In Memoriam

In sadness we announce the death of Mrs. Fannie Stokes, wife of Mr. J.W. Stokes,
of Haw Ridge, and daughter of Mr. H.H. Mizell.  This mournful event transpired
at her home, 3 p.m., Friday 20th ult.  Although she had been suffering for some
months and her death seemed inevitable, yet when it came to pass many hearts
were filled with sorrow and many eyes with tears.  However if affords relief
from the bitterness of grief to know that she was so well prepared to meet the
grim monster Death.  She really died shouting victory over death and hell.  Her
last words were in praising and glorifying God her Saviour.  Her pure and sweet
life gave assurance of triumph in death.  She was pure in childhood, lovely in
womanhood, a faithful Christian, a true member of the M.E. Church South, an
affectionate daughter and sister, and a devoted wife and mother.  She was buried
in Haw Ridge graveyard Sunday morning February 22, the Rev. Angus Dowling
conducting the solemn and tearful service.  A large assembly of weeping
relatives and friends were present.
