     the patience of a true Christian.  She was esteemed by all that knew her and noted
     for her kindness and skillfulness among the sick, ever ready to render her services
     to the sick and afflicted. Within this year past she was stricken down with that fatal
     disease, cancer internal. She suffered great pain and distress of body, but peace was
     in her soul. When in extreme distress she often would say, "My savior suffered
     more than this."  She bore the pain and distress as usual through life, with the
     patience of a true Christian until her master called her home to that better world
     where sickness, pain and sorrow are known no more.

     L. and A. S. Jenkins.  Rarely has it been the lot of parents to part with two more
     loving and interesting children. But God takes the fairest gems of earth to adorn
     Heaven.
                                      As vernal flowers that scent the morn,
                                         But wither in the rising day,
                                      Thus lovely was their infant dawn,
                                          Thus swiftly flew their life away.
                                      They died to sin-they died to care,
                                         But for a moment felt the rod,
                                      Then rising on the viewless air,
                                          Spread their wings and soared to God.
