Wayman Home Circle and Willing
Workers Clubs. She was: faithful
member in the Sunday School and in
the Allen c. E. League.
There are number of yong men
in the city who owe their knowledge
OF the Bible to the late Mrs. Ham
mond, she having at one time taught
large mems class at Des Moines,
la. She was a member of Queen
Esther Temple S. Mt. No. 2 and the
Household of Ruth No. 776.
Working in the church was her
greatest delight, being Stewardess
for many years in the Des MONIES A.
M. E. Church. Fitting resolutions
from the Wayman Home Circle, Will
ing Workers and A. M. E. Choir were
read at the funeral services.
Rev. J. I. Holt, Pastor of the A. M.
E. Church of Duluth, Mimi, sang
Pace. To Face" and "When Peace
Like A River" two of her favoritc
songs, it being her request that he
should sing at her funeral service.
Rev. T. B. Stovall, her pastor,
preached the funeral sermon, assisted
by Rev. T. ]. Carter of Bethesda Bap-
fist Church: Rev. Carter leading in
prayer The A. M. E. Choir sang a
number of her ,favorite hymns. The
Fourteenth Chapter of John was read
this being favorite chapter of hers.
The pastor spoke in part as follows;
using as text the Psalm, 18th Verse:
Precious in the sight of the Lord
is the death of his Saints" I can't
find scripture that is any more fitting
to the life and character of our
deceased sister than this 18th verse
of the 116 Psalm. Her life was spent
in the service for God, and the cause
of humanity. Hers was life of devo-
ton to husband and to her God,
church and friends. This made her
life precious in the sight of the Lord.
She endeared herself to all whom
she came in contact with. 1t was her
delight to visit the sick and cheer
those who might be respondent on
account of sickness and disease.
There was not department of the
church that did not have her hearts
concern. She was an active member
of the Wayman Home Circle and
Willing Workers Clubs, as has been
stated. She will be greatly missed
in these auxilliaries on account of her
strong personality and ability to make
things worth while in social way
Husband, you will miss Sadie, as
you call her, because she was a dear
wife and a sweet companion, but be
of good cheer: you did all that noble
husband could do for "a wife. Your
love, money, and your time was all
hers while she lived. You provided
"a beautiful home for her, and you
both enjoyed it together during her
life time. Her long sickness, you
bore with increased devotion. You
never tired waiting upon the object
of your hearts affection. Night after
night you sat by her bedside and
shed many sympathizing tear while
that awful disease was severing the
life chords of your loved one.
Oh, we should not mourn for she
had to go, and none knew it better
than she. She was ready and willing
to go. 1t seemed to be pleasure
for her to speak of her death because
she had gotten so much out of life,
and it seemed that she could see her
self forever happy in the mansions
above.
I Dear Husband, Son, Sisters and
Friends, that beautiful character is
no more in person with us, but the
life she led will ever remain fresh in
our memory. This beautiful floral
tribute is a token of love, respect and
high appreciation These flowers are
