CAMPBELL'S STATION.


To live in hearts we leave behind
Is never to have died;
so softly sings the bnrds refrain,
A truth that's echoed wide
Across the realm of human thought,
Where buds Of memory bloom.
1t becomes our sad duty to chronicle
the death of Mrs. Sidney-Porter Fox
which occurred at her home in Camp
bells Station, on the evening of Oct. 7,
1896.
She was born July s, 1876; in the year
$780, Sept. -, she was happily married
to Mr.. Jerome Fox; one child blessed
this union, but it preceded its mother to
the grave in the fall of 1888 she made a
profession of religion and united herself
with the Mt. Olivet Methodist church,
in which she lived a CONSTANT chris
tian life, thereby erecting standing
monument TO her memory. AS a wife
she was kind of heart, affectionate in
attention, subordinate in will; these
sublime qualities made her neigh Dor
highly appreciated, and won for her
many friends Rev, w. II, Molloy of
Culleoka preached an appropriate fun
eral sermon at the grave, after which
the once sweet faced, young and cheer
full wife and daughter, was buried be-
meath the sod in Campbell's Station
v
morn. She leaves heart broken young
usband, mother and father and several
brothers and sisters, who have our ten
derest heartfelt sympathy in this sad
and gloomy hour
o hearts, who mourn for her to-day,
Could she but speak TO you,
Your tears would flow, for JOY to know
She's found His promise true.
Once more with those who'd gone before
In friendship true, in wifehood grand,
In christian faith sublime,
Her life has lett her footprints clear,
Upon the sands Of time.
