On Wednesday morning, Jan.
18th, Mrs. Sarah Hart, relict of
Henry Hart, died at the residence
Of Mr.. w. S. Covar, in our town,
at whose hospitable home she had
been living for several months past.
Af'er few days sickness she
placidly fell asleep in Jesus. On
Thursday her remains we're in
tered in our village cemetery,
after services at the Baptist Church
conducted by DR.. Gwaltney. DR..
Gwaltney's remarks on the occa-
sion were a touching tribute to the
memory of the deceased and of
comfort to the living who mourn
departed loved ones. He had
known Mrs. Hart forty years ago.
She was at that time a member of
his church, having joined and been
baptized by Rev. Mr.. Chiles,
former pastor. He had known her
TO be faithful friend, a kind
a tender mother, a con-
sistent Christian, and as such she
was an heir of glory and was now
resting in that happy land where
sickness, sorrow, pain, and death
can never enter; that glorious
heavenly home wherc by faith we
see our loved and saved and in
robes of white and with palms in
their hands waiting to welcome us
to our heavenly home.
