Death Of Mrs. Daisy Willis Hawkins.

Another 01 those particularly sad deaths, that of a young wile and mother who leaves a family of young children to suffer the lifelong and irreperable loss of a mother’s love and care, occurred Thursday, Jan. 3d, at Anderson, this state. It was that of Mrs. Daisy I Willis Hawkins, wife of Vermont Hawkins and oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ambrose I. Willis, of our city. She had been in failing health for quite a long time, and since the birth of a little daughter two weeks ago, her decline has been constant and beyond the skill of the doctors to ar rest or alleviate. A general decline of strength and vigor seems to have been the sole cause of her death. She was born in Rensselaer on March 10th, 1879, and her age at death was 27 years, 9 months and 23 days. She lived in Rensselaer all her life until she was married to Vermont Hawkins on May 19th, 1900, since which time And rson has been her home. Her husband survives her and three young children, the youngest being the daughter born about two weeks ago. Her parents also survive her and her mother was by her side when she passed away.
