Mrs. Chas. R. Everhart was born
May both, 1877, departed to be with
Jesus December 7th, 1918. She was
united in marriage to Chas. r. Ever
hart January 18th, 1899, and to this
union were born seven children, six
boys and one girl. She leaves a hus.
band and six children and many rela.
tives and friends. She was an I'M
selfish, devoted wife and mother, and
will be greatly missed by her hus-
band, children and host of friends.
Notwithstanding the threatening
weather, large number Of the
Saints, Of Greeneville, Tennis
miles away-attended the services to
pay their last respect to this devoted
saint, and to comfort her mourning
husband and children.
When those Jews of old saw Jesus
weeping at the tomb of Lazarus, they
said, Behold how He loveth him"
SO the people of Mohawk, when they
saw the salts Of Greeneville arrive at
the service on such threatening day,
began to say, Behold how those peo-
pie love one another"
Brethren, let us practice more of
this self-denial to magnify our bless.
