Gone to Her Reward.

Conc to Her Reward.
Following an illness Of s,.nle months,
Mis-. P>st;ie (i~owry) Cade, aged seventy
years, died last Friday morning at three
O'Clock, at the plantation home of her
eldest daughter, Mrs. J. NJ. Sentel, the
intermenc following Saturday in Belle
vue Cemetery.
Mrs. Cade was for many years resi-
dent OF this parish, but resided for sew
eral years in Ouachita Parish and
short time in Texas. For some time past
she had made her home in Caddo Parish
with her daughter. She was born May
3, 1913, in East Feliciana Parish, and
was a daughter of J. A. w. and Sarah
Elzineth Lowry, and sister of our
lamented friend who bore his fathers
full name.
On July 10, 1865, she was united in
marriage at Bellevue to John w. Cade,
whose parents resided on what is now
known as the Many place, in Ward
Five. AS result Of the union three
children were born, two of whom survive
her. They are Mrs. Sentell and Mrs.
G. H. Wheaton. The third child and
only son, John Augustus Cade, died July
81, 1900, in his twenty-third year. Her
husband died in San Antonio, Texas,
during 1876 or 1877, only few days
after going there with his family for the
benefit of his health. Aside from the
two daughters mentioned and the grand
children, the deceased leaves only seven
near relatives-Mr. E. NJ. Carstarphen
Of Plain Dealing Ga nephew and his six
children.
So ends the thread of life! No; life
does not so end, except as we reckon it
here On earth. Life has just begun for
this noble, Christian spirit. 1t began
when her earthly existence ceased and
she was beckoned beyond to stand in the
presence of her Creator and there view
her name where written on the book OF
life by His own archangels.
The writer was of tender age when he
first knew the subject of this short ap-
probation. He can safely chronicle hel
many virtues without fear of dissent
ing voice from any source. This because
where known she was loved-loved not
for her womanly worth alone, but be-
cause OF her solicitude for all friends
her daily practice of charity, her wholly
unselfish disposition, her gentle words 0.
cheer, and the true spirit of a Christian
which radiated her life as if God-giyer
in youth. Those who were in sorrow
those who experienced physical pain
those who for other reasons were in nee(
of comfort knew this dear woman al
friend. There was reinsurance in he
speech, cheer in her touch, and some.
thing in her very presence that dispellet
fear and gloom.
1t is not that we are brought nearer t.
one because of mental effort, or to res
pect one because Of preferred station
The rule of life is that Of love, gentle
ness and tenderness. So was our de
parted friend, SO her many friends fount
her, so her dear ones ut home knew her
AS mother she was devoted, as frien,
ever faithful, as neighbor only chart
table and given to kindly impulses. A
the millennium approaches this fair
| ho
more such pure hearts as that whicl
throbbed within her bosom. How com
forting is the thought!
It was with genuine grief that tn
mortal remains were laid to rest. Attest
ing the high esteem in which the de
ceased was held was the presence c
many from a distance, and the prett
floral offerings to all but hid
to view the newly made grave. Also,
number of the colored friends Of he
younger and happier days were presen,
I. all faces showing the marks of grief.
Because Of unfavorable weather an
> the consequent poor condition of tn
), roads, the Shreveport minister called o
. to preside over the funeral rites did NJ
reach the cemetery in time. DR.. G..
Irion of this place, friend of Ion
standing, upon request, made a sho
= but touching and appropriate talk at tt
grave, followed by a prayer, after whic
y two favorite hymns were chanted as tt
last sad duty was performed by friend
4 "The soul too soft its ills to bear,
Has left our mortal hemisphere,
And sought in better world the need
To blameless life by heaven decreed.
