sire to repeat the experience of the

Blanche Gaskill, daughter of
Emanuel and Sarah Gaskill, was born
near Westboro, September Is, 1880,
and died at New Lexington April "A,
1901, aged 20 years, months and 9
days. She was married to Homer
Jones December "a, 1893. To this
union was born one son, little Bruce,
who is deprived of the loving care of
mother at the tender age of fifteen
months. She leaves husband, son,
father, mother, two sisters, one
brother and many friends to mourn
her loss. She graduated from the
Martinsville' High School May q 1897.
She was converted and united with
the M. E. church when about nine
years of age and remained a member
until her death. She was possessed
of kind and loving disposition
which made her a favorite among
sch06r frfends and dnd-tAlrsssgheut the
entire neighborhood.. She was of a
cheerful disposition and therefore
notepf that number who see nothing
but darkness in the world, but of that
more desirable company who do not
fail to see the silver lining of the
passing cloud. She thus combined In
her personality these two character
istics, kindness and cheerfulness, 20
highly prixed By and 20 useful TO the
world. While one 20 dearly loved has
gone seemingly too soon from among
us let ~ bow our heads In humble
s9eniselo. to that one Who doeth all
