probably "The Index"
On Wednesday morning January the 25th near midday the weary spirit of our 
beloved mother quietly winged its way to God whom she ever loved and trusted; 
to join, in the Paradise of God, the dear companion who had preceded her.  
Mary Florence, the eldest daughter of Jacob H. and Nancy J. Sanders was born 
December 17, 1869 and passed away January 25 being 61 years, 1 month and 7 
days old.  She was married to Lafayette G. Chaney March the 15th 1885, who 
preceded her in death August 14, 1917.  To this union was born nine children, 
four boys and five girls.  Otho died in infancy and Alvin passed away at the 
age of eleven.  Those who survive her are Orel H., Leslie J., Nannie, Alice, 
Lou, Anice, Fayette.  She professed faith in Christ in her early teens and 
united with the M.E. church South at the Old Liberty church.  Later her 
membership was transferred to Hermitage church where she was a conscientious 
and obedient member.  Her entire life was spent in the community where she was 
reared.  Her life was as an open book.  Each day was lived as though it was 
the last.  She was natures model of true womanhood, kindly of heart, devoid of 
selfishness, sympathetic, generous and full of charity.  She devoted her life 
to the interests of those about her.  These truest gems of character were made 
manifest in actions rather than words.  She was a lover of Gods word.  During 
the past several years she had been a close student, never allowing a day to 
pass without gleaning its pages for the wonderful lessons taught.  She 
despised shams and hypocrisy and loved the truth and simplicity.  The luster 
of her high character, unselfishness and devoted life will always illuminate 
the lives of those she left behind, in this as a mother, she left us the 
richest heritage.  Her lifes mission is ended, her labors of earth are o'er.  
She has passed on to join that innumerable throng in the paradise of God where 
all the sufferings of life are over.  Then let us sorrow not as those who have 
no hope for we shall soon join her and be forever with the Lord.  The 
Children.
