Death Of A Good Woman

Mrs. Jane Sergent died at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jenkins September 9th at 5 
a.m.  The funeral obsequies being conducted in a touching and beautiful manner 
by Rev. J.S. Jenkins, assisted by Rev. C.R. Jenkins.  “Aunt Jane”, as she was 
known, was in her 88th year, being ripe for heaven, she went peacefully to 
sleep, after a lingering illness.  She was not deprived, even in her infirmity, 
of her faculties, always greeting her friends with a smile and cheerful words, 
never a murmur escaping her lips.

Having united with the Episcopal church in early life, religion was no empty 
profession with her, but a deep and rich experience, felt by her and show to 
others by her unselfish and amiable disposition.  Her thought of others was 
remarkable, even on her bed of affliction, she especially inquired of absent 
loved ones.

Mrs. Sergent was reared in Charleston, S.C., had no near relatives, but her 
niece-in-law, Miss Harriet Jenkins, was as a true and faithful daughter, 
administering to her every want.

No tribute could be too great for one whose character shone with the clearness 
of crystal in its purity.

There is a vacant chair, an aching void; still, with gratitude we can say, “All 
glory be to Thee, O Lord, for they servant.”

C.E.M.
