Promising Girl Yields to Death Miss Daisy Cheney Passes Away After Short Illness; Funeral Today at 10.

The death of Miss Daisy Cheney, second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alvin D. Cheney, occurred Friday morning at 7 o'clock at the home of her parents on First Avenue. The death was an unusually sad one. Just a week ago she came home from Athens, where she had been attending the State Normal School. She was [illegible] and an operation was found necessary, Yet in spite of all the best medical attention and the nursing of fond parents could accomplish, she failed to rally, and her spirit took its flight.
Though only 17 years of age, she had attracted a large number of friends by her magnetic personality and many accomplishements. This was attested, not only by those in Rome, but by the many messages of condolence received on yesterday from her school friends in Athens. Even at so early an age, evidences of unusual intellectuality had already developed themselves giving promise of many bright hopes of future accomplishement.
She is sirvived by her mother and father, one sister, Miss Louise, and one brother, Jeanne. Her only other relative in Rome is a cousin, Mrs. Sproull Fouche.
Many beautiful floral offerings betoken the esteem in which she was held by her friends, and the close affection of those nearest and dearest. The funeral will occur at 10 o'clock this morning from the residence, the services being conducted by the Rev. Geo. F. Cuthrell, pastor of he Christian church, and Dr. R.B. Headden. The following are the pallbearers: Walter S. Cothran, H.A. Dean, M.B. McWilliams, Sproull Fouche, A.D. Hull and E.B. Barclay. The interment will be in Myrtle Hill cemetery.
