into the great beyond.
Mrs. Smith has been sufferer o
a complication Of diseases for sew
eral months. But she bore her suf
fering gently and was heard to muir
muir or complain against the disease
but now a chair is vacant that car
never be filled and her gentle and low
ing voice is stilled forever more If
her home The vacancy she has left
can never be filed by any one, as she
did. Mrs. Smith was a loving com
panion to her husband, and a gentle
step-mother to the children. But now
she has sunk into that dreamless
sleep which know no waking this side
the city Of God.
Early in her life she gave her heart
to Creator, and followed in his foot
steps which cannot be guided wrong,
until her life which was so valuable
to her home and friends was waited
to that home prepared for the peo-
pie Of God.
Mrs. Smith was at her home in the
Border Springs community at the
time of her death, where she has lived
for many years and better woman
was never known in that community.
She is survived by husband, Mr..
J. r. Smith, and three step-children;
Mr. viii Smith of the Woodlawn
neighborhood, Mr.. J. j. Smith Of Co
lumbus, and Mrs. Hattie Gallop, who
was living at the Smith home at the
time of her death, besides many other
near relatives and large host of
friends whom were deeply grieved by
her death. Services were held at her
home Monday morning, which was at
tended by many, then her body was
carried to the family burying grounds
at the Smith cemetery, across the
state line in Alabama, and tenderly
lowered into the new made grave,
which was soon consealed by the
mother earth clay, which upon my
beautiful flowers were, placed, as the
last tribute of respect by her dearest
friends and relatives. The neighbor-
hood loses a faithful and noble lady.
Her family loose one whose devotions
to their best interest was always
her tender care and solicitudue. Her
church looses a loyal commitment.
We beg Of the relatives not to grieve,
out we hope they will be contforted
by the thought that where she has
gone, they can meet her, and that in
stead Of suffering bodily ills here, she
mas assembled to that bright realm
where tears, sorrows, and good-byes
are unknown, but where all will be
happy around the great white throne
If God. She has secured port call !
ID heaven, where she will gladly wait |
It the pearly gates Of God to welcome |
Ill of you home, where there will be !
10 more sad parting. We extend our
heartfelt sympathy to the bereayed |
mes in their sorrow Read to her
lshes, and eternal rest to her soul.
