Death of Miss Julia Hnrdle.
Sunday evening, March the 13,
at half past two o'clock the death
angel visited the home of Mr. J,
M. Teer, of near Stainback, N.
C., and claimed for its victim
aunt Julia Hurdle, an aged blind
lady, 72 years of age. Our hearts
was saddened to hear of this
death, but we are sure she has
gone to her reward. She will be
missed in that and our home.
A precious one from us has gone
but not forgotten. We must
humbly bow to the vdll of Him
who deals gently and mercifully
with His children.
We extend to the bereaved
family our sincere spmpathy in
this hour of darkness. She was
sick but a short while with pneu
monia in both sides. All was
done for her that kind friends
and loving hands could do, but
all in vain. The Lord knew best.
Monday at half past two a large
crowd followed her to the Fon-
ville grave, where they laid her
to rest and await her call.
