J. FAUSETT DIED SUNDAY AT HER HOME HERE Mrs. John Fausett, an old and beloved resident of Roanoke, died at her home in this place early Sunday morning in her sixty-sixth year. She was stricken with paralysis on the third of August and had been confined to her bed since, growing feebler from month to month. Mrs. Fausett was born and spent her life in this vicinity. She was married to Mr. Fausett forty-five years ago. She was devoted to her husband and two children, Mrs. Joe Strong and Mrs. Rufus West and other loved ones, and to the Baptist church of which she was a long time member. Funeral services were held from this church at ten Monday morning in charge of the pastor, Dr. Hines. The pastor of the Methodist church offered the opening prayer. Favorite songs were rendered by the choir, including a solo by Mr. Hornsby. Handsome floral offerings bespoke the love and sympathy of many friends. Interment followed in the family lot in the city cemetery. The passing of this good woman removed a resident of Roanoke who had lived here since the town was a village. The Fausett family has had a large and honorable part in the upbuilding of this town and county. Mrs. Fausett was a Miss Slay and her mother was the daughter of the late Captain B.H. Ford, two prominent families thus united. ---- LOCAL News Among those called here to attend the funeral of Mrs. John Fausett on Monday were Mr. and Mrs. Addison White of Opelika, Mrs. R.H. Strong, Mr. and Mrs. C.R. Strong, Mr. and Mrs. H.S. Strong and Mr. John Strong of LaGrange. --- Mrs. Rufus G. West were called here from Florida by the fatal illness of her mother Mrs. John Fausett, and will remain here several days with home folks.
