had not sufficient strength to recover.

service at the church at O'Clock, conduct

hour of peaceful rest, "We may not clint b
| the heavenly sleeps" and ssThe sands of
time are SINKING" Rev. Mr.. Lewis read
| selections from Psalms xiii and xiii and
Rev. xvii and offered prayer. The pastor
gave the funeral address. F. G. Brown, III.

acted as bearers. The flowers were abund
| ant and beautiful. Among them were

the community is taken away and the in

was the shining center calls forth deepest

their son, Clyde Earl, was born. In 1896
| they removed to Barton Landing. Mrs.

the Sunday-school where she taught for
several years and also in the Endeavor
Society. She was president of the Book
and Thimble Club to which she gave much
thought and enthusiasm, and also was a
member of the order of the Eastern Star.
Mrs. Locke was woman of 1are qualities,
Her mind was clear, active and ever eager
for new truth. Socially, she was gracious
presence, full of tact and sweetness. The
law of kindness was on her lips. Her
faith was unwavering and in the darkest
