saxon, was with her at the time of her death.
She had been her usual, energetic self that morning and had prepared dinner for her guest with whom she was quietly conversing when suddenly she was seized with an attack of the heart and died almost instantly.
Mrs. Saxon had been a resident of Wedowee, AL for about 30 years, having moved here when her husband Mr. Alfred Saxon became circuit clerk in 1898. The deceased was loved by all who knew her. Her life had been spent in service for others. No one was called upon more often than was Mrs. Saxon to render service to the sick, distressed or needy and she always heeded the call. Her home, her neighbors, her church, her town will miss her.
She is survived by her two children, Mr. Guy Saxon of Carrollton, GA and Miss Eva Saxon of Atlanta, GA and a host of relatives.
Funeral services were held at the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, on Monday afternoon, 5 Mar 1928 at 3 o'clock. Rev S. R. Towns and
Rev T. N. Crumpton, local pastors and Rev H. S. Matthews of Five Points spoke words on the life of the deceased. Relatives from Wadley, Abanda, West Point, Atlanta and Carrollton attended the funeral and a host of friends in Wedowee and surrounding communities.
Sincerely,
