ULtBi Cranor DeiwL-
One or the saddest deaths
in this community was that of
of Mrs. John S. Cranor which
occurred last T bursday morn
ing about le ven,o clock It had
beeaseen for days, and espe
cially for the last twenty f our
hours her life Was'befhg.weigh
ed in the balance. Heaven
wanted her; so did1 wep and
heaven won her as the clock
stroke eleven- on last fateful
Thursday morn. Her God and
our God knew best 'and in His
omniscent wisdom He counted
the balance in -His favor and
took to the mansions eternal in
the heavens one of the kindest
and best women that ever
breathed;
Sarah Taylor Cranor was
born in Fayetteville, Septem
ber 15, 1844; married John S.
Cranor Nov. 27th, 1872. At an
early age she joined ihe Metho
dist church and lived a mosfc
devoted Christian life. She
leaves a husband and nine chil
drem
mi i
ine iunerai services were
conducted, at the Methodist
church by the pastor Mr.
Greene, assisted by Rev. , Mr
Robinson, Presbyterian pastor,
and Rev. Mr. Bradshaw, Bap
tist pastor. The church house
was draped in mourning and
many hundred people gathered
with sad souls to mourn her
loss-andpay the last, tribute of
respect to one we all loved as a
mother. The choir sang her
favorites "I Would Not Live
Always," "Sometime We'll
Understand,' "Abide With
Me" and "Lead Kindly Light.'
The tributes paid ? her memory
by the pastors were touching,
tender and truthful; there were
tears in e veryt eyje anck every
heart.' had sorrow throbs. After
the impressive service she was
laid to rest at tha town ceme
lery, .ano dvoriue tomo was
spread a floral offering.of love
and regret; and it was a heart
offering not a formal show.
Mrs. Cranor was. a woman of
rare endowments and splendid
womanly qualities. "Left alone
at an. early age by the death' of
her par ets,. s h took charge-of
the family and reared them as
would a loving mother, ov-jr
ooming all difficulties. In the
home circle she shone bright
est, the life and center of "at
traction. Losing tender, pa
tient, Mudaodh con-genialher
family loved and revered her
beyond description. She was
the frolicsome, confidential
playmate of her children and
the guiding star of the home
that pointed them .by word and
action to the higher life and
admonished them of the love of
Him who gave his life for all.
Not only, does tho loss fall
heavily upon the family, but
upon the entire neighborhood.
Such women, are few and Jtheir
places can never be filled again.
We append 'the followingjit
tle poem that she loved and the
family, loved and they now
place it to her ; memory as a
heart offering of. reverence and.
lovei.

"Asleep, thenas Thyself didst say, .
' Yet Thou canst lift the lids that keep
Her prisoned eyes from oars away,' . '
He smiled "She doth not sleep."
"Nay, then tho',-haply she do wake,
And look upon some fairer dawn
Kestore her to our hearts that ache." -
He smiled'She is not gone." r;
."Alas! 'tis well we know oar loss,
We hope again our joy to touchy- :
Until the stream of death, we cross.
He smiled -"There is no such."
"Yet our belored seem so far,
The while we-yearn to feel them near,
Albeit with Thee we trust they are"
He smiled "Audi am here."
