IN MEMORIUM
Mrs. Albert D. Wayland
All who knew Mrs. Wayland will remember her as a noble wife, a true mother
and unselfish friend.  The influence of her sweet christian character will
ever remain one of the precious memories for those who loved her.  She
professed religion at twelve years of age and ever remained faithful to
the vows she made at that time when joining the M. E. Church South and was
always a faithful attendant and worker in the church when physically able.
She was home loving, looking after and caring for the members of her
family, cheering them on, giving words of advice and teaching them the
path of right.  They loved, honored her and respected her teachings.  They
know that while she rests from her labors, the influence of her life will
never die and they have the blessed hope of being a reunited family in
Heaven.
Many neighbors and friends attended the services at the M. E. Church South
last Thursday afternoon, showing the love and respect of those who had
been associated with her.  The deepest sympathy was expressed for the
bereaved husband and children.
