Mrs. Clyde GivensDies Suddenly.Stricken While Picking Violets Sunday Afternoon and Expired almost Instantly.Mrs. Jennie Lou Givens, wife of Mr. Y. C. Giive'ns, died suddenly at their home on Harwell Avenue last Sunday afternoon at about 1:30 o’clock. The end came without warning-, accentuating the shock to her f family and friends of the sad passing of this popular young woman. Mrs. Givens had eaten dinner shortly before and apparently was as well as usual. She was in the front yard picking violets when suddenly she was stricken, presumably with acute indigestion, and expired before her husband could reach her.The funeral services were held at e the residence on Tuesday morning, and were conducted by Rev. Sam Slack of New Orleans. The beautiful song services was under charge of the following. Dr. Mary Brewster, Mesdames J. L. Bradfield, and N. R. Hutchinson: Misses Charlotte Wing, Lulie Hudson, Kleinwachter, Mayfield and Beulah Crane: and Mr. J.L. Mallett. The remains were carried to Palmetto, the former home of Mr. Givens, on the noon train Tuesday for interment in Floral Hill Cemetery .Mrs. Givens before her marriage was Miss Jennie Lou Cox, a native of this county. Mr. and Mrs. Giv^s had been married nearly fourteen years, and had resided in LaGrange eleven years. Besides her husband Mrs. Givens is survived by a little adopted daughter of three years of age, and a sister, Mrs. W. T. Bell, of Hephzibah, Ga.Among those attending the funeral from a distance were Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Bell, Mr. W. A. Cox of Birmingham, an uncle of Mrs. Givens, Mr. Given’s sister, Mrs. A. F. Cranford, of Atlanta, Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Johnson, of College Park, and Mrs. Mary Redding, of Montgomery.As the news of Mr. Given’s sad bereavement spread over the city the hearts of all his friends went out to him, and this noble young man was given to know in some degree the warm place which he holds in the affections of all with whom he has come in contact. A large number of floral offerings were among the kindly expressions of sympathy and the feeling of loss of their friends. Among the floral offerings was a particularly large and handsome one sent in the name of the secret orders of which Mr. Givens is a member. It was in effect, however, an expression from the employees and their families of the mills in South LaGrange.Mr. Givens requests The Reporter to say that he is deeply grateful for the kindly sympathy and interest of his friends and that it has been a great help to him in this dark hour.
