Mary's Angel © 2013 S. Lincecum MARY OCTAVIA WEAVER PASSES AWAY SUNDAY SHE HAD HUNDREDS OF OLD AND YOUNG FRIENDS WHO MOURN HER DEATH. 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 announcement of the death was heralded throughout the city yesterday and caused hundreds of her schoolmates and elder friends, who almost idolized her, to bow down their heads and weep in sorrow. The death is made doubly sad by the fact that her beautiful young life was just blossoming into young womanhood. The funeral services were held at the residence Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, Rev. T. D. Ellis officiating. The body was carried to Greensboro, Ga., leaving Macon this morning at 2:30 o'clock, via the Georgia Railroad. The interment will occur this afternoon in the family lot at Greensboro. [ Macon Telegraph (Georgia), 12 No...
