died Friday OF last week, at Shirleyton,
the home Of her mother, Mrs. Polly
Station, after long and lingering
spell OF sickness. She was born jan

Embraced hope in Christ when n young
girl, Joined the Missionary Baptist
Church of Christ at Hickory Grove with
her husband, A. W. White, on the
fourth Saturday in October, 1888. She
lived a Jealous, devoted and consistent
christian life. Tue death-bed scene
was, indeed, a sad one as it filled our
sad hearts with anguish to part from
such dear friend. Around the bed
stood her two children, brothers and
sisters and number Of friends, gazing
into her pallid face with tear dimmed
eyes as she breathed her last. She was
evidently conscious to the last, but not
able to talk in her last hour on account
of weakness OF body. When she was
able to talk, it gave nor great pleasure
to converse in regard to the Christian
life and the Saviour she so deyotedly
loved and served. Knowing her life as
1t was, have every reason to believe
that she has entered that rest "that re-
maineth to the people Of God"
The funeral services were conducted
Saturday at IL o'clock at the White
cemetery near Hickory Grove by Rev
A. K Price OF KImbrostoh, Mo. Tht
Services were very impressive. Quite
