Mrs. Virgie Forman McAfee died at
her home here Sunday of uremic
poison complicated with influenza
and pneumonia. For several days her
condition was such that her family
and friends feared the worst. Her
death is one that we find hard to
understand, just in the prime of life
in her forty second year, a young son
that needs a mother’s care, her home
and many ties of church and
friendship and yet, all must give her
up and trust the Savior as she so
calmly in her last hours so
triumphantly testified.
She leaves her husband, E. T.
McAfee, local Funeral Director, one
son, James Vernon, two brothers,
Tom Forman of Fern Creek and
James Forman of Louisville, four
sisters, Mrs. Carrie Carrithers and
Mrs. Pearl Vincent of Louisville,
Mrs. Kate Ellingsworth and Mrs.
Bettie Clark of Fern Creek.
