THE CHILDREN OF MRS. CAROLINE LARENDON FAY ALL MEET AT HER FUNERAL
The funeral of Mrs. Caroline Larendon Fay, which was postponed until yesterday morning at 11 o'clock, took place from St. Philip's cathedral and the body was laid to rest in Oakland Cemetery. Mrs. Fay was seventy-six years old at the time of her death and was a most estimable and much beloved lady. She was born in Charleston, South Carolina in 1818.
An incident of peculiar interest at the funeral was the face that the children of Mrs. Fay were all together for the first time in thirty years. Two of Mrs. Fay's children, Mrs. V. P. Sisson and Mr. W. S. Larendon, live in Atlanta, Dr. J. Larendon came from Houston, Texas to attend the funeral; Colonel Charles A. Larendon from New Orleans, and Mr. M. W. Larendon from New York. The four sons served as pallbearers, the funeral having been postponed in order that they might have time to arrive.
It was just ten years ago yesterday that Colonel Charles A. Larendon's wife, General Beauregard's only daughter, was buried.
