Mrs. Noble Hamilton

The subject of this sketch,
Miss Noble Wardlaw, daughter
of the late George Wardlaw and
Mrs. Sarah Wardlaw, was born
on September 25th. 1874. She
was therefore AZ years 27 days
old. She was married to James
t. Hamilton in November. 1892,
when she was Is years of age.
To this marriage were born eight
children. all of whom, with her
husband, are now living. She
also leaves a mother, two sisters,
Mrs. J. I. Evans, and Mrs. R. A.
Russell, and two brothers, Oscar
and Sam Wardlaw, with many
other relatives to all of whom we
offer our sympathy and condo
lence.
Mrs. Hamilton had been a con.
sistent and faithful member of
the Missionary Baptist church at
Thaxton. Mississippi, for the past
eight years. showing the Christ
like spirit in so many ways by
acts Of Sc T sacrifice, charity and
love TO all. Acts of kindness and
good deeds were ever hers to
perform, but nowhere was her
true worth shown so much as in
her own home. A true, loving
wife and help meet to her hus-
band, and a patient, loving chris
tian mother, in all that the name
means. to her children. No
where on earth is the true worth
OF q woman shown so much as in
the home. The highest mission
given on~earth is astrue christian
mother. What does it mean to
this old sin-cursed world! What
an influence it Yields! Who can
measure the heights and depths
of this influence in uplifting poor
fallen mat! Happy the child who
has such a home and such Q
mother. and God pity the home
where it is wanting. But thanks
be to God this Influence lives on
in the home after che good mother
has been called hence to her he
ward.
