OBITUARY.
Mrs. Brock Martin


Again we are overwhelmed with
sorrow: again we are following a
loved one TO her last resting place.
Again we pass through the valley
of weeping,
The valley of sorrow and pain:
But the God of all comfort is with
me,
At hand to uphold and sustain.
As we travel thro life's Swallowed
valley.
Fresh springs of His love ever rise;
And we learn that our sorrows and
losses
Are blessings just sent in disguise.
