as TO be near medical aid. All that
loving hands could do was done for
her comfort and all that medical aid
Lcould administer. But all to no avail.
| Her life work was ended and God has
taken her home. She was a lady of
advanced years and one of the old
est residents OF this section of the
county. She was a good Christian wo-
man, a member OF the Baptist church
here and had led a useful life. She
leaves an aged husband and FIVE chill

number of relatives and friends to
mourn for her. She was laid to rest
in the Methodist cemetery on Monday

course of people and the handsome
floral offerings at the grave show the
esteem in which she was held. We
extend our sympathy to the bereaved
ones and pray God may guide their
footsteps SO they may meet the loved
wife and mother in the beautiful home
beyond, where they is no sorrow, part
ing or pain.
