IN MEMORIAM

After more than two years of lingering illness, Mrs. Mary 
Lorena Hinson died at the home of her only child, Mrs. 
Minnie Hull, at Bushnell Fla., Friday May 26, 1899. The 
deceased was a consistent member of The Baptist Churh, and 
it could be said of her: "None knew her but to love her, 
none named her but to praise". Her husband, the well known 
Frank J. Hinson died in 1897.

TO THE PUBLIC

My sincere appreciation is extended to the kind friends who 
rendered their assistance and sympathy in the last sickness 
of my husband. These acts of aid and condolence in my great 
loss and bereavement will always be remembered, and be like 
bread cast upon the waters that shall not turn void. Mrs. Jas. 
Field Sumterville, Fla. June 1, 1899
