Without sounding trumpet before MN
or descending in any wise, he was kind
generous and noble-hearted.
Polite and affable with all whom he had
intercourse; honest, correct and upright
in all his transactions with his fellow-man
Yet, owing to the false glare Of the world
and the morbid appetite Of society, these
virtues were overlooked or but dimly seen
by the masses, and only observed by those
who can, and do appreciate and award to
virtue, its true merit when divested Of Its
gaudy plumage. But doubtless these no
bic qualities received their adorning BY the
light of revelation, and the religion Of the

She was married to Maj. E. B. Mason, Feb

moved to Madison county, and settled at
Nason's Grove. She was one of the Pho
neers of West Tennessee, and has seen the
county of her adoption grow up out Of
wilderness to become a flourishing and
prosperous country. Her house was the
resting place for the pioneers, Ministers of
the gospel and the weary travellers, who
always received from her hands that old
hospitality which is described as
peculiar to Virginians. She was the moth
er Of seven children, six sens and one
four of them having preceded
her to-the spirit lana, leaving her kind and
husband, her oldest and youngest
sons, and her daughter to mourn her loss;
but thank God they do not doubt that she
is better of, and they will again see her in
heaven, where parting will be no more
No lady was more respected in the circle of
her acquaintance than she was. Her funer-

taken from the old family mansion. Her
remains were then followed to the family

which she had so long resided, to the toll
ing of the church bells, and there solemnly
committed to the silent grave, there to re-
main till God shall bid her rise.
A FRIEND.
