DEATH OF AN EsTIMABLE I.ADY.-Died
of consumption, on the morning of the 18th
inst, at the residence of her husband, Gent
J. R. Jones, in Harrisonburg, Mrs. Lou
Jones, daughter of Col. Thomas D. Bashear,
decd, of Frederick county, Nd, aged 46
years.
Thus has passed away one of the most es-
Unable christian ladies we have ever known.
The subject of protracted disease and suffer-
ing most painful, she bore her affliction with
that fortitude and patience which could alone
emanate from Divine grace. No murmur or
complaint eyer escaped her lips. Gentle,
loving, trusting, she chung to the cross as her
refuge and support, and the sweet, radiant
smile that ever played over her face told the
story OF the peace within. although the body
was rackcd and agonized with pain. She COM
bned in her person the graces and virtues
which adorn and beautfy female character,
and rounded out native loneliness of dis
position with the browning attraction of
christian meekness and submission. Her faith
was ever bright and steadfast, appropriating
herself the efficacy of the Great Sacrifice, and
drawing consolation and comfort from the
rich assurances which are given unto the
true believer. At the home-hearth, in the
social circle, in the church, she was a ray Of
sunshine, ever cheering and making glad.
We drop the tribute of an unaffected tear
over the grave of this lovely, loving lady.
whose beautiful life on earth was only the
type of that rich and immeasurable Joy into
which her gentle spirit has passed.. And to
her grief-stricken husband and friends we
tender our siEcerest sympathy.
