Royal, widowed consort of W.H. Royal, and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David O. Smith, formerly of Butler, died at the home of her son-in-law, Mr. R.A. Royal, last Thursday a.m. at 6 o’clock from heart failure, in the 81st year of her age. Her remains were interred in the cemetery at old Bethel church, in this county, last Saturday at 10 o’clock, the funeral service being conducted by Rev. Geo. K. Stephens. Mrs. Royal united with the Methodist church in January 1849, which gave her a continuous membership for more than 62 years, and during this long period of time she daily demonstrated the saving power of the God in which she put her trust. She was a woman of great faith and continued trust, and even in the hour of her darkest gloom she looked beyond the dark clouds into the smiling face of the Son of God. She was a woman not only of a strong faith, but one of a strong mind, clear in concept and safe in conclusions; a strong and safe advisor in matters pertaining to the church of her choice; patient with the erring, and ever ready to reach out the hand of rescue to the fallen. In her was embodied a usefully type of pure Christian womanhood. Faithful and true as a wife, loving and tender as a mother, kind and obliging as a neighbor and thus having lived, she was fully prepared to enter into the rest that remains for the people of God. Nine children remain to mourn the loss they have sustained This file has been created by a form at http://www.poppet.org/gafiles/ File size: 2.1 Kb
