OBITUARY.

Sister Emily Gregory Porter was
born July II, 1916, professed religion
and joined the Missionary Baptist
church at Old Dixon's Creek about
1868 and lived an honored, active
member until death. She was mar
1867, and to them were born nine
childrenr-four boys and five girls.
A boy and a girl died years ago, and
Sister Porter died November /, 1918,
at the age of ~ years, 8 months and
20 days. She was a member of the
church 55 years and was baptized by
old Uncle Jonathan Wiseman. She
was regular in attendance, she and
Uncle Jonathan both always being
there unless sickness prevented She
was a noble, Christian woman-truly
mother in Israel. Everybody spoke
highly of Aunt En-, as she was called.
She will be missed, and she was fully
prepared to go, | am sure. She said
she was ready, and sang a most
beautiful song and shouted the praise
of God who had kept her these 55
years. Following is the song she
sung, just one verse:
Take my life and let it be
Consecrated, Lord, to thee;
Take my hands nd let them move
At the impulse of thy love.
a
Christian and come to death as calm
as if it were a welcome message.
Aunt Emily lived with her husband
nearly So years, a beautiful, loving,
trustworthy companion-indeed,
helpmate in life. To know her was
to love her. 1t was a joy to be in
their home. She was a strong Bap-
list, holding all the doctrines in the
unity of the faith, well-settled in the
word of truth; she was a good neigh
Dor; a loving, tender-hearted mother,
with her children but good to them,
ever ready to administer to their
wants. She leaves a husband, four
girls, three boys, four brothers, three
sisters, and host of friends and rela-
tives to mourn their loss.
Uncle John, it wont be long until
you will join her over there. You
will be lonesome here without her,
but the days will be few and the Lord
will help you as He always helps His
children. Children, you will see your
kind nd tender words no more in
this world, but it is a blessed thought
that you all are prepared to meet her
in the world where parting will be
no more. Follow the quiet, Cody
life your mother lived, and take the
advice she has always given you.
You will miss her from the home,
but just think that she has a house
now in heaven, resting from her la
bors, but her works will follow on.
The funeral took place at the resi-
dence on November and was con-
Quoted by the writer. There was a
large crowd present, considering the
sickness there was in the country.
The body was laid to rest in the
family burying ground.
May the good Lord be with the be-
renved husband and family.

A naval board of inquiry appointed to
investigate the loss of the naval tug
Cherokee, which foundered off Cape
