Mrs Ida Gertrude Weir. wife OF Mr.. V. Angus
tns Weir of sledge Miss died at the home Of
her mother Mrs. Elizabeth Pickett, at Gait
man, Miss. on June 7th, 1906.
Mrs. Weir was born and reared in Monroe
County Mississippi where her friends are num-
bered by her acquaintance. for to know her
meant to love and admire her. BY nature she
possessed a sweetness of disposition that is un-
excelled and seldom equaled. She was pure un
selfish. generous to the faults of her friends.
quiet, reserved and innocent.
She was devoted and consistent member of
the Methodist Church and faithful and earnest
worker in the Sabbath School. Hers was a
beautiful christian character, patient. sincere
fruitful of good works. and kind and loving
words and noble deeds. She loved Gods house
and His people and delighted in working in
the vineyard of the Lord" She literally
endowed with all those attractive attributes and
lovable inclnations which are essential 10 the
makeup OF true womanhood and to a genuine
christian life.
Mrs. Weir. formally known as Miss Ida Puck
ett." was married to Mr. Augustus Weir of
Sledge, Miss. Oct. "a. 1905. This happy union Of
hearts and hands seemed to have been ordered
by the breath OF God but He who maketh no
mistakes hath seen fit to pluck this fair flower
from the earthly garden and transplant it in the
His and He has a right to do what He wills with
His own. She was one of his rarest gems
earth, but he had gone to prepare place for
her, and when He bade her come home" she
willingly and obediently closed her eyes gently
and went to her reward. She is not dead but
sleepeth to awake on the morning OF the resur-
rection in the likeness and glory of her Redeem
er She loved her friends and lived for their
comfort and JOY but at the last when she came
to face death it was with absolute composure
and perfect trust in her Saviour hesitating on
the brink only because of the pain her passing
over would bring to her loved ones Thus she
linked heaven and earth by her desire to depart
and be with her Lord, and by intense love for
those of earth. She undoubtedly possessed many
magnetic charms both of person and of charac-
ter. and her deeds of kindness and acts of chari-
ty will linger as precious memories in the minds
of those who knew her best and to whom she so
cheerfully ministered. Her life, therefore, was
not only a blessing to her home and her church,
but a sweet benediction TO the entire community
in which she lived. She has left vacant a place
that never can be filed. She has left void in
many aching hearts who live in the fond hope
of meeting her again whose soul has already en-
tered into the glorious presence of her blessed
Lord. May she as she indeed does, rest from
her labors and have the JOY OF seeing her works
follow her.
She leaves a fond husband. two devoted broth
ers, a loving mother and sister, and host OF adj
miring friends to mourn her loss. To these we
tender our warmest sympathies in this great be-
reavement. and commend them to loving Sa
vior who worketh all things for good to them
that love him.
Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall
see God FRIEND.
