Near the breaking of the dawn. on Monday morning, August 20, 1908, while the shadows of the night were fleeing the soul of that lovely woman whom We knew in life as Lyetia Ussery, wife of J. H. Mcdaniel. passed into the morning of glorious inn mortality. She was born in this county, and was a member of one of the oldest and most prominent fam flies Of the county. Her parents en- tered into their rest many years ago. For twenty-six years she had trod the pathway of this life. She had filled the position of dutiful daughter, a loving sister, a lovely friend, true and faithful wife and devoted mother. She was a member of the Christian church. and lived consistent Chris tian life For many weeks she had been in bad health, but her family and friends had hoped that her life would be spared, but il was not to be. God in His infinite wisdom, knew best. Her remains were carried back to the old home place, and there, in the family burial ground, they laid her to rest.
 The hand of sorrow has been laiC heavily upon the grief stricken family Only one mnnth ago belovhd sister fell asleep in Jesus, and now, so soon another crushing blow in the death o this beloved sister. May God in Hi mercy, give her loved ones strengtl to bear it. It is with tear dimmeC eyes that we think of the little bo. and girl bereft forever and beyond even death itself, like divine, mus remain unchanged forever.
