of Miss Emma Brown

The funeral of Miss Emma
Brown was held at her late homo
on Columbia street. Rev. ]. c.
Buckley. pastor of the Diamond
Street church, assisted by Rev. G.
F. Eddy conducted the funeral.
Rev. Buckley, her pastor, paid the
most beautiful tribute to the life
of the deceased IN the presence of
a large concourse of friends who
filled the home and porch and over
flowed into the street.
Miss Emma as she was Familiarity
known, had been great sufferer
for 20 years. She had been contin-
ed to her chair for IT years. and in
all these years she was never heard
to complain in the least degree.
Her life In the home and ccmmun-
ity was like a ray of sunshine, al
ways cheerful, optimistic and full
Of hope. Her neighbors and
friends visited her room agCin and
again that they might catch some
thing Of her spirit and learn the Sc
cret of her unfailing faith and pa
thence. Invariably they went away
blessed by having been in her pres
ence for a little while.
The secret of this wonderfully
remarkable life is to be found in
the fact that she had given Jesus
Christ, her Lord. full possession,
and "for her to live was Christ.
She was buried at Shinnston'
near her former home.
