MAMIE DOW.

Mamie Dow, a daughter of
VIM, E. and Francis Brooks, OF
Mathews County, died Aug. IS,
1908, .in-the thirty-thirty year of
her age. -,-,v :..j g.
She became a christian in early
life. and united with the church
at the.agessof fourteen. She was
loved.iand. honored by all who
knew her. l count the many Wis
its / made to her bedside in her
last illness as blessings to me, for
her faith was SO strong, through
all-of the severe suffering that a
lesson of submission was learned
by all who visited her am sure.
She was happily married to F. w
Dow in 1896 and. made her home
in Baltimore until her health
failed, then she travelled from
place to place seeking health but
grew weaker all the time, until
she felt that she must come back
to her native county and die in
the midst of her loved ones. AZ
ter she had become too weak TO
talk, she wrote a few lines and
placed them under her pillar stating
This day theLord is calling me, "
also quoted The Lord rs fnylight
and my salvation whom shall i
fear the Lord is the strength OF
my life of whom shall be afraid. >.
these and other similar quotations
were found often. she was at rest
in the presence of her Savior.
A husband and one,child is left
to mourn her loss and we trust
they may so live astu take place
with their loved one in the church
triumphant.
