Fairfield Recorder, Fairfield Texas Friday, March 27, 1925 IN MEMORY OF MRS. M. A. RILEY On the morning of Feb. 18, 1925, Mrs. Mary Riley quitely and peacefully closed her eyes to that was mortal and opened them in the beautiful city of god. The ear that was almost closed to the voices of loved ones open to the heavenly choir and the chorus of the Angles. Her death was in accord with the life she had lived, a peaceful life. She lived for her God, her family and her friends. Her kindness and helpfulness went out to all around her and to all alike. And this life of service was appreciated. She gave to the world the best she had and the best came back to her. It came back in the devotion of her children and grandchildren in the constancy of her friends. We would have kept her but in gods own time he taketh back which is his, and while science, love, and devotion were doing all that was possible to keep the feeble life on earth the shining portals opened wide and angels whispered “Come”.
