ELIZABETH CASHIN KING The Augusta Chronicle Sunday, February 6, 1938 EMINENT WOMAN TAKEN BY DEATH Mrs. Elizabeth Cashin King Passes After Long Illness Mrs. Elizabeth Cashin King, 86, wife of the late Henry Barclay King, died at her residence, “Sand Hills,” on the Kissing Bower road, yesterday morning at 3:30 o’clock after an extended illness. Funeral services will be conducted at the graveside in Summerville cemetery this afternoon at 3:30 o’clock, Rev. John E. Hines officiating. Pallbearers will be Dr. John A. Selden, Karl W. Selden, James M. Selden, Hogan E. Dunaway, Dr. W. J. Cranston, Albert Lehmann, Lansing B. Lee and R. Emil Barinowski. Mrs. King was born in Augusta, the daughter of Oswald [sic] Cashin and Mrs. Josephine Thomas Cashin, and spent practically her entire life here. She was one of the most active members and workers in St. Paul’s Episcopal church, and here, as elsewhere, displayed her charm and charitable nature. During early life, she had become interested in charitable movements in the city. For many years she headed the “Sheltering Arms,” first day-nursery in Augusta for mothers who were employed. She was one of the first directors of the West End Free Library association, and she often gave of her time and money to the Children’s hospital, the Y. W. C. A., and other community organizations. She kept her interest in such organizations until the death of her only son, Pendleton, who died in attempting to save a drowning person. She then retired from many of her early activities, but continued in her efforts and work for the World War veterans and the affairs of Camp Pendleton, a memorial to her son. She was a woman of strong and loyal friendships, and could be counted on at any time to render aid or comfort to those whom she considered members of her intimate circle of friends. In her home life, she was a gracious and hospitable hostess, and both young and old enjoyed their visits and entertainments which she gave. Survivors are seven nieces and nephews, Dr. John A. Selden, Karl W. Selden, James M. Selden, Mrs. J. M. Selden, Mrs. Albert Lehmann, Mrs. R. F. Hall and Mrs. Bertha Cashin; and three grandnieces. ====================================================================== TRANSCRIBER NOTE The father of Mrs. King was Oswell Cashin NOT Oswald.
