FREDERICK.

Death has again invaded our commun
ity and has taken one of our oldest and
highly respected members. Mrs. Hester
A. Spurry, after a long illness, passed
quietly to rest on Thursday evening
aged so years She bore her suffering
with Christian fortitude without a muir
mur and peacefully resigned herself to
the will of the Master. She was a good
neighbor and will not only be missed from
the family circle but by the neighbors as
well. She was devoted mother and had
raised eight children, all of whom are liv-
ing and were present at the funeral. It
was one of her greatest pleasures to have
her children all home at the family re-
unions. Funeral services were held on
Sunday afternoon, Rev. G. W. Bounds
officiating, who paid beautiful tribute to
her memory. The NJ. +. Choir sang sew
eral appropriate selections. Interment
was made in Barratt s Cemetery, H. F.
Mitten directing the funeral The be-
reayed family has our sympathy.
