In memory of our dear mother,
who was called away to be with
Jesus Jan IA, 1909 at about 3
O'Clock A. M. Dear mother al.
ways said that when her time
came to die, that she did not
want to suffer long. Jesus was
kind and did not let her suffer but
four days.
She was born May 80. 1852, and
was married to Charles w. Hud-
gins Jan. IL. IS-. Ten children
came to bless their union of whom
six preceded her to the better
land some years ago.
She gave her heart 10 God in
early girlhood and united with St.
Pauls Nj. Z. Church South and
remained a CONSTANT member
until she was called TO her reward.
She was kind and indulgent
mother and a loving and tender
wife. She delighted in minister
ing 10 those who were in trouble
and distress. kind TO every one
who came to her door. She told
us that she was not afraid to die.
Mother is not dead but liveth.
Her funeral services were COR
Quoted by Rev. Geo. E. Thomas,
as Rev. Mr.. Laughton at St. PauI's
Church. she was gently laid to
rest with Nettie and Norman. in
st. PaurS Cemetery. Farewell
dear mother until we clasp hands
in the City of God. We do not
sorrow as those who hear no hope
and by the grace of God we will
press on until our Savior shall
say. enough is done come no
higher.
She leaves a husband, four
children. one sister. four brothers
and a host of friends and relatives
to mourn their loss.
Sleep on dear Mother,
Sleep and take thy rest,
Lay down thy head upon thy Savior's
breast,
We love thee well.
But Jesus loves thee best,
Goodnight, Farewell.

in which they express theiS strong
disapproval of the attack made
by the Richmond Journal spou
the past career of Judge Mann,

Had these charges been eisculat-

been made known generally

served through the was with dis
tinction and afterward returned
to Portsmouth. There he prac-
ticed law for two years and then
accepted a position as teacher.
While teaching he occupied chairs

was forced TO stop on account Of
his health. He then moved to
