Obituary.

Departed this life on Sunday morn
ing, November 18th, 1892, at the home
of her daughter, Mrs. Lindsay, St.
Louis, Mo-, Mrs. NANCY HENDRICKS,
aged II years. The remains were TAX
en- to Union, Franklin county, Mo-, and
tenderly laid to rest beside the loved
ones gone before.
Mrs. Hendricks was we'll known as a
woman of sterling qualities and high
Christian character. She was the
daughter of Benjamin and Elizabeth
Brown, and the wife of Madison Hend-
ricks, who died in 1862, leaving the
care of a family devolving upon her;
and as to how well she kept that trust
her useful and honorable children are
testimonies more lasting than craven
monuments; and to-day the sweet mem
DRY of that noble mother, with her life
of abiding faith and glad acquiesence
in the Masters will, is left to the wait
ing ones on Times side as a priceless
legacy, far more precious than silver
or gold. In early life she espoused
the cause of Christ, and for many
years the interests of the Methodist
Church were dear to her heart. A
good soul has passed away, and as true
heart as ever beat has ceased to thrOb.
To those who sit in the shadow of this
earthly sorrow we would say, mot
lost, but gone before As in life she
served the God Of Abraham. Isaac and
Jacob, do thou likewise, and follow her
footsteps up to the gates of day and be
forever safe. To her the pathway of
life seemed long and hard. and weary
of earth's pilgrimage she gladly en-
tered into that rest that remaineth for
the people of God.
FERDINAND ALONzO PATTERSON died
at Chiffon, Carter county, Mo-, No
vember 1st, 1892, at 9 o'clock a. M.
aged % years and l day.
He was the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
VIM. r. Patterson. The funeral SER
vices were held at the home of his
parents on Marble Creek, November
18th. The remains were inferred in
Folks cemetery. The deceased pro-
fessed religion at meeting held at
Logtown schoolhouse, conducted by
Rev. H. Whitehead, last summer. For

he had not connected himself with
either of the churches, but gave salts
factory evidence in his daily life to
those who knew him, that he had
passed from death to life, which gives
us hope that dispels the darkness
and mingles joy with our sorrow at
his departure.
Asleep in Jesus! Blessed sleep,
From which none ever wakes to weep,
\ calm and undisturbed repose,
Unbroken by the last of foes.
Asleep in Jesus! Oh how sweet,
To be for such a slumber meet,
With holy confidence to sing,
That death hath lost its venomed sting.
Asleep in Jesus! Peaceful rest,
Whose Weakening is supremely blest,
No fear, no woe, shall dim that hour,
That manifests the Savior's power.
Asleep in Jesus! Far from thee
Thy kindred and their graves may be,
But thine is still blessed sleep
From which none ever wakes to weep.
