IN MEMoRiAN Mrs. Elizabeth
Dashner, wife oil the late William
Dashner, died at her home in this
place on Friday night, April 10Th,
1891, only lacking - days of being
81 years old. She WAS by nature OF
stout. strong physique, nnd most
active, industrious business woman,
endowed with good intellect and u
well cultivated mind. For several
years she has been in declining
health, having frequent severe at.
tacls lasting from a few days TO a
few weeks, bat with her strong will
power and good constitution, and
good attention, she would brave
them through and give promise
again of years of usefulness and
comfort TO her family aud friends,
but her late attack, conpIicatiug
wit Ia grippe, was beyond the pow
or of human endurance, and she
calmly, quietly and peacefully yield
ed up her life in the arms of Jesus,
whom she had worslipped in com
mnnion with the n. f. Church south,
for over fifty years. She was in
deed, noble type of pure christian
womanhood, whose whole life has
becn spent, dedicated to the relief,
comfort aud happiness of others,
with full trust and implicit conf
dence in Him who is ''too wise 10
err" and "too good to be unkind. =
Verify she has her reward.
The writer of this poor, last sad
tribute to the memory OF u dear de
parted friend, as he stood by her
bed side, in her declining moments,
was foreibIy reminded of the last
