Mrs. J. N. H. Clendenin Dead.
After several weeks' illness, Mrs.
Elizabeth Catharine Clendenin, wiie
of Mr. J. N. H. Clendenin, died at
her home here yesterday, Dec 11th,
1918, at 20 miniutea to 12 o'clock,
ijn the 82nd year of her age. She
t was the only daughter of Jacob
Long and hia wife and was born
and reared at the old Long home
stead two miles East of Graham.
During the Civil War she was unit
ed in marriage with Mr. J. N. H.
Clendenin, then a Confederate sol
dier, Dy their uncle, the late Capt.
John R. Stockard, Justice of the
Peace. To this union were born
five daughters and two sons. Two
of the daughters are dead. The
surviving children are Mrs. J. F.
Peterson of Hickory, Mrs. N. G.
Newman of Elon College and Mrs.
C. C. Thompson, Graham, R. F. D.
No. 1, Frank Clendenin of Graham
and Geo. L. Clenden in the west

she is survived by the following
brothers: Rev. Dr. W. S. Long or
Chapel Hill, Rev. Dr. D. A. Long
of Burlington, Col. Jacob A. Long
of Graham and Judge B. F. Long

Mrs. Clendenin was a devout
christian, a faithful and devoted
wife and mother and one of the
kindest of neighbors. As a woman
in all the relations of life she was
one of the best—none better. Her
life was one ftl devotion to her
Creator, her family and her friends.
The many acquaintances, wherever
they may be, of the days gone by
will learn of her death with sin
cerest regrets.
The funeral services will be con
ducted from Graham • Christian

noon by Revs. Drs. W. W. Staley
of Suffolk, Va„ and J. U. Newman

YOUR BOY.
4 . '
t By Henry van Dyke.
Your lioy has fallen on the field
of honor, a brave defender of
■ rjghteousnese, humanity and free
i doin. May a stranger, who {• also
A friend, rentnre into the sacred
quiet of your sorrow to say a word
i of sympathy and comfort?
i He was your baby, your own
flesh of your flesh, bone of your
, bone—a long time you carried
, him under your heart. But all
I the while you wanted him to be a
; man, true and fearless. He was.
He heard his country's call. He
, counted not-his own life dear, but
offered it gladly ta defend the
; world from the meunce of Prus-
I si AH paganism.
Weep for him, yes, but do not
forget to be proud of him, and to
rejoice in him. No possible end
ing of his earthly life could have
been more glorious, more reward
ing for all that you have done for
him, than UUH. He went forth,
an American boy—your boy—to
flght for the lifterty and tho peace
i of the world. You made him and
; you sent him. It is your right and
duty to be proud of him.
Do not be anxious about his lot
in the unseen world. Leave that
to the Righteous God who is the
Father of us all, and toChrist who
said: "He that loseth his life for
my sake shall find it." Self-sacri
flce is the key to heaven.
You will never forget your boy.
Do not think of him as dead, but
us living—living! Be sure that
lie will look down from fields of
eternal peace upon that viptory
over the German war lords which
iia surely coming, and which he
, helped to win. Be sure that you
will see him again in a better
world—
"Where loyal hearts and true
Stand ever in the light, *
All rapture throuca and through,
In God's most noly sight."
Used to hear nn old negro song
about "The Other Side o' Jordan,'

have been devoted to war garden
