whole com munity was shocked by
the announcement that Miss
Mary G. Patterson had passed
peacefully away at 8 o'clock A.
M. Some two months or more
ago she suffered from an attack
of grippe from which she seemed
to partly recover, yet it had so
depleted her vital force and great
ly aggravated some heart weak
ness that she soon relapsed into
very serious heart complication
which her physicians were un-
able to overcome; and after an ILL
ness of about five weeks, in which
every thing was done that could
be done 10 save and prolong USE
full life, the inevitable came.
Miss Mary was a memb Der of
the United Presbyterian church,
and a lady of more than ordinari-
ly high endowments, and lived a
very active lite, always engaged
IN some kind of religious or be-
pevolent work. At the time of
her death she was president of
"Sewing Guild" which she was
instrumental some two or more
years ago in organizing in this
community, and which has for
it's object the relief and help of
the destitute. She was for many
years treasurer of the Presby-
terial Women's Missionary Socie-
ty receiving and paying out the
benevolent funds of all the socie.
ties of the Presbytery. This Of
fee she filed until failing strength
compelled her to relinquish it,
She was a great worker IN her
own congregation. During the
whole of the present pastorate Of
nearly twenty years she was a
very efficient teacher in the Sab.
bath school having charge most
of this time of the primary de-
partment. In the Young People s
Societies she was alike efficient
and helpful. In the Women s
Missionary Society she always
took a deep interest and was pres
ident of the society at the time OF
her death. And in every worthy
effort in the congregation she was
always ready to take a leading
part. But her work IN the earth
ly sanctuary is done. "Well done
good and faithful servant" In
the grace of her personal charac
ter she was beautiful. Possessed
of a high sense of honor, a heart
full of sympathy and keen regard
for the rights and interests of ev'
cry one, she was respected, es'
teemed and loved by all who knew
her.
The funeral services on Sab.
bath afternoon were conducted
by her pastor, Rev. j. L. Grove,
assisted by Revs. G. M. Smith,
and S. B. Houston.
The mark of esteem in which
she was held was marked by the
great concourse of people and the
rich floral tributes by the hands
of loving friends.
A touching incident in the ex-
ercises was the attendance of her
Sabbath school class assembling
at the casket and each one laying
the tribute of a beautiful flower
upon it,
Interment was made in the
Union cemetery, where the body
still united to Christ shall rest
till His loving voice shall announce
the morning of the glorious day
of the Lord.
