TERRELL, TEX, April 2s.--Yester-
day evening at o'clock the remains
of Mrs. $. g. Fisher, the wife OF the
pastor of the First Presbyterian
church, were borne to their last earthly
resting place by large concourse OF
sorrowful friends.
Rev. Mr.. Fisher came TO this place
several years ago with his family, as o
missionary. He, with the deceased,
labored faithfully and zealously, and
she lived to see as the result OF their
united labors afiourishing church, self
supporting, and her husband
more than year past Installed per-
manent pastor. Hers was a true,
lovely Christian character, and her
work was not confined TO her own
church, but she was FOUND
wherever unselhsh Christian work
could be done. There IL not
only father and mother, husband
and little children, brothers and Sis
tiers, and a church TO mourn her loss,
but an entire city would mingle hei
tears with theirs.
Surely her works will follow her.
The church was crowded. The ser.
vices were opened by the reading OF
O passage OF scripture by the Rev. Mr..
p jrtmess, pastor OF the Episcopaiiar
church; solemn end earnest prayer
by NJ ii. Nelly, pastor OF the Meth
odist church; q feeling and pathetic
address by DIR. Dodge, pastol
OF the BAPTIST church, from
Isaaih As, 10; prayer by Eide
Pinkerton, pastor OF the Christian
church. and the benediction by Rev
J. II. Hendrick OF the Cumberland
