Death of Mrs. Adkins
Mrs. Adkins, mother of Mr. A. Adkins, of our town died at the residence of her
son last Saturday morning. She had been in bad health for some time and when
the summons came she answered quietly and peacefully as if she had lain down to
sleep. Mrs. Adkins was born in Mississippi and was perhaps 80 years of age; she
died April 2, 1898. Her remains were interred in the Fairfield cemetery last
Sunday morning, Rev. E.J. Brown officiating.

She was a kind Christian, a good woman and after a long and useful life, she
need rest well. We can but look back over the way of a long, long life and say
it is well; or we can look forward to a meeting with many we love, long years
gone before us, then death loses much of its sadness; for though we may weep it
is not as they who have no hope. The RECORDER extends sympathy to the relatives
in this their great loss.
