IN AIEMORIAAI.


HIERS.-In the city of Savannah, on
the sth Of November, 1895, the genial and
gentle spirit of Mrs. ]. Lawton Hers
passed from earth to heaven. Only thir-
ty-three years of age she was cut down
in the dawn of her usefulness, and in the
bloom and beauty of her womanhood. She
was the sister of Mr.. d. b. Lester, a
widely known lawyer, and the faithful
wife of j. Lawton HERS, a prominent
physician of this city. The virtues that
crowned her character were gentleness,
domesticity, modesty and piety. She won
all by "the ornament of a meek and quiet
spirit" She had proper regard for her
sphere. She was "a keeper at home" and
found her highest happiness in the tribute
of her husband to her domestic virtues
and the training of her children in those
principles by which the character of men
are formed. and the destiny of nations are
fixed and not in the buzz of society, or
the blaze of the stage. She was true to
her sex. She shrank from publicity as the
stars hide from the sun. Her piety was
deep but not demonstrative. She was a
diligent student of the Bible, and worked
out to her own satisfaction a complete
harmony of the gospels. She was a quiet,
but useful member of the First
Baptist church of Savannah. and
did all in her power to ad-
vance its interests. The ideal Of her life
was summed up in her own words written
but a short time before her death: Live
for something. Make every day count for
something to the world. because you are
in it, with kind feelings, pleasant words
and noble Offices S. A. G.
