Issue of October 5, 1882:
Died, on Sunday, Sept. 24, at Rome, Ga., Mrs. Marion Woodrow Bones, wife of Mr. James W. Bones, and daughter of the late Rev. Dr. Thomas Woodrow. She was a loving daughter, sister, wife and mother.
Note on date of birth: Mrs. Bones' tombstone gives her year of birth as 1834. This is in error. Her birth is recorded in the Congregational Church records in Carlisle, England, as 22 November 1832, and her baptism on 5 February 1833. She obviously could not have been baptized before she was born. As her father was the pastor of the church, these dates were recorded by him personally.
