Rev. o. NJ. Martin, the Presiding Elder of
st. Louis, held quarterly conferences at the
Methodist Church on Sunday last, and de-
livered an excellent sermon on "There are
| some things that are hard to understand"
But as the reverend gentleman is equal to
| explain why some passages of the Scrip
ture are SO hard to understand that no
doubt every one present was fully satisfied
with his explanatory remarks.
John Brooks, who has been reported in
the REGISTER as being sick, is at this writ

| Died, IN this place, of consumption, on
Wednesday evening, Aug. 5. 1891. Mrs L.
G. Foley (nee Nellie O'Brien), aged 80 years
| and months. Deceased was daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Daniel O'Brien, and was born
in Louisville, KY. In 1858, the year of her
birth, her parents moved to st. Louis, and
from there, the next year, moved to Cape
| Girardeau; but remained there but a short
| time, removing to Iron comfy and settling
at Pilot Knob in 1860, where they lived four
years. Mr.. O'Brien having bought farm
at Graniteville, the family left Pilot Knob
| and moved thereon In 1864, and have resided
| there ever since. About the year 1880 Miss
Nellie was married to Thomas G. Foley, and
to this union three bright children have
been born-Willie, Mary and Mickey, now
aged 8 4 and years, respectively-and with
| their papa survive to mourn the loss OF a
beloved wife and an affectionate mother.
Thus a useful life has been spent. AS a
Christian woman none had higher attain
ments; devout Catholic, she fully realized
and mentioned when her life's work was
done, and, further on, when telling her folks
around her bedside to take good care of
the darling little ones whom she was about
to leave, and told them she was ready for
the change and that all was we'll beyond.
Then she calmly closed her eyes and iii a
short time was unconscious Of the doings
of this world. Forty buggies. carriages
and other conveyances followed the
remains to their last resting place
Deceased was highly esteemed by all, and
the sympathies of our entire neighbor'
hood are hereby extended to the bereav-
ed husband and little ones. The remaint
were inferred in the Middlebrook cemetery
Father Wernert of Arcadia conducting the
funeral services. Mr.. Foley desires YOU
correspondent to say that he is very CRATE
full and under many obligations to the goof
people of Graniteville and vicinity for theil
useful and kind assistance given his lat
wife in her late affection. TYRo.
