The Indictment Of the cots

Died in her home at Banner
Elk, N. G., on the 7th day of
July. 1905, Mrs. Pattie Ban.

The funeral was conducted
by Rev. W. A. Newell, assist
ed by Rev. Edgar Tufts, af-
ter which her body was laid
to rest by the side OF her hus
band in the grave yard at
Banner Elk. A large congre
cation and many floral trib.
utes spoke eloquently OF how
she WAS appreciated and low.
ed by rela tives and friends.
Born in Forsyth county N.
G., on July 21st, 1851, her
parents, Mr., and Mis-. Mark.
ham Banner, moved to Wa
tauga county when she was
a mere child. Early in life she
gave her heart to GCd, and
united with the. Methodist
church. On the 9th day OF
March, 1880, she was united
in marriage to Mr.. Thomas
j. Prof1itt. The Lord bright
ened their home with seven
children. six OF whom are
still living.
1t would be hard to ind a
life that daily bore m ore
"fruit OF the Spirit" t h a n
hers did. Her love for h e
home, family and neighbors
was free from all selfishness.
II she had an enemy no one
knew it, for she was ne ver
heard to speak evil of any
one. During her long illness,
she was never heard to COM
plain or murmur, Fresh in
the memory Of many a trav.

that talways characterized her
home. But her love for home
and the the things of this life
did not quench her love 70
God. She fed upon His word
and often coinmuned wi t h
Him in prayer. Over and
over again did she tel! the
loved ones around her bed,
that she was not afraid to
die, Tor her Savior was with
her. At times she was heard
to quote precious passag'
from Gods Holy Word
and once while the cold hand
of death seemed upon her,
she sang in a clear. S wee
