UNION CITY.
On Tuesday evening, shortly after
the golden sun has kissed the Wes-
tern hills the death angel entered
the home of Rev. and Mrs. VIM.
Pursely and claimed their little
daughter. Nate" o~'v a few short
S ago, God placed this tendc
bud in the ru.se.y nome, and day
after day the parents watchet over
it with the hope that it would live
to bloom into a full grown rose, but
such was not to be. Matte" had
been i'll for several weeks and every
thing that loving hands could do, or
thoughtful minds suggest, was done,
but all in vain. Funeral services
were conducted from Mcdowell church
Thursday afternoon by Rev. w. A.
Smith. He spoke very touchinglys on
the life of the deceased. Interment
took place at Beech Grove Cemetery.
The ninth grade class of which she
was a member served as pall-bearers.
The class is composed of three boys
and three girls. Matte was loved by
all who knew her. Her pleasant
smiles and sunny disposition won for
her many friends. She was kind,
gentle, and studious, she will be
greatly missed at home, in the school
room and by all who knew her. Miss
Mamie Clay, of Hickman, spent few
hours very pleasantly in the city
Monday as the guest of Mrs B. L.
Clark. Mrs Mary overly left Sunday
night for an extended visit to Louis

and Mrs. Allen Dale Dennis, return
ed Monday from Lexington, Tenn,
where they as messengers of Pilgrims
Rest Baptist Church attended the
Obion River Association. They report

stopped in Jackson, to be the guest
of her cousin, Mrs. T. McClanton. On
Saturday, Oct 10, Mrs. Rachael Nor
gan died at the home of her daguh-
ter, Mrs. Mariah Jackson on East
Grove street. Mrs. Morgan had been
i'll for several months and died at
the ripe old age of 102 years. Surely
her long and useful life was a bene-
diction and blessing from God. She
had several children and grand chill
dren and while she lived she watched
over them with the love of shep-
herdess. Many hearts have been
touched by her wholesome advice and
lives were nodded accordingly. She
was a member of the Baptist church
and was always glad to be led to a
throne of grace. She was loved by
white and colored and was well
known throughout the community,
being the oldest colored citizen in
Obion County. Her death has cast
shadow of gloom over our communi
ty. Mrs. Ellen Doan of Champaign
