DEATH OF MRS.COVENA IN EMAUNUEL COUNTY

Swainsboro, Ga., July 26 - After a lingering illness, covering several years, Mrs. Frank Covena died at her home in Smithton today. Mrs. Covena has been a sufferer from some kind of dropsical affection for quite a long time and her death at this time was not wholly unexpected.
Before her marriage Mrs. Covena was Miss Armitta Fields, daughter of the late Elder J.W. Fields, a well known Primitive Baptist preacher of this county and Mrs. Louisa Fields, who only recently celebrated her eightieth birthday.
Mrs. Covena was forty seven years of age, a consistent member of the Primitive Baptist Church and a good woman.
She is survived by her husband and seven children, all grown, Messrs. Nat, Bell and James Covena, Mrs. J.L. Richardson, Mrs. Somer Faircloth, Misses Armitta and Cleo Fields, and by her mother, Mrs. Louisa Fields. - July 27, 1910, Augusta Chronicle
