Death of Mrs. Walker

"Until the angels call, they slumber." Just as the shades of night had 
fallen and a peaceful calm was resting over all, we learned that Mrs. T. 
J. Walker was dead. Every heart was saddened, for she had been a friend 
to one and all in Brownwood and was beloved by all. Those who had
often enjoyed the hospitality so freely extended from her home were made 
to realize that a friend whose place could not be filled, had passed into 
a brighter and better land. Though it is hard, God knows best. Let us 
hope that the voice which told us that "Death is only a dream" lifted the
hearts of the bereaved ones to heaven to be comforted and that the Father 
who alone has the power to comfort them blessed them and will keep tose 
hearts as his own forever. We are powerless to rob that grief of any of 
its horror. we can only hope that those left behind will remember the
One from whom all comfort comes and remembering, will realize though He 
slay me, yet I will trust him.

Mrs. Walker leaves a husband and six children to mourn her loss and to 
profit by her example.  May the blessings of God rest upon them.
