She left a father, mother, five sisters and one brother and a host of friends to mourn her loss. She taught the winter term of school at Possum College last winter and then coming home addressed herself to domestic duties and efforts for the welfare of the Sunday School. Her friends in the neighborhood were congratulating themselves on the fact that one so amiable, so loving and so accomplished had returned home and her Sunday School superintendent had allowed himself to rest with satisfaction on the thought that he was reinforced by her co-operation when, alas! she was violently assailed by disease and after a brief period of great suffering fell asleep on the 23rd day of May, 1903, to awake no more until the day of resurrection. It is almost impossible to associate death with one so bright and lovely as she was. We had missed the sweet sunshine of her presence so much the pat winter in our Sunday School and had often spoke of the great loss we felt it to be. On the occasion of her funeral the depth of the sympathy of the community was manifested by the large attendance at the church. (The rest is pure sermon, omitted for time constraints). 19 June 1903--Born, on the 15th, to D. G.
