DEATH OF AN OLD RESIDENT --
Mrs. Louisa Daniel Rutledge passed away at the home of her niece, Mrs. Arch Caughran, of this place on Friday afternoon, November 27th, at 4:30 o'clock, having reached the advanced age of 97 years. She came of British-Irish parentage, surviving five generations of her family connections.
Mrs. Rutledge was the daughter of Calloway Daniel of South Carolina and Lucinda Cook, whose family came to this country from Scotland before the Revolutionary War. They early in life settled at Mulberry, Tennessee, where they amassed quite a large fortune at that day and time, being an extensive land owner and possessing a large number of negro slaves. Mr. Daniel also was stationed in Revolutionary War four years.
Mrs. Rutledge was married at the age of 14 to Mr. Sam Rutledge in 1844, at Mulberry, Tennessee, and lived there until his death on March 1st, 1884. Mr. Rutledge was a direct descendant of the two noted politicians and jurists, Edward and John Rutledge, who were cousins and both studied for the bar in England and later practiced law at Charleston, South Carolina, both served in Congress a number of times - Edward at the Continental Congress, and one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, both governors of South Carolina - Edward, 1798-1800, and John as President of same, 1776-1778, and governor, 1779-1782, also serving as one of the convention who framed the Constitution of the United States, later appointed by President George Washington as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States.
Mrs. Rutledge was a woman of fine intelligence, was a great reader and until her eyes failed with her advancing years, The Family Records, as entered by her, were were faithfully and carefully presented for the future generations, who were to come after. She was a member of the Primitive Baptist Church and remained true and devoted to its teachings throughout her long life, and with that abiding faith, as she said before she passed away "I am going home at last." Always a tender, loving mother, grandmother, and relative, she was loyal to each and every one, even unto the last generation of great and great-great-grandchildren, of which there were 47 to survive her and revere her name. In her immediate family, she is survived by a sister, Mrs. Betty Conner, and a brother, Mr. W. B. Daniel, both of this county, and four sons, J. H. Rutledge of Tullahoma, I. C. Rutledge of Mulberry, R. F. Rutledge and John B. Rutledge of Fayetteville. It has been estimated that Mrs. Rutledge (including the nearest of him) had somewhere near one hundred close relatives in this county alone, making an unusually large family.
