Parnassus Letter.
Correspondence of the SPECTATOR
August 16, 1885.
On Monday morning of last week, at the
residence of her parents, Mr.. Valentine and
Mrs. Mary Ann Hupman, Miss Mamie Eliz-
abeth died, in the 23rd year of her age. The
fatal disease was that most insidious enemy
of the human kind-consumption. On
Tuesday, the 18th inst. her funeral was
preached at Union Presbyterian Church to
a large assemblsge of tho relatives and
friends, who came to pay the last sad trib-
ute of respect to the memory of the de-
ceased. Rev. R. NJ. Tuttle, her pastor, con-
Quoted the services, preaching from the
text, CHOW, no Christening for the present
seemeth to be joyous, but grievous; never
theless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable
fruit of righteousness unto them which are
exercised thereby" 1t was sermon rich
in consolation for the hearts so sorely tried,
and made deep impression on the large
audience. After the services at the church
were over the remains were taken to the
cemetery, and after the reading of the buri-
al service by Rev. II. A. Gaver, of the M.
E. Church, South, were laid away in their
final resting place. The following young
gentlemen acted as pall-bearers
Messrs. 8. N. and Robt. r. Kiracofe, w.
D. Hamrick, Frank Gaver, Henderson FL
lott and John S. Byers.
The many friends of Mrs. Jennie Perrow,
nee Burgess, we're shocked and panied to
hear of her death, which occurred recently
OF ho rocs1opoo Of hor h,1chand nr RI n
Perrow, at Lovingston, Nelson co. The de-
ceased was q native of this village, where
she spent her childhood and youth, and
where she was married.
But q few short months ago she was sum-
moned to the bedside of her tenderly love
sister, Mrs. VIM. T. Wright, of this place,
who shortly after her arrival passed through
the portals of death to a happier and better
world.
Mrs. Perrow was then apparently enjoy
ing good health. In a short time after her
return she developed a tendency to con-
sumption, and the rapid and distressing
ravages of that merciless disease had be-
come only too apparent to those who loved
and cherished her.
She was a devoted member of the M. E.
Church, South, beloved by all, and those
who knew her best loved her most.
