Mrs. Susan Hinson, 87, Has Died, Oct. 14, 1926

Aged Lady Passes Away

One of the oldest residents of Beaufort passed away Tuesday afternoon when Mrs. Susan Hinson died. She was 87 years old and apparently up to the time of her death was in fairly good health for one of her age.

Mrs. Hinson died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Clares Springle who lives at 411 Turner street. She was originally from Goldsboro but had lived in Beaufort for 45 years. The funeral services took place at the Free Will Baptist church and were conducted by the Rev. W. J. Moore, assisted by the Rev. W. W. Lewis. The interment was in Ocean View cemetery.

Surviving relatives of the deceased lady were two sons, Mr. C. L. Hinson of Kinston, a son by her first marriage Mr. John Boyd of Wilson. Two daughters, Mrs. Charles Springle of Beaufort and Mrs. R. W. Williams of La Grange, also survive Mrs. Hinson.
