P. Henderson, of Tyler, on Sunday the 27th day of September, 1885. She was converted about three years ago; joined the M. E. Church, South, the church of her fathers, and lived a devoted, Christian life. She died in full sight of heaven— conscious until the last moment of death. She passed away in peace, joy and triumph. She was first cousin to Miss Davie Hamilton, our own dear young sister of the Woman's Mission Board, and was deeply interested in mission work. In her last moments she spoke of her mission work, her little collections. It was my privilege to be with her in her last hours. I never witnessed a happier death. She rests in heaven. J. T. D.
