BELOVED WOMAN PASSES
TO THE GREAT BEYOND

About 80 o'clock Thursday after
noon, February 23, the spirit Of Miss
Fannie Ramage passed to the great
beyond. This news brings sadness tc
the entire community as Miss Ramage
was dearly beloved by hosts Of
friends. She fingered on the brink
of eternity for a week or more and
each day brought anxious inquiries
from interested friends.
Miss Ramage had reached the ad-
vanced age of 73 years and is surviv-
ed by only one brother, the Rev
Barlow Bee Ramage, who, with his
wife, arrived several weeks ago from
their home in Memphis, Tenn, to be
at the bedside Of his sister.
The funeral services were held Fri
day afternoon at three O'Clock from
the First Baptist church, the Rev, +.
V. Babb conducting the services.
Three hymns were sung, Resurrec-
ton song by the choir, ASLEEP IN
Jesus" and "Abide With Me-" Scrip
ture reading and prayer of praise
for the life of this Christian woman,
made up the simple but impressive
service. The interment was held at
the family burying ground about
three miles from town. The pail
bearers were: Messrs. J. T. Mayes, ).
N. Mclaughlin, F. n. Martin, ". +.
Ewart, j. NJ. Johnstone, l. H. Hunt
and R. G. Wallace, Sr.
Masses of beautiful blossoms COW
cred the mound of this sainted wom-
an-mute testimonials of love and de-
votion from many friends.
Prof. and Mrs. Burr H. Johnstone
of Clemson College who formerly
had been neighbors of Miss Ramage,
we're present at the funeral Of their
friend.
Miss Ramage was a faithful men,
Der of the First Baptist church OF
Newberry, being regular attendant
at all the church services and taking
an active part in the Sunday school
and in the mission work Of the church.
Her religion was not one Of theory
alone, but of practical Christianity.
The noble qualities in the character
of this lovely Christian woman can
not be measured by mere words. The
daily acts of kindness which she per
formed-the years of usefulness
which she hved-will be unto her a
living memorial. Her life was a ben
ediction to all who knew her.
It is hard to realize that "Miss
Fannie has gone. 1t seems such a
short while since she met and mingled
with friends and strangers-with
friendly clasp of the hand and d
CHEEKY smile. The sunshine from her
beautiful life radiated upon al those
with whom she came in contact and
she made life seem the more worth
living.
Yet in her death, there IS sweet
ness in the sadness JOY in the sor-
row-because for her there can only
be JOY in the hereafter-the fulfill
ment of the glorious promises Of
God for those who live for Him.

BY indicating approval of the
general principles of the American
