She and her husband uniting with the Church about 20 years ago; both were baptized on the same day by Rev. C. C. WHITE. She was a devoted Christian, she loved her Church and pastor, she was an humble Christian, and loved by all that knew her. She leaves a husband and daughter, and many relatives to mourn for her. She was perfectly resigned to God’s will, during her long illness she was not heard to murmur or complain at her condition. May the husband and relatives prepare to meet her in the bright world where they will be united forever; where there is no death, no sorrow and no more parting; there to enjoy the peaceful rest provided for all those that love and put their trust in our blessed Savior.
