DEATH OF AN OLD LADY.
Mrs. Sarah Jane Turpen Peacefully
Passed Over the Dark River
of Death.
FUNERAL SERVICES BY REV. ]. c. COOK.

Last Tuesday afternoon at o'clock,
the subject of this notice, after an i'll
ness of several years, closed her eyes
in death. She was IS years old, and
had lived an exemplary life from ac-
countability down to good old age. In
early girlhood she confessed her Savior,
united with the Separate Baptist
Church, in Russell county, and was a
devoted Christian until the end came
She was sister of Rev VIM. H. Alb
sher, who was noted Baptist minister
of this county, and who was highly re-
spected for his Christian character.
In 1S43, sixty-four years ago, she
was married to Mr.. Solomon Turpen
and as a result of the union eight
children were born, five of whom are
living. More than twenty years ago
she became resident of Columbia, her
Christian life beiug aften spoken of by
her neighbors
To the husband, who is now in his
S4th year we desire to extend our SYM
pathy, as he will lead lonely life until
he is called to his reward. The children
are strong men and women, and while
they were devoted to their mother,
they can bear the separation more
calmly than the faithful husband who
Is rapidly descending the hill of Time.
The funeral services were conducted
by Rev. J. C. Cook and the interment
was in the city cemetery.

Mr.. G. WHIT FLOWERS,
One Of Adair County's Best Citi.
zens, Succumbs to the In.
evitable.
HIS DEATH A SHOCK TO THE COUNTY.

The citizens of Columbia were pain
fully shocked last Friday, about the
noon hour, when telephone message
announced the death of Mr.. G.. Whit
Flowers, one of the best and most USE
full citizens of Adair county. The end
came at his country home, near Bliss,
about five miles from this place. 1t
had been known for a week that Mr..
Flowers was dangerously i'll, but his
wife, children and physicians had hopes
of his recovery up to last Friday fore
noon, at which time alarming symptoms
set up, and in few hours he calmly
met his God.
TIE deceased was about seventy
years of age and he had large acquaint-
ance throughout Adair county. In fact
it has often occurred to us that every
body knew Whit Flowers. He was jo-
vial, honest in the strictest sense of the
word, at all times for the right, God
loving and God fearing man; neighhor
who will be greatly missed for the good
he had done-for his loving devotion to
the companion of his bosom, and for the
affectionate devotion to five dutiful
sons-W. H., John W., Ernest, Wood
ruff and Ray.
When the Civil War broke out, the
deceased espoused the cause of the
Union and enliste ed in t he
18th Kentucky infantry, and was made
Adjutant of the regiment, with the
rank of Lieutenant. He served gallantly
from the beginning until the ending of
that bloody strife.
Many years ago he made profession
of his faith in Christ, united with the
Presbyterian church, and was devoted
member of the congregation at this
place when his life ended. In the pass
ing of Mr. Flowers, Adair county has
sustained a great loss.
Mr.. Flowers was Master Mason,
member of Gradyville Lodge, but he
stated to Gov. Hindman some time be-
fore his demise, that he did not want
sany parade made over his body when
his life's work ended, and that he want
ed him-a lifelong friend, to officiate
at his funeral.
The funeral services were held at Un-
ion Church Saturday afternoon, large
circle of relatives and friends being
present. The religious services were
conducted by Rev. w. H. C. Sandidge,
assisted by Rev. ]. F. Claycomb and
ED. 2. T. Williams. When the minis
tiers concluded, Gov. j. r. Hindman,
Mr.. C. H. Yates, DR.. ]. H. Grady and
Capt. w. w. Bradshaw made talks,
dwelling upon the noble life and high
Christian character of the deceased.
At the conclusion all that was mortal of
this good man was laid to rest in Un-
ion cemetery, his body resting under
bed of flowers. Peace to his memory,
the tenderest sympathy for the sorrow.

storm, lightning struck two favorite

in the corner of the yard cannot sur

and Mrs. Hindman were considerably
shaken, and the colored hired woman
was knocked down.
