MRS. W. T. LAYMAN
Passes Away After a Years Suffering From a Paralytic Stroke
About a year ago Mrs. W. T. Layman was stricken with paralysis and
until death came shortly before noon Friday last, she had suffered
untold agonies therefrom. She was about fifty-five years of age at the
time of her death. Her maiden name was Parmelia J. Edgar and was united
in marriage with William T. Layman in Shelbyville on Feb. 11, 1872. To
this union one child was born, which preceded his mother to the grave
at the age of eleven years. Mrs. Layman was a kind and devoted wife and
her taking off is a sad blow to her companion who is heart broken and
bowed down by the sad affliction. She was a faithful and consistent
member of the Methodist Episcopal church and up to the time of her
illness she was a regular attendant at the First M. E. church. The
funeral services were conducted at the church Sunday afternoon at two
o'clock by Rev. J. R. Van Pelt, the pastor of that church, after which
the remains were tenderly borne to Glenwood where interment was made.
Mr. Layman was the heartfelt sympathy of all in his sad bereavement.
