Ia Mem0riam.

Jones Hart, the particulars of
which were published in The
News of last week. there went
out from jamestown a most
lovable Christian character, a
happy home broken up, and the
hearts of father, sisters and
brother were almost broken. A
heart full of love for tho Sc who
were dear to her by the ties of
blood,she was ever ready to share
their burdens and to tenderly
administer to their wants, hence
it is hard to realize that she has
gone from among them. The
poet says there is no death-it is
only separation, and, doubtless,
after while those whose hearts
are now bleeding on account of
this} sad dispensatjon of Provi-
dence will be made to under
stand why this noble life was
taken. We are taught in the
Scriptures that those who are
pure in heart shall see God. and
no living person who wasacquaint-
ed with the deceased's daily walk,
but knows that she was ready
for her Masters call. In fact,
while she was undergoing the
severest pain from burns receiv-
ed, she told those who stood
about her bedside that she could
not recover, and asked that re-
storitives be not used, that she
was ready to meet her Savior.
What fortitute! how encouraging
to the living loved ones! While
she will be sadly missed, the
greatest burden has fallen upon
the father, who was with her
daily, she being his housekeeper
and the sunshine of his home.
The funeral services were held
in the church and were conduct
ed by ED. z. T. Williams, of the
Christian Church. The building
was crowded with friends who
were there full of sympathy and
to pay their respects to one they
loved in life.
Nearly the entire congregation
went to the cemetery, and when
the vast throng left the grave,
Corinne was sleeping under a
bed of flowers.
Corinne Jones Hart was born
August %, 1881, died April "a,
1911. When quite a girl she pro-
fessed her faith in Christ and
united with the Christian church.
She was married to w. S. Hart. a
young attorney, November II,
1904. Her husband died Novem-
Der 20, 1905. She was the
second daughter of G. F. and
