Mrs j. d. Webb died at her home
near Pike Hill school house about a
quarter. of mile from the Tennessee
Woolen Mills, Saturday night, July
1st, at ten o'clock. She was 50 years
old and is survived by husband and
eight children as follows Harley, Asa
and Everett Webb, of Chattanooga,
Mrs. Ocie Jett of near Ben Lomond,
Hnmp Webb, of McMinnville, Mrs.
Captain Duke, of Nicholson Springs,
and Miss Lillian and Master Jeo who
lived at home with their parents.
Mrs. Webb was a good woman, had
woi ked hard all her life and bad seen
lots of trouble, but on the night mem
toned above God said, "Well done,
thou good and faithful servant, thou
art done with the troubles of this
wicked world, come up higher and
live with Me and enjoy the rest that
is prepared for the people of. God.
She joined the Baptist church when
but IA years old, hence she had spent
a great many years in the service of
her blessed Master, and gave evidence
of christian faith as she told some
one present that she was on her way
happy. Her death was very sudden
as she was considered better until
few moments before the end came.
Only three of the children were pres
ent when she died, those being the
two who lived at home and Everett,
who came from Chattanooga on the
rived in time to see his mother alive
once more. We deeply sympathize
with the heart broken husband and
children, but there is wise and mer-
ciful God who doeth all things we'll.
He alone can heal your sorrow. Take
your troubles to Him, and have that
faith,
"That will not murmur nor complain
Beneath the Christening rod,
But in the hours of grief and pain,
Will lean upon it's God. i"
Oh, what a pleasure to have this
sweet faith in Jesus Now, friends,
raise your dropping heads, take your
sorrow to God and let Him heal the
wounds, and live in way so you will
meet wife and mother on the shores of
eternity, never to say goodby any
more. Funeral services were held at
the residence Monday forenoon, con-
ducte by Rev. L. R. Hogan, follow
ed by burial in Riverside cemetery.
dearest mother, thou hast left us,
And our loss we deeply feel,
But tis God Who has bereft us,
He can all our sorrows heal.
But again we hope to meet you,
When the days of life have fled,
And in Heaven with joy to greet you,
Where no farewell tears are shed.
