G. and Addie Perdue, was born in Smith county, Texas, August 7, 1877. She and her little brother, Tommie, were baptized August 13, 1882, by Rev. A. H. Brewer; professed religion and joined the M. E. Church, South, received by Rev. A. Little August 30, 1887. She died November 6, 1891. Her mother died when she was near two years old, being left an orphan. She and her little brother, Tommie, found a home for several years with the writer of this notice. We soon learned to love them as our own children. She was patient under afflictions. A short time before she died she called her father, stepmother, little brother and mothers present and kissed them good-bye. Truly, while we may be sad and weep, we weep not as those who have no hope. She leaves one only brother, whose little heart was sad indeed when his only sister was gone. May God bless and take care of the family, and especially the brother, and may he never forget the counsel and example of his dear sister. P. O. TUNNELL.
