The Pike County Journal. Zebulon, Pike Co., Ga., Friday, September 15, 1893 A Sad Death Miss Nannie Willis of Molena died very suddenly last Saturday at 6 oclock p.m. She was on the way to the home of her cousin, Mrs. L.W. Godard and seeing that she was likely to get wet ran a short distance to the house. Before she reached the door, the rain began to fall and she was sprinkled pretty thoroughly. She fell on the front doorstep exhausted and was carried into the house where she died within thirty minutes of congestion of the heart and stomach. Miss Willis was a sister of Mrs. J.T. Moore of this place, Mrs. H.G. Jordan of Molena and Mrs. M.K. Jordan. Miss Willis was forty-five years of age and her innate goodness of heart impressed itself upon all with whom she was associated. Her remains were interred at the Jordan burying ground near Molena last Monday, Rev. J.W. Beck conducting the funeral.
