| DEATH OF MRS. w. F. ROWLAND.
The End Came at Aulander After q
Brief Sickness With the Gripp.

The announcement of Mrs. w. F.
Rowland's death caused pain and sur
prise to her friends last week. Only
a short while ago she and Mr.. Rowland
had gone 10 visit their son, Mr.. Willis
Rowland, in the Eastern part of the
State, at Aulander. Three weeks
ago she was taken with la grippe and
owing 10 her already enfeebled con-
dition she fell all easy victim.
Emma Patterson Rowland was born
in Louisburg, n. c., Jan. 16, 1881,
and died Jan. %, 1901. She was the
daughter of Smith and Margaret
Chancye Patterson, her father being
clerk of the court for % years.
Reared in a cultured, Christian home,
there was early instilled into her
those virtues and characteristics
which SO distinguished her in after
life.
She was, on account of her lovely
| disposition, her attractive personal
ity, and her skill and accomplish
ments as vocalist and performer on
the piano, great favorite in society.
Louisburg, in those days, as at pres
ent, was socially delightful, and
musical evenings were frequent. OF
these she was the central figure.
In Janurv, 1854, she was united in
marriage to Mr.. Jos. w. Taylor, of
Houston, Va. This union was of
short duration, he dying about two
years afterward. Ten years later she
became the wife of Mr.. Willis F..
Rowland, who survives her. With
her life and labors since she became
resident of Henderson, most of our
citizens, the older ones especially ,are
familiar. For many years Mrs.
Rowland had mingled in society very
little but those who knew best testify
to the lovely influence she welded 10
| the home circle and those about her.
She was generally beloved for her
lovely, bright disposition, her gentle
and unvarying kindness to all with
| whom she came in contact. A kind
neighbor, true friend, a devoted
wife and mother, and a consistent
| member Of the church. when death
came she was ready and prepared for
it.
Mrs. Rowland had been in feeble
health for years. Until compelled on
this account to forego such duties,
which to her were pleasures as well,
she was for long time organist and
| choir leader of the Methodist Episco-
pal church. Nor was there ever more
faithful or loyal service rendered in
any capacity. A cultivated woman,
best of all, a Christian, has gone from
our midst to her reward
The body reached Henderson Satur-
day morning, the funeral being held
from the Methodist Episcopal church
at 3 o'clock p. M, Rev. Nj. H. Tuttle,
the pastor, conducting the services

Darning Needle Imbedded i'm a Cows
Heart

Mr. John A. Fleming tells the GOLD
LEAF Of singular incident in con-
nection with a cow belonging to Mr..
Gus Watkins, who lives in the Nut
bush neighborhood. She seemed
peculiarly affected, refused to eat, and
finally her Jaws became fixed, in which
condition she died. There were un-
mistakable evidences of lock Jaw and
to ascertain if possible what was the
matter with the animal Mr. Watkins
had her cut open and examined. I'm
bedded in the cows heart was large
size darning needle, the heart itself
being in advanced stage Of putrefac-
ton.
The cow had evidently swallowed
the needle and it worked through the
stomach into the heart. Had it not
penetrated that organ it is proba able
that the needle would have worked
its way to the outside with no i'll
effects upon the poor beast for having
made a needle cushion of her stomach

In Memory Of Cousin Emma.

Many hearts in our town and commun-
ity were filled with sorrow last Friday,
when the sad news came announcing the
death Of Mrs. Willis F. Rowland.
Thus has passed away q devoted wife,
loving and indulgent mother, q kind
sister, and a true and faithful friend, for
indeed she was pure, sweet Christian
woman, who had endeared herself to
every one, whose pleasure it was to know
her.
One thing very impressive in the life OF
this dear woman was the scrupulous re-
gard she cherished for the right, and
feelings of Others. This trait of character
was beautifully displayed to one and
all.
Our beloved one is no more with US,
except in fond remembrance, which must
and will remain though she be gone
Sad. sad indeed, to realize she is no
more, and the familiar place that knew
her so well must never know her again
Yet, such spirit OF cheerfulness, OF
genial humor, gentleness of feeling and
companionship, must and will be remem-
bered by her loved ones and many
friends.
Though she was many years the
writer's senior, still there was love and
congeniality between them seldom seen
in the old and young. Yes,
Many happy days together have we spent,
But now those days are passed.
Those halcyon days and sunny hours
They were too sweet to last.
1t is so sad to realize that in her deaf b
| must give up my best, sweetest and
most consoling friend. and while my
heart is crying out with bitter grief, help
me, dear Lord, to remember that my
| loss is Cousin Emma's gain.
BY her bright example let us see how
blessed it is to be Christian and cherish
| unfaitering faith in our Saviour, such
faith that she applied first in good works
| and earnest prayer that led her humbly
to the work, to the mercy set, and to a
| rich reward.
While we all are shedding sympathetic
tears,
Tho she is gone, we have no fears
| But that our loss is her eternal gain,
Therefore, from grief let us refrain.
Can more be said of Cousin Emma?
| Yes, she lived and died a Christian, with
bright hopes of eternal happiness May
all be impressed with her living advice
| pray in health that we may be prepared
| for death.
Her devoted Cousin,
MRS. ISHAM ROWLAND.
