IN MEMEMORIAM.

1t is with sorrow that we record the
passing away of Mrs. Aubrey Daniel,
who went peacefully asleep in
Jesus" Sunday morning, Aug 18th. at
2 80 o'clock. During her short life of
80 years that God spared her here on
earth, she was found ever doing good
to those around her, Notwithstanding
the fact that she has been a constant
sufferer for years, her life was such,
that her influence for God and for
righteousness will live throughout the
ages. So Christ like, submissive and
cheerfully did she bear her Affections,
that one could not be in her presence
without feeling an inspiration to live
nearer the Divine Savior.
To know her was not only to love
her, but to be drawn nearer to God,
whom she loved and served so devot-
edly. She rejoiced in doing all the
good she could to those around her.
Many are the Christian deeds of love
that she has done, known only by her
Savior and herself. She gave literally,
she was thoughtful and kind to all, and
many, indeed, are they who now call
her blessed.
Mrs. Daniel (nee.) Miss Etna Reid,
was most beautiful and accomplished
young lady, greatly admired for her
Intelligence, her sweet sunshiny dis
position and her noble Christian char
acter. Her marriage was indeed a
happy one, as hand-in-hand she walked
with her husband, doing all as Goo
would have her, proving herself a
helpmeet indeed in their happy home
and wherever God called them to go.
This noble Christian woman leaves
one dear child, Mildred, a noble and
true husband a devout. Christian

mother, Mrs. CT. Reid, and the follow
ing brothers and sisters: Messrs r.
W., H. W. and E. G.. Reid, of Shiloh,
Mrs. J. H. Harvey, of Leslie, and Mrs.
L L. Dupree, of Shiloh, besides host
CT relatives and friends, to mourn ner
departure, but we grieve not as those
who have no hope. We realize she has
only gone Home" to dwell with Jesus.
"She is not dead but sleepeth," "This
mortal has just one Immortality" the
has only crossed ''over the river"
where there is no pain, sickness or
sorrow, Jesus has taken his loved one
to dwell with him in Glory-this is, as
it were, one more link in the golden
chain of love-" to draw her loved-ones
nearer to her Savior and to her Home
in Heaven. Mrs. Daniel joined the
Missionary Baptist church in her youth
and lived an exemplary Christian life.
The interment took place at Ebenezar
cemetery Aug. 18th, after short but
impressive service conducted by her
pastor, Rev. W. R. Deal of Macon. The
pail bearers were her cousins, Messrs.
f L. Reid, Stephen Rainey, c. J. and
Carey Baniel, B. H. and A. J. Dupree.
The floral offerings were fit tribute
to the one whom all seemed to love.
They were numerous and beautiful and
seemed emblamatic of the life she so
happily, so grandly spent in the ser
vice of God. We miss her, oh! so sadly,
but we do not grieve as those without
hope for God doeth all things well, and
some day we will understand.
