OBITUARY..


Miss Bell Wimple, adopted daught-
er of Mr.. A. NJ, and Mrs. S. f. VIM
pie, Of Perry, was born Sept. S, 1858,
died on Saturday morning, 18th day
of Nov, aged 81 years months and
10 days.
For IL years past, she has been
the subject Of affliction, which tended
to confine her to her home a great
share of the time.
Her sickness was Of that nature
which neither the salubrious climate
of Florida, nor the skill of the ply
sicianS could arrest.
Often, during these years of suf.
fering, has she been brought very
near the grave, and more than once
her friends believed her to be eros
sing the cold sire I'm, but after awhile,
contrary to all expectation, would
rally again.
About two weeks ago, she was taken
down, and this proved her last at
tack.
Her suffering during these two
weeks was very great, but she bore
it patiently. Often cid she pray for
submission to the Divine will, and
long for the dear Saviour to come
and bear her away from suffering, to
life and rest.
Her christian experience is best
told in the following lines, which she
often quoted:
Nearer is my souls salvation,
Spent the night, tho days at hand,
Keep me III my lowly station,
Watching for thee till stand,
o my Saviour
In tky bright and promised land,
With my lamp well trimmed and burn
ing,
Swift to hear, and slow to roam,
Watching for thy glad returning,
To restore me to thy home.
Come my Saviour,
o my Saviour quickly come.
From what we know Of her, we
cannot doubt but she will share in
"rhe resurrection of the Just"
On Monday, Nov. 18th, her NOR
tai remains were laid away in the
grave, to await her Makers call. A
large congregation attended her fun
eral, Rev. James Verney, of Vernon,
officiated. CON-.
