Virginia Elisabeth Bitting, eldest daughter of th« late Dr. and Mrs. Hollingsworth. was born on August, 19th, 1848; died on November 12th, 1917, age 59 years, 2 months and 23 days. On the 6th day of April, 1M9. she was married to Joseph H. Bitting. Te this anion ware born four chiidrea: Walter, Mary, Hollingsworth, and Virginia. Only her two daughters, Mrs. T. N. Brock and Mrs. B. Y. Gra ves survive her. In girlhood she professed faith in Christ and joined the Methodist church She later in life transferred her mem bership to the Presbyterian church of which she was a devoted member at the time of her death, and of which her influence is still a par', although her soul has passed into the Church Invisible in that City "Whose builder and maker is God." Mrs. Billing's life wa< lived in Sur ry County. Those who knew her in young womanhood remember her ax j a young woman of charm and beauty j and of noble character. Those who; knew her in other days saw in her a wife and mother whose greatest pas sion in life was to bring happiness and comfort to others. And those who have known her in these latter days have seen in her Ufa—tried in the fires of sorrow, suffering and service—the real pure gold of character and Chris-1 tianity. Skeptics may scoff at the religion of Christ ;critics may doubt the Divinity of the Christ; the wicked may discount the power of Christ; hut what will they do with a life like this ? " In serving God she has left a record of love and service that shall remain as a cherished memory, and in honor ing her memory, let us emulate her example of a life "hid with Christ in God."
