SAD DEATH TODAY
Mrs. Prentiss Atkins Passed Away After Long Illness
It was with expressions of deepest regret that the news of the death of
Mrs. Prentiss M. Atkins was heard this morning. The end came about
10:30 o'clock and in a very short while the sad news was known all over
the city. The death, which occurred in her father's home in West
Monroe, is a peculiarly sad one, sad to see a young woman in the very
bloom of life taken from her husband and little children, besides many
other close relatives. Mrs. Atkins has been in poor health for two
years or more and she was forced to spend most of her time at Asheville,
N.C., away from home and friends. She came home recently and steadily
grew worse until death relieved her of all suffering this morning. The
untimely taking away of this young wife and mother was a great shock to
her friends whom she numbered by her acquaintances. Most of them knew
of of (sic) her illness but few realized death was so near.
Mrs. Atkins was the daughter of Hon. And Mrs. Uriah Millsaps. She
leaves besides them, her husband, Prentiss M. Atkins; two bright little
girls, three sisters, Mrs. George G. Weaks, Mrs. Claude Youngblood and
Miss Aldina Millsaps; two brothers, Benton Millsaps and Herbert
Millsaps, besides many other relatives and a host of friends.
The funeral services will take place tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock
and will be held at the First Presbyterian church. Interment will be in
the city cemetery immediately following.
