In Memoriam.


Died, on October 9th, 1899, Mrs. Luther
Gibson, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. b
Hughes, of Germantown. She was in the
Both year Of life, and leaves husband and
four small children.
Mrs. Gibson was visiting her parents when
she was stricken with typhoid, and had been
sick about six weeks when the end came.
She was converted at 10 years of age, and
became a member of the M. Il. Church
South, living a consistent life of twenty
years. At the time of her death Mrs. Glib
son was member of Epworth Methodist
Church, South Washington, d. G.
The funeral and interment took place on
the morning of October 18th, at Forest Oak
Chapel, Gaithersburg, conducted by Rev. j.
o. Knott, her former pastor, assisted by
Rev. William A. Mcdonald.
The large church was crowded with rela-
tlves and friends, to pay their last respect
and tribute, and 1t was very touching as the
minister spoke Of Mrs. Gibson's earnest de-
votion to her church and family, and as be-
ing faithful and cheerful under all circum.
stances, to sec the little children sobbing and
their fathers heart almost breaking. Great
sympathy is extended by all to them and all
her bereaved loved ones.
May God comfort them by His Holy Spirit
and bring them at last to meet her on the
evergreen shore.
