H. G. Summers.  Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather, many of her sorrowing relatives and friends were present to attend these last sad rites.  After the funeral her remains were tenderly placed in the grave near the church, by loving hands, there to await the final summons on the resurrection morn.  Harriet STAHL, (nee  BOSTWICK), was born June 6, 1837.  She was therefore 61 years, 5 months and 27 days old at her death.  She was married to Wm. P. STAHL September 13, 1854.  As a result of their marriage 15 children were born unto them, 11 of whom are still living.  Before her marriage, when quite young, she gave her heart and life to God, and united with the Missionary Baptist church.  She remained in this church till her marriage, manifesting a consistent Christian  life and character by her daily walks.  After her marriage to Mr. STAHL, she joined the Southern Methodist Church, because she prefered to have her membership with that branch of church, to which she remained the rest of her life - - a worthy and acceptable member - - working harmoniously side by side with her husband, 44 years 2 months and 20 days.  Thus she was a true help-meet in the church, as noble as in the worldly pursuits, and common walks of life.  Mrs. STAHL was one of those rare specimens of true Christian womanhood that is seldom met with.  Indeed she seemed to possess all the Christian graces in a marvelous degree.  Enemies; she had none.  Every one that knew her was her friend.  She had a pleasant smile and a kind word for every one she met. She seemed to love everybody, and everybody seemed to love her.  She was the embodiment of love and kindness.  Yet when it was necessary to stand for the right, she was unflinching, and as firm as "The eternal rocks."  Always solicitious for the welfare and comfort of others, she seemed to lose sight of herself, and to forget to be careful of the things that would redound to her own pleasure and comfort.  Even during her last illness while suffering it seemed all that it was possible for one to endure, she manifested more concern for the comfort of those who were ministering to her wants than for her own self.  Unselfishness!  It was one of her chief  characteristics.  Mrs. STAHL was a faithful wife, a kind, loving mother, a true and devoted friend and a pleasant neightbor.  When it became evident to her that she was very near the end she said:  "All is well, all is well.  I have been washed, made pure and white in the blood of the Lamb and I am ready to go."        She then requested those who were present to meet her in Heaven and said:  "It will not be long till we all meet again."        Thus closed a beautiful and unselfish life on earth and thus Heaven became  the recipient of another happy soul.  Farewell! dear sister, Farewell!  "We waft our love to thee across the border land of the unseen and declare by the grace of God the heritage is ours and that we will soon join thee in the realm of a blissful immortality."      S.
