Elliott was consistent member OF
the Baptist church and by his upright
Christian character and thoughtful
consideration of others, made a host
of friends in his community, who join
his family in their sorrow and loss.
About two months ago he developed
case of dropsy of the heart, and
while medical skill has done all in its
power to alleviate his suffering and re.
store him to health, and thoughtful
and considerate friends and relatives
have been unfailing in their efforts III
his behalf, yet the grim reaper was
relentless and was not to be denied.
Mr.. Elliott bore his suffering with
Christian fortitude and met death in
the same fearless Christian manner in
which he had lived, with a deep faith
in the power of Christ to save.
Besides host Of friends and rela-
tives, he leaves loving wife and the

illness OF about ten weeks, caused by
stroke OF paralysis, quietly passed
away at $50 this morning. at the

ing and that relatives and loving
friends were ministering to her every
want, and giving her every attention
that love and affection could bestow.
The shadow of the grim reaper held
no terrors for her in the evening Of
life and the faith which had so nobly
sustained her in the journey of well
spent and useful Christian life. seemed
to grow stronger and brighter as the
end drew near, and she died in the
faith in which she had lived, that
Christ was abundantly able to save to
the uttermost.
Mrs. Butler was the daughter Of
Judge ]. R. and Catherine ID. Evans,
and was born october 2S, 1912, at Eu-
taw. Ala. and she was married in the
same place to Mr. E. ]. Butler, May

the summer of 1885, and have lived
here ever since, where Mrs. Butler
amassed a host OF friends by her ex-
empIary Christian life and courteous
consideration of all with whom she
came in contact. She was a consistent
member of the Episcopal church and
took great interest in the work of the
U. d. c., to which she belonged
