Mrs. Ben Hillman, Borned June
10Th, 1884, Died January 5th, 1907,
making her stay upon this earth ~
years Ill months and 9 days. She
was laid to rest at Washington
Church, OF which she has been a
member about 4 years. She lived a
CONSTANT Christian life up to the
time of her death. She leaves hus-
band, 4 children, mother and other
relatives and host OF friends TO
mourn her loss. Oh how we will
miss her But it is wrong for us to
grieve when we have hope that she
is basking in the Sunlight of Heaven.
She has gone to meet loved ones that
have gone on before, and is rejoicing
with the Saved forever. We know
that God makes no mistakes but it is
hard for us to part with those who
are near and dear to us in this life.
But we have sweet promise OF
meeting them once more in that land
where neither sickness nor sorrow
nor night ever comes.
Let us all who are left here try to
live better and more consecrated
lives, for we know not what day nor
what hour that our Master will call
us, and we should be ready to answer
his call. Oh! Auntie how we will
miss thee even more than lips can
tell. But this is the Will OF Jesus
and he doeth all things well. There
fore let us trust in Jesus till our tolls
on earth are DER, then we will meet
the dear loved ones whose parting is
no more.
A light from uncle's house gone;
A voice he loved is stilled; A place is
vacant in his home, that never can
be filled.
We can not tell who next may fall
beneath thy Christening rod one must
be first. But let us all prepare to
meet our God.
