Obituary of Mrs. Matte
FuQate.

Despite the willing hands, and earnest
devotion OF many friends-husband
father, mother, brothers and sisters, who
were at her bed side at all times, Mrs.
Matte Fugate passed from the shifting
scenes OF this life unto death at four
o'clock Tuesday evening, May IL, 1899,
after a long and lingering illness. She
entered calmly into that long. long slum-
ber-yes, as peacefully as an infant going
to sleep. wrapped in its mothers arm
leaving a complete assurance that her
sins had been forgiven, and that she
would occupy a reyered seat mid the
pearly gates OF Paradise. The hearts de-
vOtiOn which linked this couple together
is forever severed. TO die is human. All
things natural must succumb and fall TO
dust-"tO dust thou returnest." The
wailing mind, the bleeding heart Is dire
consolation OF the parting between hus-
band and vile. The Great Ruler of the
Universe-He rules and none can hinder
guides our every step, but doeth all
things well, after the counsel of His own
will. Matte was a favored help-meet of
the entire vicinity, and always spared no
pains in lighting the burdens of
the afflicted, speaking a word
OF good cheer when she could do so. At
all times she was a firm believer that the
God of all grace would be mercifuI unto
her in her declining days; and shortly
before her sad demise she called her
husband TO her bed and ;old him great
things concerning her future prospects
for reward. At length she passed from
this earth of trials, rejoicing in the faith
once delivered to the Saints. What a
glorious thought, She is now basking
around the sunlight shore of eternal
Paradise as a white-winged angel. The
little infant of but few weeks, that Matte
lett here in a world of SORROW, will be cared
for by never firing and tender hands.
What a blessing, il it could only be re-
moved hence in its weak infancy. for
Jesus says: Suffer little children TO
come unto me; forbid them not, for of
such is the kingdom of Heaven" Two
other children are left to meet the stern
of this life, but they will he
tutored and cared for by faithful hands,
who will bring them up in the way they
should 60.
On the little mound, overlooking mouth
of Thornton, Mattie's last remains were
calmly rested by the side of two sisters
and other relatives gone on before, where
they will await the resurrection morn.
