Fannie E. Rhea

RHEA, Fannie - There was great surprise and sorrow here last Thursday

on receipt of the intelligence that Miss Fannie Rhea had died at Rhea’s

Mill the day before. While visiting her sister, Mrs. J.H. McIlroy, in this city

a few weeks ago she was summoned home to attend the bedside of another

sister, Miss Alice Rhea, who was very low with typhoid fever. The latter is

now convalescing but Miss Fannie contracted the same disease and now

lies in the tomb. She was a most excellent young lady, of noble qualities of

head and heart, and her untimely death brings sorrow not only to her immediate

family but to numerous friends. A number of people from this city

attended the funeral. [Fayetteville Democrat 11/7/1890]
