Readers, Who Have Answered

ALL SEASONS ARE THINE, o DEATH.
SMITH.

Miss Mary E. G. Smith, a sis.
ter of Hon. Geo. A. Smith, a prom
inent lawyer, formerly a resident
of this place, died at her home
near Kogersvllle, Tenn, on Tues.
day, the 4th inst, in the 77th year
of her age. She was born at the
old Smith homestead, north of
Fort Littleton, but during the
last 35 years has resided near
Rogersville, Tennessee, where
she greatly endeared herself to
many friends and nelghbors. The
life of her sainted mother termi-
mated there d few years ago, and
all that was mortal of her sleeps
in the soil of Tennessee. Her ia
ther, an honored minister of the
M. E. church, finished his earthly
career in this county, where his
body rests in hope of the resur-
rection. In addition to her broth
er, Geo. A. Smith, she is survived
by two sisters, Miss Rebecca L
Smith, in Tennessee, and Fran.
ces A., wife of Rev. w. M. Cline,
of Fort Llttleton.
Miss Mary was a member of
the Methodist church South, and
the principles of the Christian re.
ligion imbibed in early youth
from pious parents, made 1t easy
In deaths houc to say, "Though
1 pass through the valley of the
shadow of death, | Will fear no
evil; for Thou art with me. Thy
rod and Thy staff they comfort
me-"
HENRY r. BREWER.
Henry r. Brewer died at his
home in Belfast township, on
Thursday of last week after
short illness. While we have no
means of ascertainlng his exact
age, he was somewhere IN the
seventies. His funeral took place
on Saturday and his remains
were laid to rest IN the cemetery
atthe SldellngHlllBaptlst church.
Mr.. Brewer was a son of the late
GeorgeBrewer, of Brewers Mill,
Thompson township. He has one
sister living, Dorothy Ann, wife
of Daniel Covalt, Esq, and one
half brother, John G. Brewer, Of
Kansas City.
His wife, who was Louvinla
Covalt, and later the widow of
William Slpes, survives him, as
does their daughter, the wife of
McCaulay McEldowney. The
following from the pen of one of
his nelghbors, is a deserving trlb
ute to most morthy citizen.
SIN the death of Henry r.
Brewer, which occurred Jan. 20,
1910, there is removed from our
community man of the most ex.
emplary type.
Quiet, unpretentious, INDUS
trious, honest, kind of heart, and
according his life as nearly as
possible to the golden rule, he
certainly set an example, which
everyone shouldstrive to emulate.
Who can know when the ipfiu.
ence Of his quiet, unassum ming
strictly moral life, will cease to
be felt by the neighborhood In
which he resided? Generous to
a fault, his hospitality was genu-
inc; and it was shared equally by |
the young as well as by their Ell.
ders.
His silent unspoken approval
has often proved an inspiration |
for young people to lead better |
lives. While his religious con-
vlctlons were strong, he was very |
tolerant with the views of others,
always avoiding any vexatlous
disputes, but maintaining an IN
flexible stand on the side he
deemed right. 1t can truly be
said in the case of Mr.. Brewer,
sit is not death, It's but a strug.
gle ended" for no one can tell |
when his influence will cease 70
exist" B. w. Il.
