MRS. R.H. BAUGH DEAD
Departed this life Thursday Evening, April 8th -- A Good Lady Gone.
Mrs. R.H. Baugh, well known and beloved throughout Greene county, died at her home near Greenesboro, Thursday evening, April 8th, of dropsy. She had been a sufferer for a long while, being entirely helpless for some time prior to her death, but bore all with Christian fortitude. Mrs. Baugh was the mother of nine children, six boys and two daughters now living, one child dying in infancy. She united with the Methodist church in Hancock county over thirty years ago, and had always been a consistent member. She was born in Greenesboro, and was a daughter of Hon. Sterling H. Gresham, prominent in his lifetime. Mr. R.H. Baugh, her bereaved husband, and her several children, are all excellent citizens, and have numbers of friends who sympathize with them very deeply. The funeral was at the Greenesboro cemetery, and was largely attended.
