Last Tuesday night about 9 o'clock, Mrs. Matilda M. Butler, who was the widow of the late Wm. Butler, died suddenly at her late home, at the top of the Cheatham Bridge Hill, two miles from Columbia. The deceased was in her 72th year, and was in this place, trading, all day Tuesday. When she reached home she was feeling in perfect health and was in a happy frame of mind. She sat with her daughters in the family room until it was time to go to her own apartment. One of her daughters went with her to her room, and in a
short time she was ready to take her bed, but before lying down she placed one of her hands on her head, a strange look coming over her countenance, and in a very short time she passed away.
Dr. C M. Russell was called and pronounced the attack of apoplexy, and informed her daughters that medical aid could do no good. She leaves six daughters who are sorely grieved over the dispensation of providence. Mrs. Butler, before her marriage, was as Miss Banks and there are many relatives of that name in the county. She was an excellent Christian woman, a member of the Methodist Church, and she instilled right living into her offspring. The funeral services were conducted by Revs. Sleamaker and Murrell, Wednesday, and the interment was in the Butler grave yard. There were many who attended the last sad rites. May God comfort the stricken family, is the wish of all who know the, loving mother, and whose sympathy is extended to the six dutiful daughters.
