-EDMIsToS-Mrs Eta Edmiston, wife
Of ID. b. Edmiston, after months OF suffer-
ing, il at rest. The messenger Of death 10
long expected came on Friday night last,
and the frail mortal put on Immortality.
Mrs. Edmision was the eldest daughter Of
DR.. J. b. s. and Harriet L. Frisbie, and
was born February oath, 1856, in Month
cello, this State. Near the age Of 10, she
professed religion, and joining the Christian
Church, she fought the good fight, she
kept the faith, and henceforth a crown Of
glory is her inheritance. A few short years
ago, she stood happy bride by the side Of
him, who crushed in spirit and bleeding at
heart, followed her TO the open grave on
Sunday, and saw the cruel earth shut from
his earthly view the wife Of his bosom and
the mother Of his two little children. God
pity them in their loss, and may they and
her parents and sister find consolation in
the assurance that she is watching and
waiting" for them in land that is fairer
than day. Her relative, Ed. Milton Eli
Oft, delivered very appropriate sermon
over the remains, which were followed by
a long cortege of weeping friends to her
last resting place in the Crab Orchard
Cemetery.
CONTAMINATION Of the saddest cases,
that has ever come under our observation
is that Of Miss Bette b. Carpenter, whose
remains were yesterday laid away in Buff
falo Cemetery. Young, attractive and po-
sessed of an unusually bright mind, no one
seemed destined few year, ago to live q
long and happy life as she. But unceasing
attendance at the bedside Of her dying faith
er and the subsequent over-taIing Of her
mind and body in a college in North Caro-
lima, in which she taught, undermined her
health and the mind so vigorous and culti-
waited grew clouded and disordered, and
few months ago, her confinement in the
Asylum at Lexington became necessary.
Experiencing frequent lucid intervals and
exhibiting signs Of improvement, she was
brought home during last Summer and her
family hoped and prayed for the full resto-
ration Of her reason. The hope was vain
however. and she had to be returned. She
was subject 10 fits Of the most intense mel
oncholy and il is said that for several weeks
before her death. that the disease was unu-
sually acute. She frequently begged for
something with which TO end her lite and
on Friday night Last she succeeded by tying
together strips Of a bodice that she wore, in
making a rope, one end OF which she tied
ntouhu hci hcce huu lorNchuik Nuo SNuoi
end in the top Of the window-biind, she
stepped from the sill, and in few moments
her tired, restless spirit WAS Al rest. The
remains were brought home for in terment
and as she lay in her coffin at her mothers
on Sunday, many friends gazed upon the
beautiful yOung face, more beautiful In
dsath, wreathed M Il was in pleasant
smile. and dropped a tear Of sorrow at the
sad fate OF her whom they had 40 much
loved in life. At an early age she united
herself with the Christian Church, but for
the last ten years, she has held her mem
bership with the Methodist Church and a
more faithful, earnest and devoted member
never lived. Her place in the church, at
Sunday school, at prayer-meeting and al
the sick bedside, was always filled and she
was in truth loved by all who knew her
Her late pastor. Rev. j. S Sins, Was tele-
graphed for 10 preach the funeral sermon |,
but he could not arrive in time and Rev
II. 9. Morrison was substituted. His die
course was a peculiarly impressive and AZ
fecting one but the effect Of the hymns
was marred by the substitution Of new
music for the old familiar tunes that seem
30 well fitted for such occasions. There was
a large attendance at the funeral and many
a fearful eye told the tale Of sorrow and
sympathy they had for the grief-stricken
mother, sisters and brothers In their terri
BILE bereavment. May the God Of oonsola-
tion temper their hearts TO believe that lie
dOeth all things we'll.
