Funeral of Mrs. R. H. Binford held Saturday

Large Concourse of Sorrowing Friends Present to Pay Respects to Memory 
Of Good Woman

  Funeral services over the remains of Mrs. R. H. Binford, who died Thursday 
night at the family residence 4 1/2 miles northwest of town, were conducted 
at the residence Saturday at 1 o'clock Rev. J. A. Lowery, a former pastor of the 
deceased preached the funeral sermon and in a very impressive manner eulogized 
the life of this goo woman.
  The services were attended by a very large concourse of sympathizing friends 
and relatives and many beautiful flowers were placed on the mound.
  The grief stricken sons, daughters, and other relatives have the sympathy of the 
entire community in their hour of sadness and tenderest condolence is extended.
  The death of a mother is probably the saddest of any, for all realize that when 
that beloved form is laid beneath the sod the best friend on earth is forever gone 
and the tender ministrations are forever at an end.
  She is gone, but Heaven's jewels have a greater lustre since her passing.
