Mrs. Anna L. Avery
Mrs. Anna L. Avery, age 63, passed away following an illness of three months. Mrs. Avery was postmistress for twenty years at McDonald. Never was there the slightest complaint made by officials or the patrons as to her service. It was a pleasure to go to the office after mail as she always wore a smile and had a kind word for all those with whom she came in contact. A more competent, deserving and upright postmistress or postmaster can never take her place in the office.
The community has lost more than it can ever gain, but the loss to the community is Heaven's gain. Due to ill health Mrs. Avery could not attend church services, as she liked to. She was a member of the Presbyterian church at Carolina since a young girl and lived strictly up to her belief. Her friends were unnumbered, for they were those who met her. Her life is a living aspiration to those who knew her. Besides the great host of friends left to grieve for Mrs. Avery she leaves three daughters, Miss Luna Avery, Mrs. Florence Mason and Mrs. S. W. Rivers, a sister, Mrs. W. L. Lofton and a brother, Mr. L. G. McNair.
Mrs. Avery had just returned home from Philadelphia Hospital and seemed to be improving when stricken with apoplexy. All that doctors, nurses, friends and loved ones could do was done but to no avail. God loved her best and called her home.
She is missed more than words can express, for her home is so vacant and charmless without her. Greatest of all is the consoling thought of all her trouble and suffering being over.
By one who knew her.
