Near BrUokbavcn, Miss, oil Wednesday
morning, at ; o'clock, March Path, 1886,
MOLLIE V. ROBERTSON, wife Of A. q. Rob
ertson, daughter Of Z. Henry aud sister of
X. H., T. ~, w. A., Annie L., aud Pattie
Henry.
Sister Mollie is dead 1t is 10 hard Ia
realize the awful truth, and yet We know
that pure, kind, frank, generous Mollie
has gone from the scenes of earth aud
passed into the Great Beyond. Her death
WAS sudden. Only few minutes before
the sad event, she was apparently in
good health. A blood vessel in her head
burst, the cord of life was snapped, and
in an instant the soul left the body and
winged its.'lf to Heavens chancery--went
10 inin that of the sainted mother who
fourteen years ago answered the sum
mons that all flesh must sooner or later
answer She was in the bloom of yonng
womanhOOd, having inst entered upon
her 18th year. She leaves two little chill
dren, one two years old, the other three
months, to feel the want of mothers
devotion, care and attention a loving
husband deeply mourns the loss of one Of
the trnest and best wives man ever had (;
q father, who watched over her from in
fancy to wOmanhood, weeps that his
daughter will greet him here no more !;
brothers and sisters are grieved that they
will never again on earth hear the kind
voice and see the noble face of their sis
ter, and her many relatives and cOnncc-
tions will drop tears to her memory and
worth.
In all the relations of life Mollie was
true. Asa daughter she was obedient !;
as sister, kind and affectiOnate; as u
wife, loving and devoted as a mother,
fond, watchful, sympathetic, 1t is hard
to understand why she was called hence,
nor can we understand it, but when we
reflect that could we do 50, we would be
gifted with divine wisdom, which mOrtals
do not possess, we how in humble submis-
son to the will of Him who doeth all
things well-whose judgments are I'M
searchable and His ways past finding out.
She has
leone to that blessed home
Beyond this land of woe,
Where trials never come,
Nor tears of sorrow flow
Where faith is lost in sight,
And patient hope is crowned,
And everlasting light
Its glory throws around"
Az HtT HA'H0't
in the 18th year of her age, Mrs MARY
JAYNE BAkDwELI, wife of Carroll Bard
WELL departed this life for realms OF eter-
nal bliss beyond this vale of tears.
Two years previous to her death,
"Aunt Mary" as she was Familiarity call
ed by those who knew her, prOfessed
faith in Christ, and was baptized into the
fellowship of Union Hall Baptist church.
She never seemed 10 grow weary in we'll
doing, but always appeared to realize the
blessed truth of the Masters saying, MY
yoke is easy, and my burden is light"
Her death was caused from heart dis
ease, but for many years she suffered from
yet, so unwaVering was her
faith, with christian fOrtitude, and
spirit of resignation she bore it all, and
until her very last moments, with her
heavenly home in view, she could look up
and bless the hand that had afflicted her.
Two of Mrs. b. children had trOd the
shadowy path of death before her, one of
whom preceded her only n few days; three
children and devoted husband yet re-
main to mourn her loss. May God grant
us the happy privilege of meeting her in
heaven with family unbrOken is the
prayer Of her
PASTOR.
