Monday morning about 6:30 o'clock the gen tle spirit of Miss Sallie Harrell passed to Ihe Great Beyond. She had been a sufferer for nearly five months, hav ing first been stricken with paralysis and later developing an acute stomach, trouble. At limes her suffering was intense in spite of every tiling that lot tug bauds could do, and she bore it with infinite patience, never com plaining at her lot. However her great desire was to be well again and be of service to her beloved family and friends. When she realized this impossible she was perfectly resigned to go. She expressed herself as bet ing loth to leave her family, whom she loved with an unusual devotion. lor she had been so happy with them. but she fell she could not be with longer and was ready and willing to answer the summons. Thus she died in the glorious faith of our Fathers. The life of this noble woman was one of sen ice. Service to her family. to her friends, to her community. Being Ihe oldest daughter and next to the oldest of eleven children, she was an invaluable aid and comfort to her mother in Ihe home. This close companionship with her saintly moth er lert its ttt pression upon her. and the life of the daughter was but a carrying iti of the pre-eminently noble life ;!-.e mother. Gradually, as the moth' t's health began to fail the daughter a snmed Ihe responsibil ities of the home and devoted her time 10 the c. 1 .- of her mother and the home, and when the summons came Waving mot iter's place vacant. liss Sallie filled that place to her brothers and sisters 11s nearly ns it could be filled. Where she was they considered that home. All who knew Miss Sallie Harrell, loved her. She was so unselfish, so loyal and sym pathetic In her friendshiii, c.lways seeking out those who needed com forting and giving lavishly of her deep, humane love for every one. She was equally ready to rejoice in thfl good fortune of those about her, and to serve in any way was her special delight. In her passing ihere is not only an irreparable loss to her fam ily, but the entire community has lost a friend whose like will not soon be found aiain. Miss Harrell was born at the old Harrell homestead about nine tulles from Marshville and was reared there. Eater the family moved lo Marshville and thU was ever after her home.. She kept house for her brother, Mr. Frank Harrell until about three yean ago when she went to make her home with another brother Mr. H. A. Har rell. She was about 48 years of age at the time of her death. She joined the Baptist church in early girlhood and was a faithful christian woman. She is survived by the following sisters: Mesdames Pluninier Stewart of Charlotte, J. Hurley Griffin of Marshville, E. J. Banks of Oklahoma City and Miss Jean Harrell of Atlanta. The following brothers survive: Messrs. Tom Harre'l of Atlanta. Joe Harrell of Memphis. Teiin.. Frank L., William O. Horace A., and James 3, Harrell or Marshville.
