Muse conducting the funeral services, Our sympathy is extended the bereaved family. Weimar Mercury, April 27, 1901, page 2 It is with much sorrow we chronicle the death of Mrs. J. P. Mayes, which sad event occurred at the old homestead about three miles north of Oakland on April 23, 1901. She was Miss Eliza Fowlkes before her marriage in 1860 to her husband, Mr. J. P.

Mrs. Eliza Mayes was born, July 7th, 1841, in what is now Fayette county,Texas, being at her death upwards of 60 years of age. She was a member of the Baptist church for 43 years, joining that denomination under the pastorate of the well remembered Dr. Covey, an able minister of that church. It aught could be said that would bring healing balm and relief to her distressed husband, children, friends and relatives we would gladly contribute that, but in instances like this, words are worse than vain. We can only extend our sympathy and assure those bereaved that a common public mourns with them. Weimar Mercury, April 27, 1901, page 2
