IN MEMORY OF
GRANDMOTHER
Mrs. M?ry Jane Bryant was born
Oct. 9th, 1860, died Saturday, March
25th, 1933. Her stay on earth was
72 years, 5 months and 16 days.
We like to recall her life of ser
vice here on earth. She was kind,
gentle and loving to all she met.
She was never too tired to do any
thing that she could to help some
one in need. In the midnight hour
when someone was sick she wad
never too tired or sleepy to sit up
with them. .
Grandmother had great faith in
prayer. After she was taken sick
many a night she would call me to
get and pray for her, that God
"might give her some rest that
night. But we no longer pray for

grandmother now. Thank God, we
believe that she is sitting around
God's feasting table with Abraham,
Isaac, and Jacob, and all of the
saints that have gone on before.
But our reguest is for those left be
hind and that God might keep us
safe on the rock of ages until we
are called home to meet her.
She was taken sick eleven months
before she died. No one on earth
knows the suffering she went
through. But God knows best. He
only wanted to train and mold her;
for heaven. We miss her so much.
There is a vacant place in the
home, there is a voice we no longer
hear and a smile we no longer see.
But her vacancy on earth only
meant a filled place in heaven. Our
sorrows were only for heaven's joy.
Just before she died she called her
loved ones by her bedside and told
thm how she loved them. It was sad
to part and leave loved ones and
friends behind, but God had a bet
ter world for her where there would
be no disappointment, no crepe on
door, no more f uncraT tralh In" the
skies, no graves on the hillside of
glory. Oh, blessed Joy that is hers
now! Oh, grandmother, as we write
tonight we long to be with you. We
know that there will be no tears to
be shed up there, no more trouble.
But God has a work for me to fin
ish and then when our work is done
we will meet to part no more. We
know If grandmother could but
speak to those left behind she
would tel them to follow the foot
Steps of the Savior. Her parting!
V^ords were that she wanted to hear j
of all her folks going to heaven,,
and as she looked over the room she
said, "Farewell to all," and went to
another world to finish her service.

Bryant. July 21, 1933.

In Memory of Jack
son Garrett Copley
It is with a sad heart I will try j
to write a brief sketch of the sick
ness and death of our departed
loved one ? Jackson Copley.
Jack, being 13 years of age, was
born in Durham County, Oct. 21,
1920. When he was a tiny infant,
h!s mother died. Since then he
lived with his grandmother, Mrs.
Lizzie Oarrett. Jack was sick for
several years, having heart trouble.
He was carried to Watts hospital
for treatment. For several months
he continued to recover, and de
cided he wanted to come home.
Thinking he would continue to get
better, he was brought home. He
was taken seriously ill again and
was carried back to the hospital
again where he remained only a
week. God sent an angel and took
him to heaven. It is so sad to part
with one so near and dear to us,
but we will have to be submissive
to an all wise God who doeth all
things well. He said he was pray
ing and trusting in Jesus. We feel
he is sweetly resting in the arms of
Jesus to await the Resurrection
morn where all is peace and love.
Jack was a kind and loving child
and always had a smiling face for
every one. He was loved by all who
know him and him place can never
be flleld.
He is survived by a broken
hearted grandmother, Mrs. Lizzie
Garrett, and three aunts and four
uncles: Mrs. Albert Dean, Mrs.
Johnnie Elton and Miss Margaret
Garrett, Messrs. Johnnie, Hubert,
Roy and Ernest Garrett. Also his
father, Mr. Tom Copley.
He was Juried at Bethany Bap
tist church cemetery amidst a
mound of beautiful flowers. There
was a large gathering to see him
laid to rest.
Little Jack had just budded to
bloom In heaven. We can't under
stand now, but sometime, some
where, we will know.
Sleep on dear Jack
And take thy rest,
We loved you dearly.
But God loved you best.
