Obituary.

Mrs. Jennie McClister, wife of
Herschel B. McClister, after a
protracted illness, borne with
Christian patience and fortitude
died at her home near Fairplay
Feb. 3 1911 The cause of her death
was consumption. All was done
for her that loving hands could
do but God saw it best to take
her away and we bow in humble
submission to Him who doeth all
things well.
She was born June L. 1877 was
the oldest daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Crawford 10y who preceded
her to the home above. She pro-
fessed faith in Christ early in life
and united with the M. E. Church
South of which church she was a
consistent member until h r
death.
1t can be truly said of her that
the world was made better be-
cause she lived in it. In her
home she was a model wife, a
true mother, and a neghbor in
whom all hadthe utmost faith. We
can not better express the beau
ty of her life than to use the
words of her father who on his
death bed had called his children
around him to give them a faith
er's last council he said, Jennie
contiue to live as you have lived"
The day of her death she call
ed her friends and loved ones O
her bed side and after assuring
them of her willingness and read
mess to go she said, l am going
home today, and toward the close
of the day she fell asleep in that
peace which the world can n t
give or take away.
She is survived by husband
and four children a brother and
sister many relatives and friends
who dee ply feel the loss Of one
so dear.
But why do We mourn departed friends
Or quake at deaths alarms?
IT'S but the voice that Jesus sends,
To call them to his arms.
May all the surviving men,
bers of the ia mily be prepared to
meet the depar ted one in that
divinely prepared place.
Funeral services were conduct
ed by Rev G. R. Abrel assisted
by Rev. j. F. Roach after which
the remains were laid to rest i n
the McClister burying ground.
A precious one from US has gone,
A voice we loved is still;
A place is vacant in our home,
Which time can never fill.
Yet again, we hope to meet dear
Jennie
When the spark of life has fled,
And in heaven with joy to greet her,
Where no farewell tears are shed.
A Cousin.

full criminal advocate, who has been
