Jas. II. Lowry's daughter, who
has been down with typhoid fever
so long and has been at the point
of death for more than s~week, is
still alive, and, she being able to
pull through SO long, We now hope
that she will get up and be happy.
Dudley Hart, of the Preston
neighborhood. died last Thursday,
from the effect of relapse of ty-
sphoid fever. He was well known
and liked in this neighborhood, and
had many kinfolks and friends at
this place who are exceedingly sor-
~ to hear of his death.
We are so sad over the death of
one of our best neighbors, Mrs. w.
c. Harper, who died last Thursday
morning at l a. IN, that We can't
recall very many happenings this
week. She was as good a neighbor
as ever anyone lived by, ever hav-
ing a pleasant smile and kind
word for all. No one ever called
on her in vain, for they were fitted
out to the best of her ability every
time. If she had an enemy We are
at loss to know who it is, and we
know that if enemy, if any, were to
tell the truth, they would nave to
cay she was too good to us. If
there ever was anyone that went to
Heaven she is sure tn be that per-
son, "for Of such is the Kingdom
Of God"
We are exceedingly sorry to say
that Mrs. Ed Glover, of upper
Stepstone, is down with another
stroke of paralysis and is in a very
low state, with chances against her,
but where there is life there ia hope,
and We hope that she will pull
through and livs to a great old
age, for there are several small
children that we hope she will be
spared to raise in the way they
should go.
Mrs. Efiie D., wife of W. c. Har-
per, died at Stepstone, Thursday,
Jany. Goth. 1899. She was the oldest
daughter of Jas. r. Shrout, of near
there, being born, July l4th, 1877,
and the pet of the whole family.
While yet in youth she professed
her faith in the Almighty Christ
and connected herself with Corinth
Church. Ever after that lived up
to the true doctrine, as laid down
by the "Book of God" as she un-
derstood it. On March 10th, 1897,
she was married to w. C. Harper,
the only child of James Harper, Of
Catlettsburg, Ky. They settled down
to housekeeping at Stepstone sta
tion and lived the life of the just,
happy in the company of each other,
and yet deriving more happiness
from the wise method Of trying to
make every one they came in con-
tact with happy, and we all miss
her so much. To think that this
young lady should be taken away
at the age of 81 years 6 months
and IL days, when she was doing SO
much good for her Master, working
in his vineyard, and to leave her
helpmate, who was ever willing to
aid her In her coed work at any
and all times, regardless of the cos,
to him, is a sad thing to us, and We
hope and pray that the all. wise
God in his wisdom will cheer and
help those she left here behind tC
their Cross THAT this bereavement,
will still add to it) with as much
| ease as possible. She was buried
in Owingsville Cemetery and the
pail bearers were her uncles, botf
blood and by marriage.
"Come, ye disconsolate. where 'er yo,
languish,
Come. nns.,. at Gods altar ferventl!
Here bring your wounded hearts
here tell your anguish
Earth has no sorrow that HeaveI
cannot heal"
