> And bright in heavens jeweIcd crown.
They shine forever more"
AS the shadows of this the third day
since she breathed out her life, and since
her spirit began its abode in the city of
the New Jerusalem, the mortal remains
of Mrs. Emma A. Lockhart found a last
resting place in our cemetery.
At the residence the beautiful caskct
was almost hidden from sight by choicest
flowers, arranged in beautiful designs,
sent by friends anxious to pay the last
tribute to ler memory. How appropriate
that the faircst of carth's ornaments
should commemorate life so pure!
The church was heavily draped. In
the Vestibule, as you entered, was hung
large sable curtain with the words "At
Rest" in letters Of white on it, The altar
rail, at which size had so fervently and so
frequently knelt, the Pulpit, from which
she had so often heard the word, and all
the surroundings wore the clothing of
mourning.
The recess in the rear of the pulpit
was draped with a large sable curtain
which partially hid from view the grand
organ within it. Nestled close by were
waving palms, symbolic of victory won.
Over each entrance the black drapery
told too plainly for what purpose loving
hands placed it there.
At 3 o'clock the long procession moved
from the residence and wended its way
to Trinity church.
The body bearers were: Messrs A. X.
Umstead, T. L. Peay, W. W. Fuller, C.
b. Green, S. F. Morgan, r. C. Burton L.
b. Henderson and J. Ed Lyon.
The pail bearers were: Messrs. James
Southgate, Alexander Walker, Leo d.
Heartt, George w. Watts, S. F. Tomln-
son, J. r. Blacknall, W. L. Wall, J. L.
Watkins, II. A. Rcams, Lucius Green, NJ.
A Angler and w. A. Slater.
The'ushers at the church were: Messrs
r. B. Fuller, w. S. Halliburton, L. M.
Wahab and w. w. Shaw
To the low, muffled notes of Mendel
sshon's funeral march the procession
moved slowly up the aisle.
The services then opened with a solo,
"Flee as a bird" by Mrs. Tom Jones,
who rendered it with peculiar power and
sweetness.
The familiar and appropriate hymn,
"Nearer My God to Thee" was then sung
by the choir, and was followed by
prayer from Mr.. Greasy
FL
Country by Mrs. Tom Jones, with
chorus by choir.
Then followed a reading selection by
Rev. II. J. Moorman from the Goth Psalm,
of Paul's letter to the Corinthians COM
mencng at the 2lst verse.
"Gathering Home" by the choir was
next sung, Immediately after which Mr..
Greasy rose and announced as his text
the familiar but grand and deathless pas
sage, "I am the resurrection and the life"
From these words, so precious to the
believers heart, he preached a beautiful,
tender and affecting sermon, which sunk
deep into every soul and left its impress
upon every ICdl |. III IuIS ldSG odC III
butte to the still, cold form in the casket
before him, he drew an impressive lesson
of the shortness of life and the fact that
no matter where our paths may lead, all
roads must end sooner or later at the
grave.
After the services at the church, the
procession, stretching as far as the eye
could reach, moved slowly to the ceme-
terry, the sorrowing friends seeming al
most numberless.
At the grave the last sad words were
said, and the last sad rites performed.
Earth to earth, dust to dust, ashes to
ashes" the corruptible has put on incor
ruption, and the mortal has put on i'm
mortality.
