AGED WOMAN
DIED SUDDENLY
MRS. ID. ID. BYRD is AT REST

News was received here from
Eagle Creek yesterday morning
announcing the death of Mrs d
u. Byrd, who passed away Wed
nesday night The immediate
cause of her death is said to have
been Brigbt's Disease with com.
plications.
In the presence of such a loss
10 The sorrowing family, how cold
ana lmpotent are words and how
doubly deep would be the grief
over the grave did not the rainbow
or Christian hope span the dark
unknown gulf between time and
eternity, and such pure, bright
lives inspire the belief that there
is a better world beyond, where,
hlled from the corroding cares of
earth, the good and true are re-
united CATER LIES ftful fever"
Mrs. Byrd remained conscious
to the last, and although fully
aware that her life was near it's
close, she manifested no dread
but bravely awaited the termina-
ton Of the struggle. Her life was
gentle, but like the still waters it
was deep. In her heart of hearts
she carried those she loved, and
her hands were never weary, her
step never failed in ministering
unto, caring for and waiting upon
those who were in any way depend
ent upon her.
Her kindnesses of the past and
little requests to loved ones must
live in their memories and recall
her words of advice and love-her
hopes and wishes-and by thous-
and tender cords draw each of her
loved ones toward the haven of rest
to which she has journeyed; and
from the closing scene of her life
came "a still small voice." and as
the years 60 by it will remind them
of her Christian hope and trust,
and tell them of a "peace that pass
eth human understanding"
