made a heavenly flight with the
soul Of their daughter Miss Ma
ME who has been a great suffer
er of a dreadful and incuraole
disease since last Xmas day,
though weak in body she grew
stronger in the grace of God and
bore her affections ten months
With the hope of reaching the
summit of good health again but
in the last few days she saw the
end was drawing near and said
she was ready and prepared, to
join the celestial host and asked
the following hymns to be sung
at her funeral.
"a City OF Gold," Sometime
Well understand evil there
be any stars in heaven
The funeral exercises were
conducted by Rev. J. II. Noland
assisted by Rev. Tolar in the
methodist church where a large
congregation had gathered to
pay their last sad rites, that
which only the living can pay
the dead. The burial was made
at the family burying grounds,
where a large possession had fol
lowed the remains to it's resting
place in the city of the dead, the
floral designs were beautiful and
many. Death never touches the
shores of remembrance;existen
reigns supreme there. Verdant
with the foliage of perpetuity
it is sweet to cherish the thought
of eternity that we never die,
that growing weary we simply
place our head on the bosom of
Mother nature and sink to rest
and peace.
A better girl neyel: breathed
as a sister, daughter, friend and
christian and every tear that
was shed spoke thoughts of re-
membrance and every flower
placed upon the mound of clay
was symbolic of her grand traits
of character. The deceased was
in her twentieth year and leaves
to mourn her loss Mother, Fa'
ther' Sister and two brothers
and acquaintance by the score.
$50 live that when thy summons
comes to join.
The innumerable caravan that moves
To that mysterious realm where each
shall take
His chamber in the silenthalls of death,
Thou 60 not like the quarry slave al
night,
Scourged to his dungeon but sustained
and soothed
By an unfaltering trust approach thy
grave
Like one who wraps the drapery of hi:
couch
A bout bin and lies down to pleasant
Dreams
