MRS. SARAH TAYLOR HASSELL Whereas, after,seventy-six years toiling in His vineyard', God in his in finite wisdom has seen fit to take Mrs. Sarah Rebecca Taylor Hassell to rest in her Heavenly Home; Whereas, the Presbyterian Church of Farmville has lost a faithful and devout member; Whereas, our Auxiliary has lost an earnest and ardent worker, who had the welfare of her church at heart; it is fitting that we record our appre ciation of her. ? Therefore be it resolved: That we, the members of the Pres byterian Auxiliary, do earnestly thank God for her life of Christian service, and for the inspiration she gave us by daily walking close to God; The removal of a friend and co worker jfrom our midst leaves a vac ancy and shadow that will be deeply realized by all our members, and tyill prove a gTevious loss in future years; That we express our deep sympathy to her family and relatives, in earnest hope that God may e^se their sor rowing hearts; ; That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the family, a copy included in the minutes of the Auxiliary, and copies be sent to the Church publica tions and to our local paper.

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT It is with sad hearts that we, the members of the Farmville Woman's Club record the death of our beloved friend and co-worker. Mrs. Sarah R. Hassell, who departed from us Decem ber 17, 1930. Her sweet congenial spirit endear ed her to all with whom she came in contact, and her death will be a keenly felt loss to the entire com munity, but in particular to the Wo man's Club, in which organization she wrought faithfully and effective iy. ?? ? . We feel however, that tl}e- influence of her sweet Christian character will ever abide with ua. Therefore be 'it re solved: First: That by her death this or ganization has lost one of its most honored members, and the commun ity a noble, godly woman, whose fel lowship and council will be sadly j missed. . Second: That we extend our deep est sympathy to her family. Third: That a copy of these, reso 1 lutions be recorded in our minutes, a ; copy sent to the family, and a copy - to the Farmville Enterprise for pub ! li cation. Mrs. J. L. Shackleford, ? Mrs. J.
