On the evening of March 2,
Mrs. Mary Catherine Steen
Russell, at her home in Clinton,
faced the enigma that the world
calls death, but which to the
Christian is only a transition to a
blissful and everlasting repose.

oldest daughter of Carroll and
Margaret Steen, In 1869 she
was married to Jeremiah Porter

for thirth-eight years united
their interests, their pleasures
and their disappointments. To
them were born thirteen child
rem, two of whom had gone be-
fore to welcome their mother into
the land Of happy greetings.
The family had dWelt in Rankin
county till a few months ago,
when they moved to Clinton on
account Of the superior educate
onal surroundings to be found
there.

ed parents, and being a sharer
in the religion of the Galileean,
are two things that always
adorn the human character with
beautiful and noble traits. Both
of these Mrs. Russell could claim,
for she was Of a family Of stirling
qualities, and in her early
Womanhood she surrendered her
self to the Savior, As a result
her life was such as to make all
