Wife Of Athens Police Chief Dies Last Wednesday
----------

Mrs. J. I. Wofford, 54, wife of Chief of Police of Athens, and long time resident of that city died suddenly at the family home in Athens at 6:30 o'clock Wednesday afternoon.

Mrs. Wofford had been in bad health for some time, but was able to be up and about the house and prepared dinner at the noon hour Wednesday. When her husband returned home about 5 o'clock he found her lying on the floor unconscious. She had suffered a sinking spell from high blood pressure and evidently had been in a state of unconsciousness for some time. The family physician was hurriedly summoned, but she passed away in a shout time.

Funeral services were held from the family home at 4 o'clock Thursday afternoon, with the Rev. M. L. Fuller officiating. Interment immediately followed in the Athens city cemetery.
