splendid conversationalist, vivacious
and tactful. She never had any chill
dren, but her step-children and their
little ones have shared Loyalty in her
naturally warm and loving heart. Of
medium height, and, unfortunately
never of robust health, she was still
active in her charitable deeds. She
was loved and honored by all who
knew her, and literally adored by
those of her household. Proof is found
IN the devotion of two negro women
who have been with her for consider
ably over thirty years, who watched
over Miss Augusta as thew low
lngly called her, as though she was a
child, more rapid tenderly, if DOS
slble, because of her failing eyesight.
which rendered her more dependent.
Serenely resting in the loving care
which was about her, conscious of her
well-spent life, and of devoting her
God-g1ven talents to the best of her
ability, and confident of its good, she
spent the evening of her life in beau
tiful, quiet and ideal peace, like the
soft mellow sunset of a perfect sum-
mer day, which gently deepened to
the Eternal Night.
