MISS EMILY WHITE

1t is with a sad heart and fearful eye,
that pen this trioute to the memory OF
a beloved pupil and friend, MISS EMILY
WHITE, daughter of Mr.. Alfred W blte,
vicinity of Pulaski, Tenn. :.
/ knew her well, l loved her much,
grieve that she is gone. Richly endow-
ell by nature with all those gentle graces
which adorn womanhood, she added
that browning virtue, religion. She was
converted in 1873, was baptized by Kew
w. II. Hughes, and Joined the Methodist
church in Pulaski, of which he as at
that time pastor.
Her religion was beautifully devel-
oped, and happily illustrated in her home
life. The Oldest of large and Interest,"
ing family, she performed 10 perfection
the delicare duties growing ont of that
relation. OF good Judgment, refined
taste and overlooking sympathy, father,
mother, brothers and sisters turned to
her for counsel and affection. Her say
| ings are tenderly cherished in their
! faithful minds, and mourning memory
will hold them as a sacred trust.
4 recall with peculiar emotion the last
day spent in her society. A few weeks
before, we had buried in Pulaski, our
devoted daughter, Blanche, of whom
| Emily was very fond. So soon as she
/ heard that we were in town she came 10
us, and sought to soften the bitterness
/ of bereavement. She appointed a day
when we must visit her at home, ''Ior all
will be so glad to see you" We went,
and came away feeling that il was good
/ to be there.
Alter dinner, she called her brothers
and sisters into the parlor, and led them
/ in singing. The songs selected were
70 h.. . hn al
remind of that home where sorrow il
unknown.
: The last piece, and how often it has
blessed me since, WAS,
| "Kindly remembered, swee,ly remembered,
Forever remembered -
Remembered by ickat IAGre done"
1t returns to me with sweet significance
now that she, too, has become an object
of Memory.
| And shall il not be so? The ''works
which traced her to the skiesp for pat
terms to ourselves well take, and kindly,
sweetly remember her, ill we rejoin her
in her heavenly home.
Her last sickness was sudden and
strange. She was delirious until the
evening before she died. Then all the
clouds cleared and she recognized her
| friends on earth, and in Heaven-said
| but felC of them had gone before her,
| but Grandma and Blanche Mooney
would meet her at the gatel All, my
glorified friend, that saying has brought
comfort to my heart, for | believe that
across the river you and our cherished
child have renewed the companionship
| begun below.
| She called her brother to ner bedside,
babe him ''goOd bye" and reminded him
of their reunion in Heaven. Relatives,
friends and physicians were thanked for
their kind attentions.
On Tuesday, April 18th, Just as the
day dawned, she passed away. The dy-
ing eye as it looked farewell, bedmed out
from the valley, as if it had caught n
glimpse of the Golden Gate! Softly the
shadows of life melted into the light of
eternity!
Stricken friends, let us fondly think
of the past, joyfully anticipate the flu
ture, and with cheerfulness of Christian
Faith endeayor to say,
at is we'll
Gods ways nrs always right,
And love is DER them all"
MRS. SUE. F. MOONEY.
