Mrs. Rhett's death bring sincere sorrow to the large circle of her friends and relatives not only in this city, but in her native state, where she was well known and loved for her strong mentality and womanly charm. Mrs. Roman was born and rared in a time and in a city where culture meant everything and advantages were in reach of parents who themselves had enjoyed all that could be desired for their children. Her gift of mind was rich with the fruition of the seed planted by accomplished tutors and splendid schools, but greatest of all her youth was under the impress of one of South Carolina's most brilliant writers and accomplished statesman, her father R. Barnwell Rhett of Charleston. Mrs. Roman resided in New Orleans before coming to Columbia a few years ago. She was the widow of the late Judge Alfred Roman, a distinguished citizen of New Orleans.

Mrs. Roman is survived by five children, Mrs. E. R. Dufour of New York city, and Alfred Rhett Roman, Miss Jeanne de Saussure Roman, Miss Garguerite Anie Roman and Charles Beauregard Roman.

Mrs. Roman was a woman of culture and of the Southern refinement. She was a brilliant writer, having contributed to many leading papers and magazines, including the American Review, Outing and others and was a regular contributor for years to the New Orleans Times-Democrat.

In New Orleans, her former home she was a charter member of "The Quarantes," one of New Orleans' exclusive clubs, and she was a leader in the social activities of that famed city. Mrs. Roman was also a leader in social affairs in Columbia. One of the organizations in which she took a prominent part is The Girls of the '60s.
