GONE TO REST.

Mrs. Lucinda Welsh, widow of the
late Capt. John Welsh, died June 81,
1916. She was IS years, 8 months
and 10 days old. She was a member
of the Baptist church at Old Kings
port and was always faithful in her
church work. She was loved by all
who knew her and was called one OF
the best and purest women ever
known.
She was one of the few characters
against whom we never heard bit
ter criticism. She was one that lived
and died without an enemy faith
full believer; noble christian and a
loving mother. She lived to see all
of her children grown and her noble
pure and consecrated life should
strengthen the faith of her remain
ing children and friends in the life
of eternal bliss.
She told her friends just before
she died that the change from this
life to the higher life would be sweet
to her.
She leaves only three children
Mrs. Francis Oliver, Mrs. Bette
Trogg and Mrs. Myra Cox, her other
children having DaSsed into the 9TH
err life before her.
So children, relatives and friends,
of which she has many, if we live a
pure noble christian life there will
be at the end of our earthly home a
mansion not built with hands-pre
pared by God and His angels for
those who live and serve him as Mrs
Welsh did.
