With regret | record the death of one
of our most honored lady friends, Mrs.
Martha Mccoy, who has been afflicted
for so long. She was treated by the
very best of skilled physi clans at Nash
vile and other places. but in spite of
of the eth Of this month, it pleased
the God of heaven to call her from
earth to better home, where all is
peace and pleasure, where disease and
pain never enter She lived with her
son-in-law at Altamont at the time of
her death, Elijah Shrum. Her re-
mains were brought to the Shrum
graveyard for burial where awaited
large assembly to take a last look at
one so near and dear to them. The We
hicle that bore the corpse was driven
by John Shrum, and another brought
her two daughters, Mrs. Reta Shrum
and Mrs. Polite Tate, and also Lige
Shrum and D. NJ. Tate, both sons-in
law of the deceased and husbands of
her bereaved daughters. 1t was a
most heart-rending scene to see the
tears running down the cheeks of the
to their dear mother so long. At a
bout half past four in the afternoon,
Rev. L. F. Tate opened the services
and made nice talk on the occasion.
After the service was over the body
was entombed and many flowers were
laid on the grave. We would say to
the bereaved children to not grieve for
we feel assured that mother is at rest
with the angels of heaven, where we
should all strive to make our home af-
ter death.
