Miss Mary Octavia, the fourteen-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. M. Weaver , passed away at the City Hospital, at 2:30 o'clock yesterday morning, after an illness of about ten days.

The interment will occur this afternoon in the family lot at Greensboro. [ Macon Telegraph (Georgia), 12 No...
