BY MxiBTlIA A. HINTON.
IX MEMuKA" OF HER SISTER FRANCIS.
My sister ’.s gone to realms above,
AVherc all is peace, joy amplove;
She is gone unto the grave
To rest in Christ, who died to save.
It was on the twenty-fourth of May,
AA’hen God, in love, called her away :
Rhe left ns all alone to weep—
AVe almost tlien forgot to sleep.
iSlie was dying one night and day,
Andtlu' her flesh was cold as clay ;
Rhe was conscious till the last,
And knew all that ’rouad hor paaeed,
Rhe suffered more than tongue can tell,
I hope with Christ she does now dwell—
AATth him remain forevermore.
On Canaan’s peaceful happy shore.
AVith her bad cough she could not sleep,
AATth her drawn hands she could not eat,
Her poor feet long ceased to walk.
But her precious tongue could ever talk.
I was her nurse from first to last.
And told lier of all that was said or passed
To her I was ever true and kind—
Rhe said, The best friend she could find.
Rince I hay^e lost my dearest mate,
I feel so lone and desolate :
How often do I sigh and weep,
And dream of her when I’m asleep.
I often cast my eyes around.
My sweetest friends cannot be found ;
Ro many times I weeping sigii.
That my poor sister is not nigh.
So many miles together we’ve walked,
Ro many hours together w^e’ve talked,
Ro many nights tOf,eilier we’ve sle2Jl—■
But now I’m left alone to weep.
AA’^lien she thought she was going to die.
She gave me her hand and said. Good-bye 1
A'ou, my sister, I’m sorry to leave,
But yvhen I’m gone, you must not grieve.
I stayed with her more than the rest,
Because she did love me the best—
And by lier side I’J often lie,
For yvell I knew she soon would die.
She got so liclpless, poor, and weak,
AVe had to turn her in a sheet;
AVe’d all stand round and rub her feet—
Her conversation to us was sweet.
If I could, at her death rejoice,
And no more tliink of lier sweet voice ;
But since I’v lost her I dearly love,
I’m like the lonely turtle dove.
I grieve that I have no grace,
And cannot clMm that happy place ;
I am so sinful, weak and blind.
No hope beyond the grave 1 find.
If I could reach the blissful place,
A'Vhere Jesus shows his smiling face,
And meet her on that heavenly shore,
AATiere parting Aviil be known no more.
Then I could ever think of her
As one not lost, but gTne hnforc,
As only waiting far aboye.I
To yvelcomo me whom she loved.
AVe did send for a m^Fphysician,
AA’lio understood hi'PIrd'condition:
He would come and ease her pain,
But soon it w’ouhl return again.
AVliile on lier bed weak slic’d lie,
Doctor Whitley was her cry ;
We’d send for iiiin in greatest liaste,
Because we knew 'twas a doubtful case.
He attended her both day and night,
And nursed her with great delight—
Around her bed lie’s often stood,
And did everything for her he could.
While on her bed so long confined,
Her neighbors were all good and kind—
They called in to see lier when they passed
And held out faithful till the last.
Now J must close, lay down my pen:
This to the I’rimitives you may send.
To let all know she died complete,
And sleeps in Jesu.®, oh, how sweet!
he. Ills patience and meekness, under af
fliction, could but be admired by all who
visited him, and made him especially dear to
his family.
The writer of this spent a night with him
a short time before his death, and during the
time I was with him never heard a complain
ing sigh or murmuring groan. When I part
ed with him he said, He did not expect we
would ever see each other again in this
world. He is gone, we trust where the wick
ed cease from troubling and the weary are at
rest. lie leaves a wife and four children to
mourn their los.s, together witli a large num
ber of relations and friends, "who will often
think of him.
Now free from pain and every woe,
That often caused him grief.
And made him cry while here below,
To God who gives relief.
His heart no more will heat with fear.s,
And doubts that rage withiu,
His eyes no more will drop the tears
Of sorrow for his sir. J. Hall.
J T becomes my painful duty to write the
obituary of my dear cousin, sister Mary
R. Faititfui., who was the daughter of
brother Hardy and sister Harriet Parker^
—she survived all their children. She
was born October 17th, 1813, and was mar
ried to brother AVm. Faithful Dec. 31st, 1854)
and professed a hope in Christ Jesns in May
1855, and was received a member of the
church at Lawrence’s the fourth Sunday and
was baptized by Elder Aaron Davis. She
leaves a husband and many relatives to mourn
their loss. Slie was an affectionate wife, good
neighbor, and a consistent member of the
Primitive Baptist Church. Her heart and
doors were ever open to receive the brethren.
Her seat was never vacant except by sick-
ne.ss. She was established in the faith of the
gospel, salvation by grace. Her disease was
supposed to be cancer of the stomach. She
had been gradually sinking but kept up near
ly all the time until last August. SJl^Dore
her affliction w'ith Christian fortitude and was
willing to go and dwell with herhleased Je.sus
forever and ever.
IJer funeral was preached by Elder John
Stamper, from Rev. 14: 13.
AA’e might extend our remarks in regard to
the very high estimation in which our de-
])arte'0 sister was held, not only in the Law
rence church, hnt by all the churches of our
—Kehukee Association.
May God comfort lier bereaved husband
and mourning relatives, and sanctify the dis
pensation to the church is my prayer, for
Jesus’ sake. Louisa King.

Flat Shoals, Ga., March 8th, 1875.
'iilder P. D. Gold:—
FEW weeks ago I received a letter from
sister Britton, requesting me to write out
an obituary notice of the death of our
dearh' beloved father in Israel—Elder Em-
m.niuel Britton. But, the same mail that
brought the request brought the Lani)>{Akks
containing a notice written by W. G. Flo.ycl.
Yet, being intimately acquainted with him
for tlic last eighteen j'ears of his life, and ac
cording to the request of his wife, I .submit
the following remarks for publication:
I know it is natural for ns to consider onr
own case as being the worst of all, and it doe.s
seem that the removal ©f our dear Pastor
from the service of his ble.sscd Master, was a
lioavier stroke than in mo.st oases. Truly it
may be said, That he was beloved as a man
by all that knew him ; but the doctrine he
preached found its haters, hut not among tlie
faithful in Christ .Te.sus. He was noted for
kindness and affahiliqv of manners, ami as for
doctrine, he wuis ;ibove reproach only as it
came from the haters of truth. The 'disease
(paralysis) that cau.sed his death seems to
have been iiererlitary, from the fact that the
most of his brothers and sisters died or the
same. Tie was nearly helpless for more than
a year before his death, but yet he would vis
it his church when he was really not able to
go at all. His whole soul was enlisted in the
cause of Ms .Master till the last. He served
ns as an undershepherd at Enon for twenty
years and Ms services .seemed to be as fresh
and acceptable at the last a.s at first. His
theme in the pulpit and around the family
circle wa.s, Chiist crucified, the way, the
trntli, and the life.
May the Great Shepherd of the sheep sup
ply our every legitimate want at.d be the
everlasting consolation of his dear wife and
family, together with all the fleck over the
which the Holy Ghost had made him over
seer. E. C. Thbaseu
