Besides her husband she leaves six children, six brothers, one sister and a host of relatives and friend*. We shall all miss her—how sad the parting! But may the Lord in his goodness comfort the bereaved ones. Weep not, loved ones. Weep not as those who have no hope but prepare to meet her in heaven. She can not come back to us but, thank God, we can go to her. The funeral was conducted by Elder J. W. Wyatt after which she was laid to rest in the cemetery at Yelving ton’s Grove. “She is sleeping, sweetly sleeping To await the judgment morn; When the Lord shall call the holy On the resurrecton dawn.” A sister-in-law, GURNIE PEEDIN.
