jectof this sketch born. She left to the
of her Aunt Sarah McMillen, aferward she lived with
her sister Ruth wife of the late John Cheringon OF
Evergreen, with whom the most of her early life
spent.
| August ), 1927, she married to George Ewing.
She became member of the Christian Baptist Church
at age By of the dissolution of
the society in her neighborhood she united with the
NJ E. Church about the year 1885, She was one of the
members the class organized in her own house,
which afterwards became known as the Ewington
Glass, and is still known by that name The class was
organized by Isaac Cassel local preacher, at that
time residing at Wilkesville and whose name will
remain associated with the early days of Metho-
dism in this and surrounding counties.
Her home remained the place of worship for the
class for many years. There preaching, prayer and
class meetings statedly held until the church
was erected in 1852 Not only was her home thus ded-
icaed place of worship, but there the itinerant
Gas many yet living testify made well
come guest.
| Whatever Methodism has been power for good
in this community is due much to her Cody life and
Christian infuence. Her counsel always eagerly
sought by young and old She was the friend of all
loved by ALL She positive Just and merciul.
Many poor forsaken heart testify how charity
did abound in all the life that she lived. She knew by
experience what the worlds trials and SORROWS are,
for their darts pierced her. but with the shield of
faith she warded off all their blows and enabled
wital to stand. Not only her life always beyond
reproach but of her it be said strength and
honor are her clothing. 4 = She openeth her
mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of
kindness. Her children rise up and call her blessed;
her husband also, and he praiseth her.
The later years of her life though overshadowed by
the inrmites OF age were years of great peace and
unceasing trust. The quiet of evening brooded
her SOUL but into it the brightness of the MONDAY
shone. Realizing that the silver cord was loosening,
and that the golden bowl would be broken, she
often said to her friends Il only wating AS the
hour of ofdissoutiOn drew nigh, she said: what
ginning! Where shall begin? How.good the Lord
is! have suffered much but the good Lord is help
ing through
Then after pause, and with a light suffusing her
face that seemed not of earth she exclaimed, Il
not preach' and relapsed into quiet with a sermon
in her heart that might pass the barrier of her
cold lips. Those who ever knew how powerfully and
eloquently she pleaded with God in prayer how
earnestly and lovingly with men in exhortation may
have faint conception of that sermon that might
never find utterance save in heaven. Evidently her
days ended in great peace.
She retained her confidence the last, and mani
tested the deepest soiciude for all her friends. Meet
me in the Better World" often her lips long
she could converse with them. Having patiently
suffered the will of the Master she fell asleep.
Asleep in Jesus! Blessed sleep
From which none wakes to weep.

Willie thou vast mild and lovely,
Gentle as the summer breeze,
Pleasant the air of evening
When it floats among the trees.
Dearest Willie, thou hast left us,
Here thy loss we deeply feel
But it's God that hath bereft us,
He can all our sorrows heal.

When the day of life has fled,
Then in Heaven hope to meet thee,
Where no funereal tear is she'd"
