Villa Virginia Harner

A sketch of the life 0of Valla Virgin
ia Harner written by one of her inti-
mate Ohio friends.
A bright young life has suddenly
closed., He who numbers our days saw
its story completed on earth and low it
is received out of our sight.
Died on June 3rd 1908 Villa Virginia
Murphy. She was born at Mofgantown
w. Va. August 26 1855 received into
the Methodist church of Morgantown
when eleven years old Married Nav
28th 1902 to Hough Harner of Morgan
town, w. Va yet when the call came TO
leave the earthly home for another,
"even ali heavenly" there was no hest
tation on her part. Her mother and
father we're with her during her sick
ness. All her near relatives visited the
bedside with the exceptions of brother
and sister whose health would not pei
nit. In a willing spirit she went for
ward, but she was not afraid Those who
knew her we'll will readily recall the
distinguishing traits OF her character !;
the bright joyous disposition. Their
home was center of loving influence
where they exercised a cheerful bospi-
tality, and many outside the large circle
of their own relatives can speak of hap
ply visits to that home. She had been
in poor health for a couple of years but
bore her suffering very patiently with
never murmur or complaint. She died
in full hope OF a blessed resurrection
She fed on Gods truth and he who
prepared her for the place.
The earthly duties are laid aside and
she enters on the heavenly life In Thy
presence is fulness of JOY at thy right
hand there are pleasures for ever more.
Mrs. Villa Harner had large circle
OF acquaintance both here and else
where and her heath is deeply deplored
She was devoted wife and daughter, a
loving and affectionate sister, a kind
friend and withal an estimable and ex-
emplary young woman
The family has the heartfelt sympa-
thy of the entire community. She was
laid to rest in the Pleasant Hill Gene
terry Morgantown w. Va. The. services
we're conducted by Rev. o. w. Waters
assisted by Rev. G. L. Bell. The fun
eral sermon was preached at the
Pleasant Hill church.
