Death of "Grandma King.

AS the first year of the new century
wanes, the recorder of things temporal
pauses with reverence and eXaltation
to note the flight of an immortal spirit
that, clothed in humanity. first
breathed the breath of life on
April 10, 1S05-in the early dawn of
the cycle of years just passed. This
choice soul that was destined to know
so much of life and it's tribulation that
worketh patience, experience and
hope, because her days were so many,
was Mrs. Patsy King, the mother of
our townsman, w. +. Davis.
Mrs. King, or Grandma King, as
she was Familiarity known, died at the
home of her son, Mr.. Frank Davis, last
Saturday morning, and was buried on
Sunday in the New Providence church
graveyard. Copiah county, Rev. S. r.
Young officiating. Mrs. King was
among the charter members of this
church, which was organized in 1928.
There we're five generations represent
ed at the grave of the aged saint. She
had lived natural life of 96 years, 70
of which were frightened by the quick
ening spirit of Christianity. She was
the mother of eleven children, two of
whom were twins. The following are
left to mourn the death of their
mother, who was SO long spared to
them: w. w. Davis, of Caseyville, w.
F., of Brookhaven, f. NJ, of Copiah
and Mrs. II. j. Furr, of Brandywine,
Mrs. S. E. Varnado, of Copiah, Mrs. p.
Newman, of McComb, Mrs. NJ. E.
GaskiD, of Texas, Mrs. z. E. Allen, of
Indian Territory, the last named being
the youngest, who was born after the
death of her father, Mrs. Kings first
husband, and is now 80 years of age.
Among the grand children are DR.. w.
w. Davis and Mrs. Ada Davis-Smith,
of this city and county, and z. ID.
Davis, of jackson. The Davis family
probably has larger connection than
any other in the state; there are 500
living relatives at present. No child
rem were born to her after her second
marriage.
Mrs. King had lived for the past 16
years with her son in this city and he
and his wife had faithfully devoted
themselves to her care. She had often
expressed desire to die at her sons
in Copiah, because his residence was
nearer the cemetery where rested de-
parted loved ones and where she her
self would be laid away. 1t all hap
pened just as she had hoped; and even
the pillow she had made several years
ago to be placed beneath her head was
arranged in her coffin There are
many incidents connected with the
pilgrimage of the departed that
would be of interest to the present
generation.
We doubt not that over the valley of
the shadow of death has dawned the
brightness of the morning of glori-
Gus eternity for her whose feet at last
grew weary upon the shores of time.
