Died, at Tanning, the 10th inst, Mrs. A. N. Ed
wards. In chronicng her death, desire to append
few lines, a tribute to her memory. Not that she
will be forgotten, but that the living may read lines
of respect and esteem in which sine held by friends
and neighbors around her. Mrs. Edwards was born
in Houston County, Georgia, the 18th day of JAN
uary, 1888, and was therefore 46 years of age She
was lady of rare culture, and the walk of a true
and pure Christian characterized her life. She leaves
1, husband and four children, who may well mourn
her departure. We trust they can and will drink
consolation from the following lines:
Mother, thou vast mild and lovely,
Gentle rs the Summer breeze;
Peaceful. the air Of evening,
As it floats among the trees.
Mother, thou hast gone and left
Here thy loss we deeply feel;
But It's God who ha tn bereft us.
And can all our sorrows heal
The stay of Mrs. Edwards at Tanning was short,
but her exemplary ways made her many friends, all
of whom will miss her in social life.
To Uncle Tom and children, we can but say, you
have the sympathy Of neighbors, one and all.
