Obituary Fannie C. Edmondson
Mrs. Fannie C. Edmondson died at the home of her son-in-law, Mr. R. M. Wright, Santa Susana, California, on Friday, Nov. 21, 1913. The end came rather suddenly, but she was ready “to depart.” She was stricken paralysis Thursday evening and passed away the following Friday night in her 77th year. She was born near Charlottesville, Virginia, May 14, 1837, and was married August 25, 1860. Six children survive, three sons and three daughters, and eight grandchildren. She was member of the Presbyterian Church and retained her membership in the Saulsbury church until she died. Mrs. Edmondson was a woman of culture and refinement, quiet and retiring in her disposition, but pleasant and attractive in the home and social circle. She was an example of a quiet and unpretending practical religion. Her views on the great doctrines of the Bible were clear. Her faith was manifested not by words, but by a life adorned with those Christian graves so well pleasing in the sight of God. Her children “rise up and call her blessed.” She was laid to rest in the Simi Cemetery near Santa Susana, California.
S. C.
