LOCAL News

Mrs. Jas. Evans of Moreland died Friday night. She was just recovering from a 
protracted illness and had been up for several days attending to her household 
duties. Friday night she prepared supper for the family and retired at her 
usual bedtime hour, apparently none the worse from the day's fatigue. Saturday 
morning, when a young son went to her bed to arouse her, she was found to be 
dead.  A sad feature of the case was that the only member of the family able 
to attend the funeral was the little 10 year old son, the husband and daughter 
about 15 years, both being prostrated with typhoid fever at the time of the 
mother's death and we understand that the young man since has been stricken 
with the same malady. The funeral took place Sunday afternoon.

It was a pleasure on Sunday last to meet ouf former flock at Bethlehem church 
and to spend a night with Mr. B.J. Fry and his excellent family.  We met a 
number of old friends on this visit, among them "Aunt" Betty Wortham who is 
now in her 90th year.  We found Rev. Mitt Jones and wife in deep sorrow on 
account of the death of a beloved daughter, Mrs. Jas. Evans.

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT BY BETHLEHEM BAPTIST CHURCH IN THE DEATH OF MARY 
CAROLINE EVANS

Sister Mary Caroline Evans, wife of J.H. Evans and daughter of M.A. Jones, 
was born March 21, 1876. She joined the Baptist church at Bethel in HEARD 
county at the age of 13. She was united in marriage to J.H. Evans in 
September 1897. She then united by letter with Bethlehem church in 1897. She 
is survived by her husband, four children and three brothers. She was the 
first of her father's family to die. She had been in feeble health for some 
time before her death. Even when infirmities had fallen upon her she would 
brave the heat and cold to go to her church, for truly did she delight in 
the services of her Master. All who knew her loved her. There are some whose 
lives seem made but for the service of others. Such was the life of Mary. Of 
her good deeds, of her love for her Master's work, this memorial can be but 
a feeble expression. We loved her, we have lost her, but our loss is 
heaven's gain. Therefore, be it resolved;

That we thank God for her long, faithful, consecrated and godly life among 
us.

That we will ever hold her in loving memory, regarding her life as one of 
the richest treasures of our church.

That these resolutions be spread upon our church records, a copy sent to her 
family and also furnished the Herald and Advertiser for publication.

Mrs. Edna Fry

Miss Luna Justiss, Committee
