Before her marriage she was Miss Eliza Ann Wallace. She was happily married to Mr. James T. Glasgow on ugust 8, 1869. When just a girl, she joined the Methodist Church, remaining a faithful member until twenty years ago when she united with the Missionary Baptist Church at Pleasant Hill. After a few years she transferred her membership to Cedar Creek church where she remained a consistent member until the time of her death. She was the mother of seven children, two sons and five daughters all of whom mourn her loss as a mother except one, who preceded her to the glory land nearly ten years ago. These children do not mourn as those who have no hope, for they all expect by the grace of god to meet her in the better world. Sister Glasgow was a good woman, good in all the relationships of life. A devout christian, a faithful wife, a devoted mother, a kind friend and one of the best of neighbors. It is such a life as this that counts to god and religion. Her influence will never cease to exist. No one can measure the effects of such a life as hers. Man can make many useful calculations, he can measure the distance to the planets and tell of the orbit of the glittering starts but no one can estimate of the good accomplished by such a life as sister Glasgow lived. Eternity alone reveal the effects of such a life. She now rests from her labors. She lives not here but in memory and influence and she lieves in heaven with her savior. Loved ones you know where to find her. By the grace of god you may meet her again where jesus is. There no death shall enter, no more parting at the river. Farewell sister, till we meet you at the river. G.B. Boman, pastor. _____ LOCAL News Rev. Geo. Reid of Naples, Texas and Mrs. Mae Vaughan are visiting in town. Rev.
