 ~ LIFE OF DECEASED.
 Miss Mary Jane Thornburg was born in Lancaster, Ohio, March 23, 1885, and with her parents came to Arkansas in 1855. Her | first home was in Smithville, where her life was spent until l 1880. when Newport became her >ne.
 3eceased became a mem-
 he ethodist church in
 d waA always a staunch
 pationalNt, but the beauty DE christian lifoa was never lowed by creed preference or eiudice. Though ever a loyal worker in her own church, such confines were not boundaries to her zeal. Among the poor, in- cluding those in need of fellow sympathy and encouragement, she found delight in this blessed service and her own character came out of loves labors richly garnished in those attributes that cannot but be admired.
 In the words of Cicero: Death is dreadful to the man, whose all is extinguished with his life, but not to him whose glory cannot die" The good deeds and kind acts of charity of this beloved woman, the glory of her life live on in the memories of those who knew her to better and uplift other lives.
 The deceased leaves one son, our fellow townsman George A. Hillhouse, two brothers, Ely !, Thornburg of West Plains, Mo-, and George Thornburg of Little Rock, and a sister, Mrs. Bettie Burns of Smithville.
 The many that mourn would offer a need of consolation to those bound by strongest ties to the memory of the lamented in -en expression of their sy pathy Yand in their kindred grief would assure the loved ones of the re- ward awaiting the departed.
