who doeth all things well, is above
all and He giveth and taketh away,
according to his pleasure.
It has pleased Almighty God to
remove from our midst the old fa
miliar face and chrisflan woman, the
dutiful and affectionate wife of Mr.
John M. Uzzell, Mrs. Annie Uzzell
in the 79th year of her life.
She had been a consistent member
of the Primitive Baptist church for
25 years and wTas an honor and credit
to the Church as well as to her num
erous relatives and friends.
She leaves a husband, worn out
with age, over 80 years old, three
loving children and several grand
children to mourn the loss of so good
and faithful a friend of them all.
She lived a christian life always
and was true to the end, and always
put her trust in God and realized
that He was God and her onlySaviour,
She died happy and seemed to be at
rest, yes, perfectly at rest in her last
hour of sickness. A Feiend.
