MRS. VESTAL IS CALLED
Good Woman Passed Away After Learning of Her Sons Success.
BURIAL HELD HERE TODAY
Following a continued illness due to infirmities brought on by her advanced age, Mrs. William H. Vestal, age 84, and known personally to all of the older residents of this city and vicinity, died late Saturday evening at her home west of Frankton. The deceased had been failing rapidly for several days and her children and family had been at the bedside almost constantly for hours before the final summons came.
The deceased was born in Gilford county, North Carolina and there her childhood and early girlhood was spent. Shortly after her marriage to the late William Vestal, the family moved to Madison county where they had lived for almost half a century, practically all of that time being spent in Pipecreek township. The father of the deceased was a decendant of Andrew Jackson and she was a second cousin of this famous man. She was a woman of splendid education and refinement and a woman who stopped at no sacrifice and who left nothing undone for the advancement and best interests of her children. Despite her serious condition she had displayed a deep interest in the race her son, Albert H. Vestal, was making for the nomination for Congress on the Republican ticket and her wish was granted that she might live to learn the successful result of the primary. She was a lifelong member of the Methodist church and a splendid woman, deeply loved and respected by all who knew her.
The husband of the deceased died about 9 years ago and she is survived by the following children: Capt. S. P. Vestal, of the regular army, stationed at San Francisco, a teacher of military science; Mrs. Martha Haskett, Custer City, Okla.; Robert Vestal, Elwood; John L. Vestal, Frankton; Chas. A Vestal, who lives on a farm near the family home place; Mrs. Lily Zimmerman, at the home place, and Albert H. Vestal, of Anderson.
The funeral was held today at the home near Frankton, being one of the most largely attended held in that vicinity in months, and interment followed at the side of her husband in the cemetery here.
