Slocumb, Esq., passed away in death yesterday afternoon about 3 o'clock after a prostration of several days. To her the dark winged angel brought no fears. Long ago she placed her trust in Jesus and she knew that His grace would be sufficient even in the hour of dissolution. She was ready for the summons to come up higher. May her influence long survive, bringing comfort to the hearts of the bereaved ones, awakening deeper love for the God that she served and adding as the years pass by stars to her everlasting crown of rejoicing. Mrs. Slocumb was in the 74th year of her age and was one of Goldsboro's oldest residents. The funeral services will take place from St. Paul Methodist church this afternoon at 4 o'clock.
