Id the days of the prophet BUishfl
there was at Shanem *'A Great Wo*

Susan Richie. In yuung womaobood
for a number of yesurs Susan Jon^
rendered service of a great value to
her county as a public school teacher.
During this time she was active and
faithful in church work, a special 6e^
vice being tbat of secretary of tbe
Sundav school. Her married life
was spent io another community but
for about twenty one years of her
widowhood she lived among us again,
borne was center of hospitality
and helpfulness—a symbol of that
indescribable something one gained
by contact with her To. her tasks
whether it were her own household
duties, helping a sick neighbor, re
modeling a dress, appearing on P, T.
A, program or presiding over the
meeting of Woman's Missionary
Union she brought high degree of
go(Mi sense, efBeiency. depeodabitite,
balance and wholesome spirit. For
about twenty years oue was presid*
ent of Woman's Missionary Society
ofFarmtogtun Baptist church and
for a long time was financial secre
tary and treasurer of the church
and teacher of the Woman's Sunday
s^ool class. Her going from us in
June 19^ left an empty "House by
the Side of the Road" and a lonely
ache in the hearts of neigbbors,
friends and relatives who miss her;
yet in another sense sue sGli liviea
with us a shining example of the
power of God's grentlenesa to make
His servant great.
