most tenderly loved always. She had
been in invalid for more than q year
and like her lamented husband the
cuu had lost its bitterness ere it reacn-

die and rests eternally with the saints.
Mrs. Abney was seventy-four years
of age. and has been for many years
protesting Christian and was the
oldest member of the Edgefeld Vll-
lage Baptist church at the time OF her
departure. On Friday the remains OF
this venerable and beloved lady were
laid to rest in our village cemetery,

sermon.

an idolized mother whose voice they
may know no more on earth, but who
shall await their coming in that house
not made with hands eternal in the
heavens,
And she rests at the end of the path, in 'e city
Whose ..builder and maker is God"
