FORMER AGED ROANOKE WOMAN BURIED JAN. 17th

The remains of Mrs. Stanmore H. Carlisle arrived in Roanoke on the 1:19 train from Birmingham Saturday afternoon, she having died the 15th at the home of her daughter Mrs. M. W. J. Young in Louisville, Ky., after a long period of declining health. The body was carried to the residence of Mr. and Mrs. M. W. Carlisle, where funeral services were conducted at three in the afternoon by Dr. Hines in the presence of a gathering of friends and neighbors of the family. Interment followed in the family lot in the public cemetery.

Mrs. Carlisle, with her husband, was a long time resident of Chambers and Randolph counties, being widely known as members of one of the prominent families of east Alabama. Her husband died fifteen years ago. A few years later Mrs. Carlisle left Roanoke to make her home with her daughter in Louisville. Her eyesight failed and the last two years were spent in total blindness. In all her afflictions, she was tenderly cared for, insomuch that when the end came the faithful daughter who had attended her was unable to make the trip to the old home where her mother's body was laid to rest.

Death came to Mrs. Carlisle at the advanced age of 79 years and five months. She was a member of the Baptist church from early life. She is survived by her six children, Mrs. S.C. Burpee of LaGrange, Mrs. M. W. J. Young of Louisville, M. B. Carlisle of Roanoke, Ernest Carlisle of Griffin, Ga., and Charles and Holstun Carlisle of Atlanta. All were present at the funeral except Mrs. Young who was represented by her husband.
