1921, and settled originally in Missouri in

Mr.. Harvey Mallory, aged So years and 8

many years. His remains were inferred
in the Dover cemetery Monday, under the
auspices of the Masons.

lory was a good man, an excellent citizen,
and faithful to every trust confided to
him. In war he fought fearlessly. As q
citizen he lived the golden rule. Peace to
his ashes; sympathy to his loved ones.
Died, in this city, Saturday, September
IL, 1892, Mrs. Susan Tinsley Chappell,
wife of Rev. A. r. Faris, aged 80 years.
The deceased was born in Maury county,
Tenn, June "a, 1857, and was married 10
Rev. A. r. Faris, April 7th, 1880, at Nash
vile, Tenn. To this union six children
father, two sisters and a brother, are left
to mourn her death.
Mrs. Faris had not been in good health
for several months, but danger was not
thought to be imminent until a few days
before she died. Conscious of the mercy
Of a Heavenly Father, resigned to His
Will, and in the hope that anchor on
High, she passed through the portals of
death last Saturday evening.
She had been a consistent Christian for
a quarter of a century. For twenty-five
years, at least, the gates of heaven had
stood ajar for her, and as her immortal
soul too its departure from its home of
clay we are sure that its entrance into the
Fathers eternal Home was a triumphant
one, and greeted with the applause of
angels.
Mrs. Faris was a good woman. She was
a devoted daughter, a faithful wife, and a
seIf-sacrificing, patient mother, and ZEAL
Gus Christian. Endowed by nature with
a gentle disposition, with a heart that
beat in sympathy with humanity, and
with q character that was strong enough
to meet the greatest tests, she cultivated
them all to the end that she might not
serve self, but God, and loved ones. Her
life is but a record of good deeds, and
death to her was not an afiiction. 1t was
but a transition from a world of care to a
home of Joy. 1t was to her but a short
to her home on high; for at the
age of fourteen Mrs. Faris began to direct
her attention to matters celestial, and to
her actions to meet the plaudits
Of the angels, and reap the richest frui-
ton of o holy promises. Just upon
threshold of young ~womanhood, she
united with the church, and those who
Knew her best give abundant testimony
TO her faithful Christian life.
In this world we are prone to take a
material view of everything. We
are prone to disregard the welfare OF
and look to the happiness and
of ourselves. We judge the de-
OF our friends and loved ones too
by the standard of our loss, and not
by the light of Gods holy prom
-ses. Taxing our OWL selfish view of this
leath, it is sad, indeed. A husband no
more will be cheered to higher achieve
nents by the smiles of her approval. In
lis home he will miss her company, and
n his life's work her assistance and coun- |
Her children needed her, toe. They
needed her fostering care. They were
always in her thoughts and always re-
In her prayers She loved them 4
With a mothers womanly devotion. To
hese children and this husband, and to
ne church and humanity, the death OF
Mrs. Faris is a great atfiiction. Those who
ire left behind suffer loss, but their loss is
Ter gain, and earth's loss is heavens gain.
1ere she suffered cares and pains and sor-
ows; in heaven she Ia at rest-at rest
oreveF. No more care, no more sorrow,
10 more sickness and pain and suffering,
nut rest and peace and Joy eternal.
The providences of God are wise. He
las called this servant home, that He
mete out to her the reward she so
ichly deserved. And as His ministeriag
and guided her In the path the Savior
rod, so will 1t guide and direct this hus-
and and children in the journey of life.
Ter place cannot be filled here; out it is
My a little while we have to stay, at best,
he Father who answers prayer will pro-
ide a way on earth, and then q crown in
Ieaven.
This family, but a week ago united and
Apply, can hold another lion
lere, but beyond the stars. May they so
I've that when their summons comes they
will be prepared to go and join "Mother"
n that "home not la with hands, eter-
Ial in the heavens"
