Britt, after two days of interne NLffering, triumphantly passed into rest eternal July 12, 1223 at 2:80 p. m., age 62 year*, heart failure being the cause of hit death. He was taken on Tuesday while at work with a severe pain in his breast and suffered severe attacks before death claimed him on Thursday. Mr. Britt Joined the M. E. church when quite young and was always a faithful attendant when health would admit. His health failed nearly two years ago when he had .two severe attacks of influenza. He was a mar of strong faith in God, he loved hit church and. expressed himself at al] times as being ready to go, simply waiting for the call. Being sick only a short while his death was altogether unexpected, and a great shock to his loved dnes and friends. His two oldest daughters being away at the time, but the sum mons came for him to try the realities of another world and he passed away as quietly as a tired child going to sleep. Mr. Britt was a faithful worker in tl^e church that he loved so well, and was always a member of the official board. He was very anxious to see a new church built in Ahoskie before he died. So often, our Heavenly Father calls his lovVd ones home in a way that seems to us mysterous, we can only trust Him and remember His words to us "What 1 do thou knowest not now, but thou shalt know here after." We know our Heavenly Father is too wise to err and what he Joeth is all for the best, and He will support and comfort all whose hearts are'sad because of this dispensation of His providence. Mr. Britt leaves to mourn their loss, a wife, six children, six sisters, and one brother, who have our sin cere sorrow and tenderest sympathy in their bereavement, as they sit in the shadows, may they look up through their tears to His blessed promise "X' will not leave you com fortless but will send you a comforter who will abide with you even to the end of the world." The funeral services were conduct ed at the home on Friday afternoon at four o'clock by his pastor, Rev. S. T. Barber, in an impreaaive manner among- a large C|rowd of Borrowing i relative* and friend*.
