Mrs. P. s. Dudley
Passes to Her Reward.

On last Saturday night all that was
immortal of Mrs. P. S. Dudley left its
earthly abode and was borne by Celes-
tial beings to the realms of eternal
rest. Only a short illness preceded the
dissolution and she fell asleep almost
as gently as a babe goes to rest in the
arms OF its mother who so happily gath
ers the little m to her breast.
The funeral services were held SUM-
day afternoon from the PRESBYTERIAN
church where a large of de-
voted friends gathered to pay their last
tribute to the character and the life of
this sanity woman. Her pastor, Rev.
J. Z. Carothers, touched most beauti-
fully upon her life and what it had
meant to the community and his words
could not have failed to 20 far towards
binding up the broken heart of the oniy
son, DIR. b. ). Dudley, to whom the
good mother had meant so much. The
remains were laid to rest in Odd Eel.
lows cemetery.
Mrs. Dudley was born in Wilkes
county, Georgia. August %, 1887, being
q daughter of Augustus D. Statham.
She came to what is now Grenada and
Grenada county when a mere girl and
in due time became the wife of B. j..
Dudley, who died in 1867. During the
Civil War, she. with thousands of other
wives. mothers and daughters of the
South, struggled hard to meet the ad.
versities of the period and came out of
that struggle unsubdued in spirit vet
with that Christian grace that adjusts
itself to the DEGREES of fate and hunts
the rainbow in every threatening cloud.
Ihere was a sunshine, a radiance, a
friendly word and that spirit of moth
erly interest always exhibited in the
conduct and the life of Mrs. Dudley
that made of her at all times a wei
come guest in every company and a
benediction to every place visited. The
history of Grenada would not be COM
Plete without adverting to Mrs. Dud-
ley and wherever she touched the af-
fairs of the town, whether in a school,
room, the Sunday school OF in the sick
chamber, she left the imprint of Chris
tian graces and that benign influence
that will live for the years to come.
Mrs. Dudley will long be missed in
Grenada but let it be hoped that her
son, as well as intimate friends. NAV
gather up the threads of life where she
laid them down and that the good she
was ever trying to do may be perpetu-
ated in their lives without any broken
links.
The Sentinel extends sympathy to
the serrowing son and wife.
