The news that Mrs. E.H. Liverman, aged 32, had died at her home here Wednesday afternoon at 2 o’clock, was received with sincere sorrow throughout the county.
On Thursday afternoon, February 5th, Mrs. Liverman attended a meeting of the Ladies Aid Society at the home of Mrs. W.J. Jackson, after which she visited her sister-in-law, Mrs. L.J. Spear. At this place she was seized with a violent chill which rendered her unable to get home without assistance, and she was carried to her home by Mrs. L.M. Hampton. The illness developed into pneumonia, and despite the efforts of physicians, relatives and friends, she succumbed to this malady in less than a week.
The deceased was born near Creswell and was married to Mr. E.H. Liverman who at that time was a citizen of that community. About 10 years ago they moved near (line obscured) was principal of Chapel Hill school. A few years ago Mr. Liverman moved to Plymouth and established himself with a wholesale concern at Elizabeth City as a traveling salesman, and is now considered one of the most valuable men they have in their employ.
Besides her husband, she leaves one brother, Mr. L.J. Spear of this place, and seven children, Neva Mae, Willie Benton, Aubrey Ward, Mable Lee, Elsie Lorena, Philip Gray, Hazel Louise. Two children, Robert Graham and Mary Elizabeth, died some time ago.
The funeral service was held in the Christian church yesterday afternoon, being conducted by Rev. Bagby of Washington, assisted by all resident ministers after which the interment was made in Windley cemetery near town. A large crowd of sorrowing friends and relatives attended both services.
Besides a profusion of floral tributes given by admiring and sorrowful friends and relatives beautiful wreaths were sent by the Masons, Knights of Pythias, Odd Fellows, K.K.K. and Charitable Brotherhood.
The Beacon wishes to add its voice to those who deeply sympathize with the grief-stricken bereaved.
