WOODLAND

Christmas is nearly here. We can
hardly realize that another year has
gone. To the aged, time flies. To the
young, it drags.
Our hearts were made sad, last Sun
day morning, when the news was re-
celved that Mrs. Sarah Presley was
dead. She was sick only about ten
days. She suddenly became i'll on
Thanksgiving night, after having
spent most of the day at the church.
She was a devout, consecrated Christ
ian woman-a member of the Cum
berland Presbyterian Church-and
was loved by all who knew her. Peace
to her ashes. Mrs. Presley leaves six
children to mourn the loss of a tender
loving mother-three sons, Albert.
William and Harvey Presley; three
daughters, Mrs. Harvey Roberts of
Nettleton, Mrs. James Vaughan of
Brooksville, and Miss Annie Pressley.
She also left several grandchildren
and Observation-Disclosures. Mrs.
Presley was nearly eighty years old.
She fought good fight, she kept the
faith, and her work is finished. She
has gone on to be with her husband,
children and other loved ones who
in times past have entered into rest.
We shall miss her, for she was most
lovable Christian woman, but God
knew best and took her to Himself.
The bereaved ones have our heartfelt
sympathy in this dark hour. May
Gods choicest blessings rest upon the
two lonely ones in the old home.
Miss Green spent the weekend with
her home folks.
Mr.. George Perkins is able to be.
out again, after serious illness. His
many friends are glad to know that
he has recovered.
Mr.. and Mrs, Floyd Lofts and Mr.
I. L. Lance and family, of Bent Oak,
attended the funeral of Mrs. PRESLEY
on Monday afternoon.
Mr.. Albert Russell, of Sunnyside,
was recent visitor in our neighbor-
hood. Come again.
