Houx, formerly of this county.
The news OF this death was received
with deep regret, the deceased having
spent all of her girlhoed and part of her
married life in Lafayette county. She
leaves a husband and three children to
mourn her untimely death. She slept the
last sleep on Easter morn, when the
beautiful flowers were heralding the
return of the anniversary of the Resur-
rection of Christ, and all life and nature (
had dropped the gloomy robes of winter |
and come forth-a fair emblem of the |
dead that sleep in Christ. How sad, upon |
upon such glorious morn, to be shrouded /
in the somberness of death! Yet how /
sweet the hope, that beyond the grave she /
lives immortalj and death is only the |
beginning OF a better, broader and purer /
life. She realized that death was newt /
able, and meekly bowed to Gods decree |
She was lovingly attended by each mem
ber of her family, and made her desires
known concerning her loved ones ere she |
passed away. AT the time OF her death
she was a member of the Christian
church, having joined that church about
ten years ago. She lived life of devotion
to her home and children, and her loving
counsel and worthy life will be initiated
by those bereft.
