Death of Mrs. Mary Ann Provow

Mrs. Mary Ann Provow was born
Aug. 81, 1851, died Oct. Is, 1921,
being at her death 70 years of age.
She professed religion at the age Of
twelve and joined the Methodist
Church, living a faithful and con-
sistent member until God called her
to join his great church above. She
was married Oct. "a, 1867, to Mr.. F.
M. Provow, with whom she lived
happily and to whom she proved a
devoted companion until death, and
of their union were born twelve chill
dren, ten boys and two girls. The
subject of this memorial is survived
by her devoted children, two sisters
and one brother and number of
relatives and friends to mourn her
loss. He husband died three years
ago.
Mrs. Provow was an exceptionally
good woman. AS companion she
was devoted, as a mother she was
faithful and loving, as a friend and
neighbor she was generous, stead
fast and true, and as Christian she
was faithful, loyal to the cause of
her Lord and her God. She in turn
for her many excellences was re-
spected, honored and loved by all
who knew her. She was faithful to
the end, and as such we must believe
that God will reward her with the
crown of eternal life III that world
where farewells are never said; and
while her loved ones can be with
her no more here, they can go to
her. Dear children, brother and sis
tiers, she is not dead, but sleeping.
She will be watching and waiting
with outstretched arms and smiling
face to bid us welcome home.
Thou hast gone, our precious mother,
Never more canst thou return;
We will meet you. precious mother,
On that resurrection morn.
A FRIEND.

Death of. George Grooms.

On October IL, at o'clock, George
Groo1ns, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Sam
Grooms, sweetly fell asleep in the
arms of Jesus. George was a sweet
little christian boy, loved by all who
knew him, but our Blessed Saviour
loved him more. He needed him, SO
He said, Come up higher"
George was 10 years two months
and 16 days old at the time of his
death. He leaves behind heart
broken mother, father and five sis
ters, and host of relatives and
friends to mourn his sad death.
Weep not, dear mother, father and
sisters, for George is only sleeping
in the arms of Jesus. Dear parents,
we know that it seems to you as it
always does, that the Lord has taken
from your home the one that was
loved SO dear But remember that
the Lord is like unto the gardener
that plucketh the sweetest flower for
his own. But let us say:
Farewell, George but not forever.
There will be a glorious dawn;
We shall meet to part, no, never,
On the resurrection morn.
Tho thy dear one lies sleeping
In the cold and silent tomb,
Thou shalt have a glorious waking
When the blessed Lord doth come
Let us strive to let our lights so
shine as did George that when the
curtains are lifted we will see his
smiling face. One by one the Father
gathers the choicest flowers, rich and
rare, and transplants them in his
garden to bloom forever there.
Funeral services were conducted
by Bro. White, and the body was
laid to rest at Old Republican Gem
etery beneath a mound of flowers.
We extend our heartfelt sympathy to
the heart-stricken family in their sad
bereavement. May Gods richest
blessings rest upon them. One Who
Loved Him.
