AGED SPENCER WOMAN ANSWERS LAST CALL

Mrs. Alice Argabrite Passes Away last Monday Morning

Mrs. Alice G. Argabrite, aged 72 years, one of the best known and most highly respected of the older residents of this city,succumbed to an attack of heart failure at the home of her son, Fleet Argabrite, last Monday. Mrs. Argabrite had been in poor health for some time, but her demise was a severe shock to her family and friends.

She was born in this county October 8th, 1850, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Ingram, and had lived in Roane County all her life. Converted at an early age, Mrs. Argabrite was a life-long consistent and exemplary member of the M. E. Church.

Possessed of a strikingly sweet and amiable disposition, the deceased drew unto herself the affection and admiration of all who were so fortunate as to know her, and her passing has brought forth many tributes of esteem, indicating the large place she occupied in the lives of those who best knew her.

She is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Emma Thompson and Mrs. Ida Hunt of this city; four sons, Dr. B. G. Argabrite of Depoy, KY, Homer Argabrite of Dunbar, WV, M. F. and F. W. Argabrite of Spencer; and a number of grand children and great-grand children, nearly all of whom attended the funeral service conducted at the home Tuesday, conducted by Rev. W. K. Doutt, after which the remains were laid to rest in the Argabrite Cemetery on lower Spring Creek.
