In Memoriam

Cornelia Mary ORMOND was born in Greene County, N.C. August 21, 1847; 
and died at the home of her niece, Mrs. H. L. WILKERSON, near Willow 
Springs, Wake county, November 8, 1928.
At the age of 14 she joined Ormond's Chapel Methodist Church and was a 
consistent member until her death. For the past ten years her 
membership has been with Fuquay Springs Methodist Church.
On May 17, 1866, she was married to J. H. C. TAYLOR. Though she had no 
children of her own she was a foster mother to two-orphaned 
children-Addie M. EDWARDS
(Mrs. H. L. WILKERSON) and Willie T. ORMOND of Norfolk, Va.
Mrs. TAYLOR was a faithful and loving wife and mother, devoted to the 
best interests of her family and community. She was always present at 
her church service when it was possible to be there. For the past two 
years sickness has kept her away. Her patience and cheerfulness during her 
long illness was noticed by all who visited her and it was a 
benediction to be with her.
She was the founder of Union Chapel Sunday School, near Hookerton, and 
acted as superintendent for several years. She also served as president 
of the Hookerton Woman's Missionary Society.
Since Mrs. TAYLOR has been a member of the Fuquay Springs Woman's 
Missionary Society she has been an example in faithfulness to her 
obligations as a member. Not being able to attend she would often write a letter 
of a beautifully worded prayer to be read at the meetings and we 
realized that she was with us in spirit.
We shall miss these testimonies of her abiding love and of her 
faithfulness to the Great Commission of our Saviour to "Go into all the world 
and preach the gospel to every creature."
We extend to her loved ones our deep love and sympathy and commend them 
to Christ the Comforter.
