Mary E.len Erummitt was born Jan uary lS8a and cn the 23th of March 1910 h:r sprt crossed the tar to rneut her riot. Her remains were interred at Corinth, Baptist Church. The serv ces were conducted by her pa-. tor, Rev. E. M. Lasittr. Hies sub ject was, "I go to prepare a place for you." Many of her favorite hymns were sang. Among them "Asleep ?n Jesue." 'the pall bearers were Messrs. Ben Pit s, Ham Iiarrs, Clarence Harris, Lee Oveatcn, Buxton Averett and Arhie Clay. The f o.al bearers were Messrs ! W. T. Yancey, B. S. Royster, J. I. I Gordon, and A. P. Overtcn. The large crovd gatheed showed soiue- thing cf the high esteem in which she was held. We can not realise that our handsome noble Mary has gone from us. She was attending school at Oxtord Seminary and was exposed to measles. She came hosme and tell a prey to the disease wb cii terminated in pneumonia. Ehe was sack enly about sixteen days when isha was called to join her loved ones and friends who hadgone before. At the age of fiiteen she confessed faith m her cav cur a: d united with Peace Chapei Baptist Church from which be took a let'er to Corinth Bap tist Church. And was a consistent member of this church until her death. I have known Mary since ch Idhocd. he was a most obedient daughter, a loving sister, a kind neighbor, a cevcut christian and a ioyal friend. In all my knowledge of her I have never known her to be morose or pessimistic. Not that she looked on Lte carelessly, but as soma thing real, always remembring that "true wjivh is in te'ng, not seeming.' She loved the Sunday School and no one took more pride inis or her class than she. Although she was not always convenient to her church she was sure to lend aaelp.ng hand j whare it was needed. In her whole life she was very considerate ot -ua ub opTJin joasu puaj ojdoad aeqao kind remark about any person. She She was very studious and was do ing good work in. school. Our s;n cer st sympathy goes out ta the r ef stvicken fami'y. We can only say look to the Fa. her, who doeth. all things well. We sh;ll sleep, but not forever There will be a glorious dawn. We shall meet to part no never On tha resurrection morn. We shall sleop, but not forever In the lone and s" lent, grave; Blessed be the Lord that taketh, Biesoed be the Lo d that gave. In the bright eternal city De th can never, never come In h's on good time He'll call us From our rest to Koine, Sweet Home. DORA. One Conductor Who Was Cured.
