Condor. --- Mr. and Mrs. John Handley of Aberdeen, Tex., who have been the guests of Col. and Mrs. C.S. Reid, are now with relatives in Alabama. --- NEWSPAPER Issue of Friday, July 9, 1909 IN MEMORY OF MRS. MARY UNDERWOOD LANDRUM Entered into rest on June 4th at the home of Dr. Jas. Stacy in Newnan, the gentle spirit of Mrs. Mary Underwood Landrum, in the 76th year of her age. Quiet and gentle in manner, she moved deeper and deeper with the passing years into the autumn sweetning, until this glad day she found the Master waiting and went home to receive her reward for the deeds done in the body. She was born in Coweta county in 1834 of Christian parentage; was brought up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord; early in life she united with the Methodist church and while she never sought to be conspicuous in church work, her faithfulness to all its ordinances and to her Lord were constant and abiding. Int he early '50's she was happily married to Mr. W.F. Landrum, a prosperous young merchant of Fayetteville, Ga. Later they moved to Fairburn, making that place their home until death came to claim the devoted husband and father. Of this union were born five children, two of whom are living; Mr. Walter Landrum of Memphis, Tenn., and Mrs. W.C. Cole of Atlanta. To them she has left a heritage far more precious than gold; a good name; a life whose morning, noon and evening was crowned with many deeds of kindness. Softly upon their bowed heads rests the benediction of a mother arisen and glorified. Although she had been in declining health for the past few months, her last illness was of short duration. But while she lay cheek to cheek with the angel pain, she had the sweet ministrations of love that were tender and abiding, until at last, like the ripened sheaf for the garner above, the Reaper came and with keen sickle summoned her into the presence of the Lord, whom she had long and faithfully served. Mrs. Landrum was a half-sister of Mrs. Tom Jones, of sainted memory, and an aunt of Mrs. Jas. Stacy to whom she was devotedly attached. She had spent the last two winters in the home of her niece and her loving sympathy and tender care of Mrs. Stacy in her feeble health was beautiful and mother-like, her presence cheering and helpful. Mrs. Landrum wore a triple crown of gentleness, integrity and pious culture. She lived a beautiful life and although she passed here threescore and ten, her heart was still young and so bright her smile, so cheerful and genial her manner, that she drew around her a large circle of friends in every community she claimed as home. We cannot chronicle her virtues, they were many. She made no boasts, did her work well and peacefully fell asleep. "Her pure spirit enrobed in white, is crowned where the angels are tonight." The last years of her life were remarkable for their calmness and patience and she seemed ready and willing for the summons. She has entered the pearly gates, clasped hands with redeemed loves ones gone before, and her children and her grandchildren rise up and call her blessed. On June 5th, the remains were carried to Fairburn for interment and placed by the side of her husband and loved ones who had preceded her to the better land. Funeral services were conducted by Dr. R.J. Bigham, pastor of the First Methodist church at Newnan. The many floral offerings, the large gathering of friends, was a beautiful expression of loyalty and love to one who, in her earlier days, had dwelt among them. M.A.W., Palmetto, Ga., June 28th.
