ALEXANDER CEMETERY,  MAURY COUNTY TENNESSEE

ROUNTREE, Lillie O., 28 Aug 1872 - 29 Jul 1900

Miss Lillie Rountree, daughter of Mr. Charles Rountree, died Sunday morning at the home of her father near Carters Creek. The circumstances surrounding her death were of a peculiarly sad nature. She appeared in her usual good health Saturday, and that evening ate a few bites of ice cream for supper. A short time afterwards she was thrown into convulsions and died from the rupture of a blood vessel. Deceased was a highly esteemed young lady, and her death brought sorrow to the hearts of many. The funeral services took place Monday morning at 10 o'clock at Beach Grove church, and the interment was in the Lockridge graveyard. -- Columbia Herald, 3 Aug 1900.
