The influence of good on humanity is like drops of rain which revive the drooping life of plant and flower. They fall into the hearts of the weary and despairing and kindle life anew with hope and aspiration. They reopen the gates of love and affection and bid their crystal waters to flow forth to cherish and uplift the children of men everywhere. When the good die home loses its purest light, the community its most elevating influence, and religion its purest friend. If nature ever pours its tears in sympathy and grief over the losses of men, it lets them fall when the pure and good perish from the earth. The subject of this sketch, Mrs. Francis Hamilton, was one of the most beautiful and lovable characters it has been our lot to know. The daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Aaron Kimbrough, of Randolph county. She was born Feb. 19, 1826, and since girlhood has been a constant and consistent member of the Baptist church. She was united in marriage to F. T. Hamilton on Oct 8, 1845. This union proved a happy one. Six children, all of whom are grown and married, live to mourn the death of a loving mother who departed this life on Dec 19, 1891, at the age of 65 years and ten months. She was faithful and true in all her relations of life. As a daughter, wife, mother and neighbor she was an exemplar of the true Christian character. Faithful and obedient, true and constant, a perfect helpmeet as a wife, devoted and protecting as a parent, kind and benevolent as a neighbor. She filled all life's spheres with that loving charity that made her scores of friends and made every one better that came within her sphere. Truly, earth and humanity suffer when a good woman dies. She had been sick for several weeks and bore her suffering unflinchingly and patiently. When death came she passed through it to a higher life, leaving behind her the noble example of life well spent in service both of man and God. What would life be without these glorious examples along its pathway? If spirits return to watch o're earth no doubt she watches over husband and children with love and affection as when here, and in the great hereafter they shall meet again.
