survives.

Mrs. Virginia Addison, whose
name has been loved and honored
since the memory all the present
generation, has passed out to that
haven of rest towards which all
earthly pilgrims are travelling. Mrs,
Addison had reached the age after
which the scriptures tell US there is
but labor and sorrow, but she had
continued her daily duties which
she loved mp to fortnight before
her death. She had always been a
comfort in her home, and in the
whole community. For years there
was not sick or suffering one that
she did not minister to in life and
lament in death. She had been the
solace to hundreds of broken heart
ed friends and neighbors as the
years had come and gone. AS long
as she had the strength, she was
one of the most active members Of
the Baptist church, and was always
in her place until the feebleness of
age made her going impossible.
She was of very sociable disposi-
tion and loved the company of her
friends.
Mrs. Addison raised a large fam
lily of children, but at the time Of
her death had in the home with her
but two who are still unmarried, ,Jno.
l. Addison and Miss Virginia. Be-
sides these two there are Mrs. Rose
Murrell of Florida, Messrs. Joseph,
Walter, and Bacon Addison, and a
number of grandchildren.
The funeral obsequies took place
at the Baptist church on Thursday
the 18th at noon, DR.. M. D. Jefries
officiating.
Many beautiful flowers and de-
signs covered the casket and show
ed the esteem in which this dear
friend was held by the community.
Her remains were laid to rest in our
village cemetery by the side of her
husband the late John L. Addison
ESQ.,, whose memory is honored in
