    Not for the dead in
    Christ we weep.
    Their sorrows now are o’er
    The sea is calm
    The tempest past
    On that eternal shore.

The husband and father passed away about a year ago. Grandmother was at the home of her son, E.M. Neely in Browning when she took sick, and gradually grew worse until death released her from her suffering. She prayed for deliverance, her agony was so great. Finally she was not, for God took her.
    On bread of mirth, and bread of tears, The pilgrim fed these checkered tears; Now landlord world, shut to the door, They guest is gone forever more.
    She was converted and united with the M.E. Church, S., while a class existed in old Scottsville, and never changed her membership. She was loyal to her church and loved God, home and family. She was a grand, good woman. She leaves to mourn her departure, those children named above, a goodly number of grandchildren, and other relatives and friends.
    "'Twas not in cruelty, not in wrath That the reaper came that day; 'Twas an Angel that visited the earth And took our mother away."
