Whereas it has pleased Almighty God
the great Architect of the Universe, to
take from us our beloved brother and
highly esteemed friend, B. f. Parsons,
and while we bow in submission to Him

First: That in the death Of Brother
B. L. Parsons our Lodge has lost very
useful. devoted and Jealous member,
and our state and county good citizen,
and the community at large a good
friend and brother, and his smiling face
and ever-ready hand will be greatly
missed;
Second: That a page in our Minute
Book be inscribed to his memory and a
copy aof! this lrcsolution be sent to his
family;
Third That we extend to his family
our heartfelt sympathy and coincidence.

Tribute to Rev. t. F. Nelson

Sacred to the memory of Rev II. f..
Nelson, who departed this life on the
14th Of March, 1918, at his home three
miles north of Liberty. The death of
this good man removes the last land
mark preacher Of the old school type
from the Twelve Mile River Associa-
ton. 1t is said that death loves a shin
ing mark, SO as we were paying the last
tributes Of love and respect to Brother
Nelson we could only think Of his asso-
ciates and yoke fellows in the ministry
who had gone on before. There were
Holder, Lewis, .Grogan, Hudson, Lit
tleton, Colley, Hunnicutt and Morton,
and these brethren, with others, felled
the forest and laid the foundation Of
the Baptist churches among the noun
tans of Pickens and Oconee and West
ern North Carolina. For the past ifty
years these good men have been going
up and down the country preaching the
pure gospel in this section. With the
death of Brother Nelson they are all
gone, but the world is better because
they lived here. Brother Nelson spent
the greater part Of his life in Pickcns
county, but u few years ago he moved
to Anderson county, where he was cleo
ted to the legislature. He was twice
married and leaves large family of
children and host Z, friends to mourn
his loss. il. r. Murphrcc.

trated by five thousand shells and I
have not so much as chair left to my
name"
Since the outbreak of the war in 1914
Mrs. Mazzuchi. after but six months
preparation, took up the duties Of a Red
Cross nurse. Before Italy's entrance
into the war she served with the French.
She has been wounded three times and
has no longer the slightest fear Of death.
she has seen thirty-two Of her family go
into the war. Eighteen Of them are
dead. twelve are wounded. Her own
rare spirit and great courage have been
such as to merit great rewards.
For eight months Mrs. Mazzuchi
served in frst-aid hospital in
France. Here. too. her little daughter.
then twelve years old, comforted
wounded Frenchmen by reading to
them and playing cards with them.
At one time the Prussians were but a
mile and a half from her home and
their guns were filling the trenches
with French wounded. She has turned
her hand to everything and anything
in her zeal and care for the wounded
