Death of Il Good Woman.
Our community was saddened last
Thursday little after the noon hour
when 1t was learned that the quiet,
gentle spirit of Mrs. j. l.. Glenn had
winged It's flight to Him who loved
her better than we. She was found
dead in her yard, and the fact that
none of her children were with her
at the time seems, If possible, sad
der than If they could have minister
ed to her in her last hour. Death
must have come to her instantane-
ously and as swift as sDuffing out a
candle, for there was no evidence of
any struggle. That morning she
seemed In her usual good health
when her unmarried son, John, who
was living with her, left to attend a
singing school at the Baptist church,
little realizing he would never see
his mother again. Her death was
due to paralysis Of the heart. Mrs.
| Glenn was the daughter Of the late
Samuel Isbell and at the time of her
death was living at the home where
she was born and reared, having first
seen the light April Cd, 1843. She
professed faith in early life and lived
up to her profession, joining the Bap-
tist church and living a consecrated
Christian life. In December, 1861,
| she was happily married to ]. L..
Glenn, who preceded her to the
| Great Beyond in January, 1895. To
this union were born six sons and
three daughters, all being present at
| the funeral. They are Edgar Sam
uel, Robert, John, Pet, Curtis, and
the daughters, Mrs. Tugaloo Knox,
Mrs. Newt. Richardson and Mrs. Ode
| Richardson. We would commend
the dear children into the hands Of
our kind Heavenly Father, "who
doeth all things WE'LL" and may the
God of peace comfort and sustain
| them in this sad dispensation of
providence. Mrs. Glenn leaves, be-
sides her devoted children and grand
| children and a host OF friends, one
| sister, Mrs r. e. Mason, of Char
lotte. N. G. To them all we would
offer this word of consolation: She
| Is at lest; she was SO well prepared
to meet God that 1t was only short
step from this life to be with Him.
How infinitely happier is she now
with her Saviour whom she knew so
well.
Her body was laid to rest In the
Beaverdam cemetery on Friday af-
ternoon at o'clock, in the presence
of a large number of sorrowing
| friends and relatives. The services
were conducted by the pastor, Rev.
J. G.. Graham b. w.
