This is what the Christian friends and
relatives of Mrs. j. r. Milford have re-
Gently been called upon to exclaim. Oh,
how sad 1t is to part with loved ones in
death. There is nothing that can COM
pensate for this sorrow but the blessed
hope of being happy with them in the
Paradise of God. We are so glad that
those who knew Mrs. Milford best
(though she and her husband had only
been living here about three months) can
feel assured that she is now in the joyous
presence of our Heavenly Father. Mrs.
Milford was born near Lowndesville on
the Anderson and Abbeville line, on Au-
gust ID, 1860, and died March /, 1902.
She was, therefore, in her 43d year. She
leaves mother, Mrs. s. L. Morgan, who
was living with her at the time of her
death; two sisters, Mrs. @. d. Giles, of
Townville, and Mrs. Belscher, of Iva,
and three brothers, Rev. j. T.. Morgan, of
Barnes, S. c., Mr.. James Morgan, of
Greenwood, and Mr. Mabry Morgan, of
Vilinow, Ga, and her husband, to mourn
their loss. A large and sympathetic con-
course of relatives and friends assembled
at Union Church, in Anderson county,
March A, at IL O'Clock, Rev. Robt. Martin
conducting the funeral services, after
which her body was laid to rest in Union
Baptist cemetery.
Her crown of sparkling jewels shine,
Far brighter than the sun,
And in her bosom all is peace,
Her work on earth is done.
