The two articles below are about the death of and funeral rites for my paternal great-great grandmother, Margaret Ida Spain Briggs Henderson.
Ida, the youngest of eight children, was born to Dr. William Thomas Whitaker Briggs and Margaret Susan Spain Briggs at Cypress Plantation in Clarendon County, South Carolina, on 14 March 1863. In 1886, she married Dr. James Rutledge Henderson in South Carolina, and they had six children together (three boys and three girls). In addition to being a devoted daughter, sister, wife, and mother, Mrs. Henderson was a successful, published journalist and writer, as well as an active member in the Daughters of the American Revolution. Ida passed away on 21 March 1938 in Charlotte, Mecklenburg, North Carolina, at the age of 75.
