OBITUARY

On the eighteenth day of Dec ember, 1912, the d e h angel came for sister Bertha Firth and took her into the presence of God. Sister Firth was born Feb. 1851. hence would have been 62 years old her next birthday. She was converted in 1868 and joined Eel lowship Missionary B apt i s t Church. She was married to Bro. J. w. Firth Dec. 1871.
 Sister Firth with her family came to Arkansas about 1893. and united with Union Mission ary Baptist Church, by letter in 1894 there l V e d consistent member until death. Having been faithful Christian ever at tending the house of God, this Union loses a dear nember. She was faithful, consecrated Wife and mother, and loved her church like her own home. The life she lived shall never die, the influ- ence and advice thrown around children and friends will contin- ue to grow. She is gone but not forgotten. though dead yet she liveth. :" She passed away quiet ly to join the heavenly host. She leaves a husband and four child ren, her church, pastor, a n d friends who sympathize with them, but our loss is her gain. lis sweet to think of livlHg to- gethe4 again in a house lot made with hands eternal Tn n eI heavens. Her natural body was laid to rest in the Union Ceme- tery to await the resurrection.
