Funeral services will be conducted this morning for Mrs. Susan Dawson, mother of James B. Dawson, publisher of the local newspapers, who passed away in Charlotte at 9 o’clock yesterday morning following a brief illness.
The remains are expected to arrive on the 9.14 train from Goldsboro, and the service will be conducted from the station immediately thereafter, interment to be made in Cedar Grove cemetery. Accompanying the body here will be James B. Dawson and Leon M. Dawson, of New Bern, and J.T. Dawson of Alliance, sons of the deceased, who had been at her bedside for several days, and her daughter, Miss Mamie Dawson of Charlotte, with whom she had been making her home.
Mrs. Dawson, who was 74 years of age, sustained a fall in which she suffered a broken arm six weeks ago. This injury was followed by the serious illness which resulted in her death yesterday.
The deceased was a resident of New Bern for a number of years, coming here from Pamlico county, where her husband was for several years sheriff. She moved away from this city 15 years ago, going to Charlotte, where she had since resided with her daughter.
Prominently known wherever she had lived, Mrs. Dawson was greatly loved by hosts of friends.
