In Meuuorian

In loving remembrance Of our dear
br lthsr William Clarence Weller who
departed this life Jaa. /, 1907.
Through all pain at times he'd smile,
A smile Of heavenly firth,
And whsn the angels called him home,
He smiled farewell to earth.
Heaven retaineth now our treasure,
Earth the lonely casket keeps,
And the sunbeams love to linger
Where our sainted brother sleeps.
When you leave this world Of changes
When you leave this world Of care,
You shall find your missing loved one
In your Fathers mansion fair.
Not dead, the one of your affection,
Bat gone unto that better school;
He no longer needs protection,
There Jesus Christ alone doth rule.
A fair saint you will behold him,
Clothed ia pure celestial white;
Tae beauties Of his soul expanded,
Standing by the throne of light.
From this world of sin and strifes
Oh tits in world of beauty where
thou rt in everlasting life.
Safe, there art thou, never more to
sh "a tear,
Ever safe from fear or harm, Oh,
there We'll find our precious one
encircled IN our Saviour's arms,
Peaceful is the thought that when
this life is DER,
Heaven is precious haven where
we'll find peace foreyermore.
Call not back the dear departed,
Anchored safe where storms are over;
Ga the border-land we left him,
Soon to meet and part no more.

Mrs. Margaret Ann Eversole.

While there remained only rev
short hours to complete the year 1870
the soul of Mrs. Margaret A. Eversoie

daughter of William d. and Jane VIII
son, and passed most of her life in Ber-
kelley County near Little Georgetown

a great reader of the Holy Scriptures,
making special study of those sacred
pages. The more she studied, the
deeper became her conviction and the
firmer her faith in the Great Master
whom she so willingly and joJfully
served. She was most though ful and
self sacrificing, deVoting herself 10 the
welfare and comforts of the dear ones
that were about her. She took partic-
uar interest in the affairs of The
United Daughters of the Confederscy'
of which she was an active member.
