death of three noble women, who
were we'll known to many people Of
this town.
Mrs. Martin, wife of DR.. Jas. L.
Martin of Abbeville, died suddenly
at her home on last Saturday morn
ing. She had visited here many
times during the years her husband
filled the pulpit of the Presbyterian
church at this place. The deceased
was a sweet, gentle christian Of bril-
liant intellect and forceful charac-
ter. She is survived by her aged
husband, one daughter and many
friends who extend deepest sym
pathy to the bereaved ones in their
great sorrow.
Mrs. Rosie Crowther Knox died
at her home in Antreville last Mon
day. She was a. devoted member Of
the Presbyterian church, a loyal
friend and a sincere christian. BY a
former marriage she leaves one son,
Jesse B. Hardness, her only child.
The funeral services were held at
! Little Mountain church, conducted
by her pastor, Rev. "a. C. Fennell.
The many friends mourn with the
son in the death Of his devoted
mother.
Mrs. Onie C1iniScales Rogers died
at her home near Antreville last
Tuesday after a long illness. She
was the only child Of the late VIM.
Clinkscales and Louise Baker Clink-
scales. She married J. Frank Rogers,
who died many years ago, leaving to
her care six small children, whom
she reared in tender love, educated
and sent forth into life as noble men
and women. The deceased was a
faithful member Of the Methodist
church and was loved greatly for her
generous nature, her neighborly
spirit and her true, christian charac-
ter. Funeral services were conducted
at Shiloh by her pastor, Rev. MI.
Duckworth. She is survived by four
daughters, two sons and many
friends who mourn her loss.
These three cody women had long
since passed the meridian Of life.
Mrs. Martin having lived moro than
four score years, each Of the other
two was over three score years Of
age. With all the trials and disap-
pointments incident to long lives,
their feet trod only the path Of
righteousness and they leave to
their children the heritage Of .
c~onsecrated motherhood. It is sad to
realize that mothers feeble body re-
poses in a flower-eovered mound IN
the city Of the dead. yet it is sweet
to believe that her purified spirit
rests in that city not made with
hands whose Maker and Builder is
God.
Rev. and Mrs. Clotfelter and
their daughter, Miss Doris, of Town
vile spent several days with friends
here this week. They have many
friends here who are always glad
dened over their visits to their old
home.

was accompanied by Miss Nancy
Harper who visited her cousin, Miss
Bessie Harper.

fers from a wound received in bat
