She was sick about two and one half months with heart disease and a few days before she did had a severe attack of Apo- plexy. In the latter part ot her sickness she suffered greatly. No human tongue can express the pain she felt, but we believe she is now resting and sleeping in the arms of Jeaus. She united with the church, at Piney Grove when death. She was very prompt iu attend- ing her meetings when heaith would permit and was ever trying to live a christian lite and persuading others to do the same, especially her children. I have heard her plead and talk to them tellin tuem uf the besetting sins and ihe dwu.er oc disobeying God, and the promises he tus giver US. She was a dear auni vi mine, and I'l] never forget the good aavice she has given me. I loved her next to my own nother and its very sad to think we'll never hear her voice, never see her smile again, but then ’tis not so sad as if we had no nope, for if we trust in the Lord and kezp His commandments we have a hepe of meeting ner where sor- row and suffering is o’er. She leaves a husband, five children, and a host of relatives ard friends to mourn their loss, but weep not deat ones as those who have no hope, ‘For blessed are they that die in the Lord.” Iu the cold and silent grave They have lain her down to rest, With the young and old and brave, She is numbered with the blest. "Tis sad to give thce up in death, But not our will be done, Cold is thy form and still thy breath, And a victory thou hast won. Tis sad to part with one we love, And it almost bresks our hearts, Bus we hope to meel Mm that world nbove. Where we’l! never, never par.
