with her parents to Montgomery
County where she grew to wo
manhood.
On July 26. 1923 death came-as
a sweet releose'to her suffering.
She told us so many times during
the last months, that if she, could
not get well she was willing and
ready to go, and was trusting in
Jesus.
She was always a kind, loving
and* obedient daughter and .so
devoted to her parents and home.
She was ,a loyal trustworthy
friend and always so ready and
willing to help those about her.
it can be truthfully said to know
her was to'love her.
it is so hard to part with her,
the last one of a family of four
but we feel that our loss is her
gain.
She leaves to mourn her death
father, mother, one nephew, two
nieces and a host of relatives and

swiftly,, unexpectly, the death

spirit of the dear father and hus
band of this homel So softly and
unexpectly did the end come that
no one hardly knew when he
passed across the Borderland that
seperates this earth from the
y^es of Eternity, Just as he had
expressed hiniself thru life num--
hers of times, the desire to leave
this world without any suffering,'
just so he was taken. But leav
ing a darkened hoffie.behiiid him,
a vacant chair an'di plow, that
never can bs filled. Never again
will that voice be heard giving'
the wise and sound advice that
he gave to each/and every one
who canie to him for such. His
words could always de felled upon
in business as well as personal
affairs.' But nq more will that
snowy white head be seen among
us. No . mpre.'^the soft silvery
laugh ring but as he exchanged
jokes with his friends. ^
He was born in upper Davie
near Calahaln in .1^2; making
him 71 years, 8 months and:26
daya of age.' He was married to
Isabella J., Cheshire and ^ this
union was born eleven children,
seven boys and four girls. Hon
esty was. the rantroling virtue on
which he built his successful car-
cfer. He was laid to rest in Joppa
