Obituary.

JANE K. THAog WITS born near Richmond, Va, May 8, 1Ss6. and died in Russellyille, Ark. at half past 2oclock. D. m., June Is, 1891 being 55 years, month and 10 days old.
 In 1850 she with several of her sisters came to Arkansas with her brother, Richard E. Nor ment. spent several years here, then returned, making her home in Washington City, D. O., with her brother, Samuel Norment. After spending two years there, she returned again 23d year, was married to Rev. D. l.. G. Mc- Kenzie, q member or the Arkansas confercn M. k. church south. and one of the most prom ising men of that time connected with the con : ference. This happy union was broken by the death of her husband. who departed this life in the city of Little Rock in January. 1863. while with one child, Ina, who is now the wife of the Hon. Jef Davis, a resident of Russellville and prosecuting attorney of this judici al district
 Mrs. Thach lived in widowhood until in 1868, when she was again married at her sisters, Mrs. John Kimbroughs, about 25 miles below Pine Bluff, at Kimbroughs' Landing on the Arkansas river, to capt. Frank Thach, and very soon afterwards moved to Drew county, in six miles of Monticello. where they lived for three years and then moved to this place in the winter of 1871, and continued her residence here until March, 1889, when, on account of failing health, she moved to Eureka Springs, and remained there up to within few weeks of her death, when she came back to her old home among us to die.
 By her marriage with Captain Thach sine had five children-Frank, who died some two years ago in Colorado, Ellen, who died in in
 
 their sister, Ina Davis.
 She left, on dying, to her loved ones behind, q beautiful home in Eureka Springs, small farm near Russellv file, and a 5000 policy in the Knights and Ladies of Honor, of which she was member. But this was much the least of the legacy lett behind her. To her children and to all with whom she came in con- tact-and in going about her Masters business she made 1t a point to come in contact with all --she left lega cy rich In the example and in- fiuence of a consecrated life. She was convert- ed at the age of IS. and joined the NJ. E church south, and was from that day living epistle, known and read of all men. Seldom does one see life so full of devotion and SO consecrated as hers; always active and laborious, sympa- thesie and generous to a fault. Widow though she was for Captain Thach died March f5, 1878, leaving her the second time in widow hood), and frequently in raising her family, pressed by the hand of necessity. yet she all ways had division ready for the cause of her Master and the needy coming her way. Like Paul, for her to live was Christ, but to die was gain.
