Died

Mrs. Jennie Harmon, wife of Mr. Wm. J. Harmon, living a few miles south of town 
died Thursday the 23rd inst., and was buried at (word blurred, maybe Bethel) 
church on Friday at 10 o’clock.  She had been in feeble health for several 
months and was a great sufferer from a complication of disease.  The death of 
Mrs. Harmon though sad was by no means unexpected as in her dying moments she 
called her mother, her husband and four loving daughters to her bedside she 
bade them a long, loving farewell and sweetly fell asleep.  She was a loving 
mother, a devoted wife and Christian lady.  To her loved ones we point them to 
the Savior in whom she trusted for comfort and consolation.  A more extended 
notice will appear in our next issue.

In Memoriam

Mrs. Jennie Harmon, wife of W.J. Harmon and daughter of Mrs. Fannie Cox, of 
Taylor County, Ga., after a long and painful illness quietly fell asleep on the 
22nd of Nov. 1893, aged 37 years one month and nineteen days.  She leaves a 
devoted husband and five loving children, all of whom are girls.  She had been 
confined to her bed for several weeks and her sufferings were great; but she 
bore them with such patience and fortitude as is only witnessed in a 
Christian.  All that medical aid, a fond and devoted husband, loving children, 
mother, sister, brothers and friends could do, was done to alleviate her 
sufferings, all to no effect.  She was perfectly rational and when asked is she 
was willing to die she said she was – her only regret being to leave her 
husband and children; and as the hand of death was very near, she called her 
mother and told her, “she was nearly gone.”  “Tell them all good by.”

While a large family connection grieve for her apparently untimely departure as 
of its brightest, purest, loveliest jewel, everyone that knew her loved her; so 
modest, gentle and lovable was her character.  But while all sorrow as they 
sorrow not as those who have no hope.  For a while she left many and 
unmistakable evidences during the past few years of a change of heart and 
acceptance with God, she gave the brightest in her death in the full triumph of 
faith, fearing no evil.  She was prepared to go when the Master called.  Thank 
God for a religion that saves; that enables the soul to look at death and the 
grave without fear or alarm.  So she lived; so she died.  May God grant an 
unbroken family in the “home over there.”

Her remains were interred at Bethel church on Friday morning the 24th of 
November 1893, at 10 o’clock, witnessed by a large crowd of sorrowing relatives 
and friends.
