The Schley County News  Friday, Aug 27, 1909  No. 33
IN MEMORIAM The gloom which is caused by the death
of our beloved sister, Mrs. T.J. Murphey, which
occurred the night of August 20, 1909, not only
effects the members of the M.E. Church South here,
to which she will be greatly missed, but is keenly
felt by our Foreign Missionary and Parsonage Aid
Societies, and our Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, each of which she was a faithful member for
years.  Of late, it has not been her privilege to be
at our meetings but she was ever prompt in the
payment of her dues and felt an interest in what
concerned the work, and we as members of the same,
would lay this tribute of loving esteem for one so
intimately woven in this work which portains to the
Kingdom of our Christ.  To know sister Murphey was
to love her, dignified in manner, courteous to all,
living the life of a true christian, she was an
example worthy of imitation, and we trust a double
portion of her loyalty to the church, and her quiet
spirit of good will to all may fall upon us who!
remain, and ever be a sweet memory in years to come.


One after another of the aged members of our village
are passing away, and soon the next set will take
our places, and one after another we will bid adieu
to scenes here, and others will follow, and we pray
God, as each passes away, may they have filled their
places with greater devotion to Him and to the
Church than those preceding them.  Whereas;  we
members of the Societies to which sister Mirphey
belonged--thereby be it


Resolved First-That we will empower her virtues, and
seek to perpetuate the kind deeds of her life, which
stands a halo of glory now that her earthly career
has ended and that she has entered the great
"Beyond" where we (who) love and serve the Lord will
soon meet to part no more.


Resolved Second-That we tender the bereaved husband
and each member of the family, our heartfelt
sympathy, praying that our Christ will sustain them
in this affliction, healing their wounded hearts,
and comforting them as His spirit alone can do.


Resolved Third-That a copy of this memorial be
placed on the minutes of our Foreign Missionary and
Pasonage Aid Societies and our Women's Christian
Temperance Union and a copy be sent to the Schley
County News for publication.


Mrs. C.H. Smith, Mrs. C.R.McCrory, Mrs. H.J.
Williams, Committee.
