Pleasant Flats, on the Sth inst, Mrs
Rhoda Windon, consort of Joseph
Windon, Jr., in her 3Sd year. She
leaves fond husband and four young
children, besides many relatives and
friends to mourn her loss. She is
gone from our midst; we shall miss
her hearty welcome and fond greet
ing, when entering the hospitable
home, to which her genial manner
lent its charm. Her husband and
her children will feel the loss more
poignantly than we. But in this
bereavement, there Is comfort in the
fact-that "she win rise again in the
resurrection of the last day" when
that frail body which was laid away
Saturday amidst the tears of so ma
ny kind and loving friends that stood
around her open grave on that balmy
spring day, will be given back to US,
clothed not in the habiliments of the
tomb, but with the glory of the re-.
direction BODY. She died, leaning.
byfaith, upon the strong arm Of Him
who robbed death Of its sting and
the grave Of its victory. She was a
member of the Pleasant Flats
Church, Presbytery of .Greenbrier.-
Her funeral was preached and her
body consigned to the grave, by her
Pastor, the day after her death.
'Tis blest to slumber in the Lord g
- The body still to Jesus bound;
It's blcst, to rest upon His word
That word which says such shall be
crowned.
Sleep on, VIC would not call thee back,
Nor bind again, alllictiOn's chain
OF suffering thou hast had no lack,
Frail Observation-Disclosures 1t reign.
And when He comes, to whom thou'rt
gone.
Our bodies, sltunberiug like thine own
That like thine own may wear crown.
BY faith, will bind last to His throne.
