                     IN  MEMORY
   Mrs. Mary Edwards, widow of Judge Wm H. Edwards. Died in Cordele, Ga., at 
the residence of her son, Dr. W. E. Edwards, on September 24th, 1899.  She was 
on a visit expecting to spend a happy year with her two youngest sons and 
other member of her family, living in that section.  Before she had realized 
fully her expectations, daet broke the chalice and God took her to drink in 
sweeter joys and happiness with His family above.
   At her request she was buried in Cordele and Brother Weston preached her 
funeral.  Sister Edawrds was seventy-three years of age--had been a member of 
the Methodist Episcopal Church South fifty-three years and love the church.
   She had eleven children, six sons and five daughters, and reared them to 
manhood and womanhood.  Nine of them are members of the church.  Five of her 
sons abstain totally from the use of whiskey and tobacco in any form.  All of 
them hold respectful positions in society, are law abiding citizens, and doing 
well in the world.  Verily “ she looeth well to the ways of her household, and 
eateth not the bred of idleness.  Her children rise up and call her blessed.”  
This is a rare and good record.  The writer hs known her sixty years.  She was 
a good Christian woman, and possessed of excellent, noble and admirable traits 
of character.
