An Angel in Heaven.

Died in Sumter last Thursday after
noon. at DR.. Moods lntlrmary, MRS.
Daisy Jenl;inson, wife of Mr.. w. +.
Jenkinson. aged about 81 years: Ihe
body was brought to Manning Innrs,
dav evening, aud every merchant ana
clerk in the town was at the depot to
meet it. The funeral took place FRI
DAY morning at the Methodist church
of which she was member; al ous-
mess houses were closed, and we
have never witnessed a more lmpres-
sive funeral. Rev. S. y. Nettles, the
bosom friend of the deceased and her
husband, conducted the service. Inc
church was full of sincerely sorrowlng
friends and the minister's remarks
were so deeply touching that there were
tears in the eyes of the entire congre-
oatiou. The deceased was one OF his
| favo,i.e scholars when he taught
school in Manning and his references
to her exalted character as chlld, q
Young woman. wife and mother came
from deep down in his heart, and al
though he struggled against emotion.
it was plainly visible that his feelings
were almost uncomfortable. After the
church service the body was followed
to the grave by large crowd. IN TACT,
it was one of the largest funeral pro
cessions we have ever witnessed IN
Manning, and at the cemetery the
choir sang several selections which
were very effecting. The grave was
a bank of beautiful flowers. sent to the
family by sorrowing friends who felt 1t
a holy privilege to place these tributes
Of love upon the grave OF one who was
universally beloved.
1t was the writer's privilege to have
known the deceased from her early
/ childhood. and we can say With SIN
cere heart that in all OF our acqualnt-
ances we have never seen more lovely
character,a more charming disposition,
a life Of sunshine 10 all with whom she
came in contact. Daisy Bagnal as a
Girl. and Young woman, was an example
TO all GIRLS. As a wife she was indeed
q helpmeer to her husband. and VIZ
tuallv a partner in his business, always
taking a lively interest in his affairs,
she w;ls his counsellor and advisor, and
so intelligent an interest did she take,
that if it had been Gods will to take
from her Mr.. Jenkinson. she could have
taken the business in hand at once and
conducted it safely. For q number OF
wears she was q sufferer. but she bore
lit with cheerful trust in her Maker.
AS mother she was all that devotion
could make of humanity, and IN leav-
inc sweet little Martha behind, she
leaves for her Il legacy of love, fortl-
tude and character. Mrs. Jenkinson
was a noble woman. devoted TO her
husband and child. and constant to her
parents and sisters. AS a neighbor
and friend she was hope and pleasure,
and her departure from earth not only
creates void in the aching hearts OF
: her loving family, but countless TRENDS
are also deeply saddened by the dis
pensatiop.
Mrs. Jenkinson knew that her life was
tleeting fast, and she was thoroughly
prepared TO cross the river.
: We believe that such a life when II
hitted from this sphere entered into
IAN house not made with hands, eternal
in the heavens" and that all the sor-
rowing circumstances surrounding her
, taking away was the accomplishment
: of Gods will, which is (, solace and i
, comfort to the dear friends left be-
hind to follow.
