THE LATE MRS. MOSES ROLPH.
Tribute to the Memory of This Christian
Lad.

After long and painful Illness. on the
l1th INST, died at Sparta, Caroline conn
", Mrs. Eudora Heylin Rolph in the
Goth year OF her age. Born in Ohio She
married, in early life. Mr.. Moses RoIph.
OF New York. Thirty-two years ago'
while still in the freshness and beauty of
young womanhood, she removed with
her husband to Sparta. Va, where she
continued to live until God took her to
dwell with him. Coming a total stran-
ger into our midst she soon won MANY
friends by her attractive manners and
Kindness OF heart, and as the wears passed
on she became more and more endeared
20 them. She was sincerely interested in
the welfare OF the community and happi-
ness OF our people For every good work
she was ready to give her time, effort
and money, and the cause of truth and
righteousness found in her an ardent ad-
vocate. In her home life she was a most
aifectionate wife and devoted mother;
and, when all of her own children were
removed by the hand of death, her heart
went out in tenderness yearning towards
every little child, Never can / cease to
remember with the deepest gratitude her
lavish kindness and devoted love to one
motherless baby whom she took to her
bosom and sheltered in her heart. She
was, in her church connection, a Presby
terian, but she was far more deeply inter
ested in those Bible truths which lie at
the foundation of the faith of all Evange-
listic christians than she was in the sue
cess OF any one denomination ot chris.
tians, and there were few members of the
Baptist church at this place who were
more interested in its prosperity, or who
were more ready to help in all its work
then she was. In her death the commu-
nifty loses true friend to every good
cause, the church ready and valuable
helper, and her family a source of un-
speakable pleasure and comfort. "But
we sorrow not as those who have no
hope for we believe that Jesus died and
rose again and that even so them also
which sleep in Jesus viii God bring with
him."

One of the most pleasant reunions OF

continued until midday. by which time
the largest assembly of people ever seen

was present. Many who had not met
Tor years, and some who had not seen

mattoX surrender. were present. About
l O'Clock the old veterans were formed in
lire, with Capt. l.. r. Wharton as com
mander, and the march was taken to the
dinner table. Meats of all kinds and
many delicacics of the season were pro-
vided. The tables were in charge OF the
ladies, among whom were many of the
wives, daughters and grand daughters

To add to the pleasure of this annual oc-
casion was done. After satisfying the
inner man, several hours was devoted to
speeeh-making by those who had partici-

those who entertained the large crowd
with their amusing speeches and war ex-
periences were Hon. VIM. Mayo. Walter
