Obituary.

! Not soon shall pass the memory OF
Miss Mary Abbie Evans.
She was born in Randolph Center,
Sept. 20, 1891, the eldest daughter of
| Rev and Mrs. w. A. Evans
| Mary graduated from both courses of
| the state normal school in Randolph Gem
ter and after her graduation she became
a very successful and popular teacher in
Wilmington high school. While here,
she was taken with neuritis in her arm
and suffered excruciating pain for more
than q year. Other complications devel-
oped and the end came very peacefully
March 81.
As tale that is told by the evening
eampfre-as a watch in the night--so
swiftly hath sped the span of her days.
1t was hers to die in the morning when
life for her had not reached its corona
ton. No word may alter the grief and
shock of the bereavement of those who
loved her.
Mary possessed in unusual measure all
the womanly qualities which lend grace
and attraction She was ever gentle and
kindly. trustful and unobtrusively good.
From her girlhood she had been an ear
nest Christian and member of the in
ner circle of our Redeemer.
1t was given her to serve in the nigh
test and .divinest way--the way of
leaven-the way of power That leaven
remains to enrich the lives of those from
whose hearts she shall never pass
Into the great light her spirit has
passed to be with Him "at whose right
hand there are pleasures forevermore."
There remains IN those who loved har
the knowledge that her young and beau
tiful life was not lived in vain, and the
blessed hope Of our holy faith that when
our years are done there shall come CLIO |
rious reunions in the Fathers house
She passed from earth leaving loving
mother. a devoted sister, Lettie Evelyn. |
and an afectionate brother, Austin Bish-
op. (Dr. A. p Boyd.)
