Death of Mrs. r. A. McCollum

The immortal spirit Of Mrs. r. A. Nc
Collum passed to the beautiful land Of
light and love Thursday night, Septem-
Der ID, 1909. at 0:30 o'clock.
She had been in bad health for some
time, but suffered very much for week
before she died. Yet she bore all her
Affections with Christian fortitude and
patience. During her sickness she was
perfectly submissive to her Master
will. His glory shone in her face.
She is survived by her husband, two
daughters and two sisters, several grand
children and a host of relatives to
mourn her death.
She professed hope in Christ when a
young girl, and united with the Metho-
dist church some forty-two years ago,
and since then she did what she could
for His cause. She lived a Christian
life, and scattered love and sunshine in
her home and abroad. She was sweet,
self-sacrificing wife and loving
mother.
Most of her life was devoted to the
comfort of her family. she was ever
ready to help cheer and brighten the
pathway of her many friends. Her
friends stood by her until her Father
called her from her earthly home to the
Celestial Home above. Her husband
and daughters will miss her. Their
home will be vacant without her. Their
hearts are made sad, but they are
striving to follow the sweet, pure ex-
ample she left behind her. Some day
they will meet her in the beautiful
land where there are no more sad fare
wells.
Rev. II. G. Emory conducted the
funeral services Saturday morning at
IL o'clock, at Trickum, where the re-
mains were laid to rest. The casket
was literally covered with beautiful
flowers. A FRIEND.
