tender sympathy and attention to us
in the sad days of our need and sor-

Good Woman.

A Friend Pays Loving tribute 10
Good Woman.
The sable wings of death have
again swept across the horizon OF our
lives and taken from us a gentle
spirit. She was SO years old. She
Joined the Baptist church at Bron-
wood at an early age, and lived a
christian life up to the time OF her
death.
On August 18th the angels whis-
pered for her to go to wear crown
in glory. She shared the sorrow OF
all with whom she came in contact,
and no death has caused more
universal sorrow in our community
than that of dear Mrs. Tucker. She
was loved by all who knew her, and
was living a useful life here on earth,
but the Lord knew best, and called
her to Join him in heaven. The hus-
band and children have lost that
gentle hand that was leading them
along the pathway of life.
Weep not for the departed loved one,
For God knew the best,
10 take away buG uGdl OllC w IAiNC
Happy land of sweet rest.
Willis, be prepared to meet her
In that happy home above,
Where there's nothing but happiness,
In that sweet home up above.
Alma, God had band in heaven
That was not quite complete,
So he called your dear mother
To take the vacant seat.
1t was hard to give her up,
And to know that she was gone,
But how happy to know that she
Is around the happy throne.
Farewell, dear husband and children,
For l am in peaceful rest.
How glorious it is to be pillowed
On my Savior's breast.
