The great messenger Of pease visited
the home of j 7. Brahe on sunday, May
glst. 1899. and took to the glorious realms
of Paradise hi. beloved companion Mrs.
A. d. Brahe. who was born September y
1874. and was married to him July ., 1871,
by Rev. W. II. Wampler.
During the past. month the church Of
God and the world at large have sustained
a very serious loss. She was woman
most true in her personal piety, as We
have known from having enjoyed her pri-
vate friendship: woman most firm in her
faith in the gospel of our Lord Jesus
Christ. Mrs. Brahe was an active men,
her of the VI. +. Church, South, and has
otherwise been prominent in religious and
charitable works, aud to-day she is sing
inc praises, as an angel with her other
dear friends who have gone Oh before,
and are around the dazzling throne of
God. Her presence adds one bright and
PRECIOUS star to the heavenly mansion, the
nearly snow-white throne Of God. May
we all prepare to set sail tor that ethernal
mansion of heavenly glory and join hands
i'm the chariot OF ever blissful eternity.
All along during her sickness, she was
cheerful, hopeful ane good Hatured, COM
planned of no one and OF nothing, and was
grateful for even the smallest fayOrs.
The fruits of the spirit were Enthusiastically
manifest in her. She died with her in
telect unclouded, was conscious to the
last. She has finished her course and
though we do not lay her TO sleep in the
grave with the sorrow of those who have
no hone, vet we can not but mourn that
good woman has fallen tins day in Isreal.
Surely the righteous are taken away from
the evil to come, and We are left to
struggle on under increasing difficulties.
The hearts devotion, which linked this
couple together is forever severed.
She talked to her friends concerning
their future welfare, and prayed for the
sinners, and told great things concerning
her future prospects for reward until the
brittle cord of life was forever broken.
She leaves a husband, two children, and
many friends to mourn their loss. She was
carried TO the NJ. +. Church. South, by
the Odd Fellows, and after services there
by Rev. Fred n. Looney her remains were
carried to the Jones cemetery, where the
Odd Fellow. paid their last tribute OF
respect to their bereaved brother.
She was laid to rest by the side of her
sweet faced babe, who took its flight to
that glorious land on Feb. nth, last.
They are now basking around the sun
light shore of eternal Paradise, as white
winged angels.
For her kindness and goodness We have
a sweet message OF love to send her; to
her whom our souls loved best, but We
have our task to finish and she has gone
home to rest To rest IN that far bright
home, yes, so far away from here, that we
long for an angel 10 bear our message and
hear her shout, "bless the name of the
Lord" Yes. little Carroll will bear our
message of love 10 that angelic mother
and the little chcrub will help to chant
the praise, 'blsss the name of the Lord
