TALBOT.

TALBOT.
"A beautiful young life, one
fraught with many possibilities for
happiness, both to those she loved
and to the community in general,
went out into the Great Beyond
shortly afternoon Tuesday, when the
spirit of Mrs. Elizabeth Hinton Tai
bott, went to its Maker.
Day by day, when the seriousness
of Mrs. Talbott's illness became
manifest, there was a steady stream
of inquiries from all over the city
and county, showing the strong hold
which this young woman had taken
in the love and affection Of the peo-
pie. With a disposition such as hers
it could not have well been otherwise.
For days her life hung in the bal
ance, while all that loving hands
could do, with the help of physicians
who ministered to her day and night,
was done to stay the hand OF Death
But the disease which had fastened
upon her had gained too strong a
hold, and, despite her determined
resistance, conquered in the strug-
gle. -,
In the death of Mrs. Talbot the
community fully and keenly realizes
a sense of personal loss. She was a
true friend, and her devotion TO
those she loved would make a bright
chapter in any life. Nothing but the
thought of the loving hand that has
removed her can reconcile the hus-
hand. the father, and those relatives
and friends to whom her life was an
1lndisguised blessing. While she has
gone from the scenes, the conflicts,
the sorrows, the pleasures Of life, she
% will still live in the hearts of those
who knew her best. Her retiring ma
ture led her to hide the best quail
ties from public gaze, yet it was In
her home that her true worth was
most conspicuous. She was kind
and loving daughter, and her devo-
ton was limited only by her physl-
cal restrictions. Nature blessed her
with a lovely voice, which had been
carefully trained, and which she used
for the pleasure and benefit of her
friends. and in the church worship
of the Christian church, of which she
had long been a devoted member.
Mrs. Talbot, who was in her TWEEN
ty-third year, was the eldest daugh-
ter of Mr.. Edward T. Hinton, of this
city. her mother having preceded her
to the grave many years ago. She Is
survived by her husband, Mr.. VIM.
M Talbot. who is ill of influenza at
the family home; her father, Mr.. Ed
ward. T. Hinton, and one sister, Miss
Elmeta Hinton; by her maternal and
maternal grandfathers, former Judge
7 Harry Brent, and former Mayor
John T. Hinton, of Paris. Mrs. Tai
bott was a niece of Hugh l. Brent,
VIM O. Hinton. Albert Hinton and
Hon. Claude M. Thomas, all of Paris,
John T. Hinton, Jr., of Huntington,
West Virginia, and Mrs. Mary Brent
Chambers, of Louisville.
Her breath went out like the ex-
halation of a sweetly fragrant minion
of the woodlands, and in her stead Is
left only q holy and beautiful mem,
ory. a. memory that will last ana
sanctify longer than the span Oh our
lives "God touched her with His
6ngers and she slept" but not until
a beautiful life had been lived. And
now that she sleeps the sieep Oh
Death, memory takes up the harp OF
life, and, shifting the strings, mos
that her virtues melt into music ike
that or ner GLORIOUS youhS 'o"'
Mourn not the lost.
Sn realms of changeless bliss
He who beholds our sadness,
Fond hearts will unite again.
The funeral was held Wednesday
afternoon at $3.50 o'clock. Services
were conducted at the grave in the
Paris Cemetery by Rev. w. E. Ellis,
pastor of the church to which her
lovely life had been devoted. Rev.
Ellis paid a beautiful tribute to the
life and. character Of Mrs. Talbot,
after which the body was consigned
to its last resting place, under q
mound of flowers that attested by
their sweet fragrance the sympathy
and love of her friends. Mrs. Macie
