CULLEOKA, June I5.-Snce our last
communication to the HERALD, deaths
heavy hand has been laid upon the
hearts in two of our homes. On Sun
day May 80, 1897, Mrs. Mary Ann
Branch (nee Miss Mary Ann UzZel)
laid down the cross of earthly cares,
and her gentle spirit assembled to her
God. She was born July ID, 1898. She
was noble christian, and member of
the Methodist Church for about 81
years. In 1871 she was married to Will
lam NJ. Branch. Her husband, seven
children, and many grandchildren and
great-grandchildren are left to mourn
her death, and to strive to live life like
that she so faithfully and religiously
lived.
Though death may not cross our own
threshold, nor take our loved ones
directly from our arms, the sting is no
less hard to bear. To the parents, sis
tiers and brothers here came the sad
news of the death Of Bradford G. Camp
bell at his home in Aubrey, Texas, on
June s, '97. Mr.. Campbell left Ten.
nessee for Texas in September 1898.
December "a, 1870 he married Miss Dovie
Holmes. In his three weeks illness
with fluX, he ever showed his patient,
christian spirit. TO the dear ones here
and to the young wife and two little
boys the testimony he left behind is in
deed great comfort AS the mother
fondly said, Gle was always good
boy" lie feared not to die, but sang as
he lay dying "Nearer My God to Thee
and whispered at the last crest, sweet
rest"
1t seems that the world can i'll afford
to lose two such good people as these,
but we must remember that to God
they belonged. lie loaned them to us
and He has but claimed His own. He
will comfort the bereaved, and will
make plain to them the justice and
mercy of His will.
While our hearts are full OfsympathY
for our friends sad over the death of their
loved ones, there comes to us sad news,
trouble in our own family. the wife of
DR.. w. w. Fowler is dangerously ill at
their home in Ballinger, Texas. We
can but wait and pray that God may
spare her to her hush md and little ones.
