She suffered and lingered along until last Thursday night when she breathed her last and sweetly passed away without a struggle or frown. She was confined to her room and bed for over three months in succession efore she departed this life. She was 42 years old, was never married and was a member of the Methodist church and a true, devoted christian lady. While her mortal body lies shrouded in its snowy white robe in the silent grave in the cemetery at Green's Chapel Church we feel to believe that her spirit has taken its everlasting flight and gone home to heaven, there to dwell with relatives and friends who have been awaiting her appearance at the beautiful pearly gates which lead into the city of gold. ___ HIGH SHOALS News Mr. Jeff Head and family visited his wife's parents, Mr. and Mrs. J.R.
