MRS. ]. W. MATHIE

The many friends of Mrs. Helen
Mcclellan Mathie were shocked at
the news of her sudden death, which
occurred at her home in Glover, Octo-
Der 18. She was born on the old
home where she has always lived May
4th, 1864, on the day of the battle
of the Wilderness. She taught school
with great success, beginning at the
age of Is. She taught in Glover and
the surrounding towns and held a
life certificate. She had hosts of
friends. She loved everything that
was beautiful and good; she loved
her home, and her flowers were her
dear companions.
She leaves a husband, a mother and
a brother who deeply mourn her loss.
The funeral services were held Octo-
ber 21, at her home conducted by Rev.
John Kimball, and the house was fill
ed with those who knew and loved
her. She looked as if asleep and as
we looked into her face for the last
time the words of Mrs. Browning
came to US, "He Giveth His Beloved
Sleep"
