Asleep in Jesus.

When the tired eyes of Mrs. Lucy
White Johnston were closed in their
last long sleep, no doubt was felt in
the heart of the loved ones and those
WHO knew her that death was only
step into a fairer and better land. She
was never robust. and for many
years she mas been quite feeble and
wher she contracted pneumonia it
was only few hours of pain and
anguish until the body which had
grown old and bent with the many
trials of life was ready to return to
dust. The gentle spirit of Lucy White
was renewed with the freshness and
beauty of youth and arrayed in spot
less white, she took her place with
the redeemed to sing the praises of
the God she had loved and trusted
on earth, throughout endless ages.
She was one Of the oldest citizens of
this county and to the heroism of the
early pioneers we are indebted for
the many blessings which are ours of

souls are taken from our midst, it
leaves a vacancy in the county which

Ting of this county, which will be
stored many facts and incidents which
cannot be replaced, for in her mind was
lost to the coming generations.
Mrs. Johnston was the daughter of
the late Harmony White, who in his
day was the life of the Free Run COM
munity and with his sturdy manhood
soon made it one of the most desira-
BILE sections Of the county. There is
large family connection in that
part of the county, which was sub
dued and conquered by his strong
arm.
Mrs. Johnston was always delicate
and frail, gentle, loveable, and beau
iful in form and face, which made
her one of the bellies of the county
in her youth. She was married to
DR.. Johnston, and to them were sent
six children, two boys and four girls,
three were standing ready to well
come her spirit home and three are
left to mourn.
During her last illness the three de-
voted daughters were untiring in their
endeavor tc do everything possible
for her comfort and restoration to
health. but together the disease and
old age FASTENED the end of we'll
spent life.
Funeral services were held at Rocky
Springs Church, where she had been
q consistent and devout member for
many years. Friday. There in the
presence of a large concourse of rela-
tives and friends, her body was con-
signed to the grave.
