Mrs Bachman was always active in philanthropic and charitable work of this community. She was one of the most devoted workers in the trying times following the War Between the Sections. For years she was the treasurer of the Ladies' Benevolent Society for Orphan Children. She took a very active interest in the Audubon Society, being especially valuable to the organization in its earlier days.

She was, until Failing health required her withdrawal from active membership, a State officer of the United Daughters of the Confederacy.

Mrs Bachman was a talented artist, having taken many prizes with her paintings wherever they were exhibited.

The interment will take place today at noon in Trinity churchyard, the church of which Mrs Bachman was a faithful and devoted member for more than a half a century.
