Miss Lenna Cameron Died Tuesday Morning

It has been said and it seems truthfully too, that “death loves a shining mark.”
 So when the swift winged messenger claimed Miss Lenna Dora Cameron as its
victim, the truthfulness of the adage was again verified.

Miss Lenna, as she was familiar known, was born in this county August 26, 1874,
and joined the Methodist Church of Butler when thirteen or fourteen years of age
and to those who knew her well, it would be superfluous to say that she was a
Christian, for they knew she was. It was clearly evidenced in her conversation
and maintained by her during life. She was not demonstrative in her life, either
socially or religiously, but rather an even tenor pervading her entire demeanor,
manifesting that she was guided and directed by a “Power” within and in which
she solely confided for that guidance, which day by day and hour by hour so
beautifully portrayed the sustaining and keeping power of God’s grace appointed
to his children.

She, as other members of the family, are much indebted to the sweet disposition
and consecrated life of a sainted mother for the strong characteristics which
dominated Miss Lenna in her life, and which are moving and actuating other
members of her family.

Miss Lenna suffered long with a lingering illness, yet she bore her suffering
with patience and Christian fortitude, oftentimes expressing the sweet assurance
of her acceptance with God and readiness to depart and be with Him where
suffering and sorrow are unknown.

Tuesday morning at 10:30 o’clock her sweet spirit disrobed of the tenement of
clay was wafted to the home and heaven of the good.  The funeral service was
conducted from the Methodist church by her pastor, Rev. L.A. Harrell, the
interment taking place at the Butler cemetery.  She leaves three brothers,
Messrs. J. (article torn), J.C. and M.R. Cameron, all of Butler, also three
sisters, Mrs. –(article torn) lia (Julia?) Boland, of Oxford; Mrs. H.J. (article
torn) orter (Porter?) and Miss Annie Cameron, of Butler, to mourn their
departure of this, their beloved sister.

To these bereaved ones the Herald extends sympathy.
