"MRS REDDING DEAD. Mrs. Ellen Hawkins Redding, widow of Mr. William Redding, 
died at her home in South Glasgow late Tuesday afternoon following a prolonged 
illness from a complication of diseases.

"Since January, Mrs. Redding had been confined to her bed and her death was not 
unexpected. She as seventy-four years of age, being born in Elizabethtown in 
1842. As Miss Ellen Hawkins, of Elizabethtown, she was married to Mr. William 
Redding, of this place in 1859, and then came to Glasgow as a bride and has 
resided here ever since. She was one of the oldest citizens of the town and 
could interestingly and entertainingly relate the bygone days.

"The deceased was a woman admired and beloved for many exceptional traits of 
character and for her sweet simplicity and genuine sincerity. Quiet, reserved 
and very retiring, she shrank from the pomp and show of the world, but spent 
her life untiringly and devotedly for her children and those around her own 
hearthstone. She was as true and as noble a mother and as tender and 
syumpathizing a woman as ever lived. For many years she had been a devout and 
consecrated member of the Baptist Church. Surviving are her seven children: 
Mrs. B. P. Saunders, Mrs. J. A. Bailey, Mrs. Gus Morris, Mrs. W. M. Wilson, 
Miss Maud Redding, Mr. Porter Redding, and Mr. John Redding, all of this place. 
Also two sisters survive here, Mrs. Letitia Matthews, of Elizabethtown, and 
Mrs. Jennie Burch, of Louisville.

"Rev. I. D. S. Knight conducted the funeral service at the family residence 
yesterday morning at 10 o'clock, after which the remains were interred in the 
cemetery here."
