Sister Talley was converted when about 17 years of age and united with the M. E. church. She was a member of the Church for about sixty-one years. She was the second of twelve children and the last to depart this life. For the last two years of her life she was much afflicted, being partially paralyzed and blind, but she bore her sufferings patiently. She said she was willing and ready to die and only asked to die an easy death, which she did. Her husband, John F. Talley, preceded her to the spirit world just one month. She leaves four children, two sons and two daughters, to mourn their loss, but to her it was doubtless all gain. "To die is gain." She lived well and died well. W. J. OWENS. Troupe, Texas.
