In the death of Mrs. Missouri Lott
which occurred last Wednesday
morning about ten o'clock, the town
lost one of its most honored and be-
loved women. She was truly one of
the Mothers of Israel, and many rise
up to call her blessed.
Mrs. Lott was 80 years of age,
and was a most remarkable woman,
having passed through many epochs
in her country's history. and was
real patriot.
1t was especially in the home that
the force and strength of her beau
tiful life shone with such luster. !
First of all, she was trusting Christ |
ian, and reared her large household ]
sae .na fear and admeat3Ro are
as monuments to this life now ended.
She was a faithful wife and lov-
ing mother, and these noble sons and
the daughter will miss the touch OF
her gentle hand, for it ever held the
caressing touch as in childhood. Her
life was a benediction to all.
We cannot call her dead, for to
live in the lives of all left. is not to
die. She has only passed over the rlv-
er to await the coming of her loved
ones.
On Thursday morning the funeral
services were conducted in the home
bv her pastor, Rev. W. S. Brooke who
was assisted by DR.. Lee Of Edgeaeld.
A beautiful tribute was paid her
memory. "Asleep in Jesus" and Face
to Face" were softly sung. Following
the service the body was carried to
the family burying ground and ten
derly laid to rest beside the grave Oh
her beloved husband, Capt William
Lott.
It was request that the D. Of Z.

of this organization and it was sad
pleasure for the members Ito follow
