Mrs. C. C. Sanford A Good Woman Gone. Id the death of Mrs. 0. 0. San ford, which occurred at her homt; in this city last Monday morning, July 5th, Moeksville loses one of her best women, tbe chnrch one of its most faithful memboi'S, the hus band a kind aud loving wife, aud the children tbe best of mothers. Mrs. Sauford bad been ill only a short time, and her death, while uot unexpected, cansed a deep gloom to settle over tbe entire town. Mrs. Sanford was a couais- tent member of the Presbyterian church, an earnest aud faithful worker in the viueyard of the Lord, and her friends were nnro bered by the score. She leaves a bnsbaod, six sons and two daugh- lets to mourn her loss. Tbe bods are Messrs. Will, Frank, Bufus, £Mward, Hugh and John, the two fiist uamed liviug in Chattanooga, Messrs. Hugh and John being li'av eliug men, aud M^rs. Bufus aud Edward living in this city with their parents. The two daughters are Mrs. Robert Faucette, of Dur- bam, aud Mi^Hary Sanford, of this city. Mrs. Sanford was alKtnt 66 years of age. Tbe fnceral ser vices were conducted Tuesday af* ternooQ by her pastor, Bev. E. P. Bradley, after which tbe remains were gently laid to rest in Joppa cemetery to await that glad moru wfacu the dead in Christ shall rise and see Him face to faee, and take up their abode on high, where there is no more sorrow, no more tears, and no more partings. Mrs. Sauford will be missed from the home, from tbe cbuicb, and by her friends who are left behind, but she leaves a lasting InflaeDce which will Lever die, bat live on and on through the ages to come. Much more conid be said concerning this good mother in Israel who has been called to her eternal home beyond this vale of tears, bat what greater tribute could be paid her than to say that she was a Chris tian. All other thingtt fade into nothingness when the death angel visits the home and plucks the choicest flower, aud tbe spirit takes its fli'^'bt. She is not dead, but sloepeth. The great Book of Books says chat ^'Blessed are they which die in tbe Lord." To the aged and bereaved husband, and to the sons aud daoghtera who have lost their mother—tbe dearest and best friend on earth—The Record ex- teuds deepest sympathy and points them to the great Comforter who has promised to be a Father to the orphan, and who has also prom ised to be comfort the sorrowing, to Him who doetb all things well.
