daughter, Mrs. J. W. Carrow, Jr., near
town since the death Of her husband two
years ago. During her stay with her
daughter, she has had several bad attacks
her relatives fearing they might prove
fatal, but by the careful, patient nursing
she received, and the goodness of God,
she has been restored to them many
times. Christmas Day she being as well
as usual, ate hearty dinner to the de-
light of her friends and was entertained
with her daughter, Mrs. J. W. Carrow
and family at the home Of ]. w. Carrow,
Sr., near Mt. Pleasant. A few days later
she was taken seriously i'll, but loved
ones carefully and tenderly watched over
her, hoping that she again might be
spared to them, but this time the Lord
called and relieved her weak frame from
the pains of this world, so quietly and
and peacefully she passed away New
Years eve. She leaves children and
and large circle of friends
to mourn her death. May the examples
of patience and goodness she has left, be
practised and bring forth as its result
much happiness. Funeral was preached
at the house at IL o'clock Saturday, Jan
uary 4th, by Rev. J. H. Geohegan. In
terment was made in Hickory Grove
