unwelcome, uninvited guest to
every household, and the cold sym.
patty Of humanity is extendedand
embtuced in the remark, "Tis bet
ter so." Times there are when the
dread King works irrepsrable harm,
shen his visitation sets the zeal Of
fearful silence upon the lips Of
those who would comfort; when
with his departure the sunshine
goes out from hitherto happy
family, never to return again save
in soflened beams reminiscent Of
the loss no words Of sympathy can
candolo, no earthly presence atone
for. Such Is the loss experienced
in the death on Wednesday last, at
her residence 10 this city, Of Mrs.
Ann VIM Jones, nee Yates, who
was born in Culpepper county, vir'
GINA, on the 9th day of June, 1897,
and vas consequently in the seth
year Of her age at the time Of her
demise. She was married to the
late Joseph Jones, in the county Of
her birth, on the 22nd day Of De.
cember, 1915. Together with her
husband and family, she removed
to this countyin the year 1885, and
settled upon the farm upon which
w. A. Long now resides on the
Kanawha, arriving there in the
month Of April Of that year, and
she has had a continuance resi-.
dence IL this county from that time
until the day Of her death. Her
husband died in this city on the
10th day Of June, 1859, in the list
year Of his age, By her death, the
last pensioner Of the war Of 1872
is removed from this county.
Az the time of their arrival in
the Kanawha Valley, it vas almost
a primeval wilderness, and was
considered by persons residing East
of the Blue Ridge, as beyond the
confines Of civilization. A pioneer
life in the swamps that then GOV,
cred the best land along the Kan
awha, was not one of ease or lux.
ury, but being a help.meet to her
husband, both in truth and in fact,
she bent all her energies 10 his
prosperity and the welfare Of her
young and growing family. How
we'll she performed this arduous
task, her life and good deeds will
attest, For more than fifty years,
she was a member Of the Baptist
Church, which she adorned with
her daily walk and many christian
virtues. Kind, tender and true,
with sympathetic heart ever
ready to respond to the appeals and
sorrows Of others, and with an I'm.
waveriug belief in the merits of
her Saviour, she died us she lived.
In the winter of 1879, she received
a fall, dislocating her hip, by which
she was incapacitated from ever
walking again, yet she was cheer.
full, even happy amid this alilic.
ton. After years Of toll, ylCissi
tudes and many responsibilities as
u widow and the head of n numer.
Gus family, which were assumed
and performed without murmuring,
she folded her tired hands across
her breast, and sank into that
everlasting and eternal slumber,
without pain and without replning.
She passed through the "Sunless
valley Of the shadow Of death, +"
without fear, leaning upon His rod
and staff. After lifes' flful fever,
she is ASLEEP in JeSus Blessed
sleepl" She was buried from her
late residence on Nain street, on
