Tazewell Lady
Dies i'm Missouri

The death angel has again laid his
Icy hand upon our community, and
taken from our midst Rebecca Akers.
wife OF John Akers, west OF town.
Rebecca 'Akers was born In Tazewell
county, Va, September Is, 1888, and
was married to John Akers December

to Missouri In February, 1900. and
since that time they have lived on
their farm west of town, until the an
gel OF death called her home Oct. IL,
1904.
She united with the Presbyterian
church early In life and remained a
faithful member OF the same until her
death.
She was loved by all who knew her.
Her sweet christian spirit attracted the
world to her. She held up Christ TO
the world by her everyday life and
conversation; and through her life OF
suffering she was not known to COM
plain.
She leaves husband, three brothers
and host OF relatives and friends to
mourn her death, but our loss is her
gain-while we are sad and lonely she
Is rejoicing In the sunshine OF Gods
love. Her funeral was preached at
Shady Grove, M. E. Church. South, by
Rev. r.. p. Davis and her remains were
laid to rest in the cemetery to await
the resurrection OF the just.
We commend to the bereaved loved
ones the Saviours love and care, and
our deepest sympathy is extended &c
them in this sore affection.
