Armstrong, was born in Woodstock, Virginia, while her father was pastor of the Presbyterian church at that place and departed this life at Romney, West Virginia, December 2G, 1908. When very young she came to Roniney and with the exception of a few years spent her whole life here. She was the daughter of the Rev. Do. Wm. Henry Foote, so well known not oniy in Hampshire county but also throughout the church as the author of "Foote'e. Sketches of Virginia," his "Sketches of North Carolina," "The Huguenots,' and other works. Her mother was Eliza Wilsou Glass, daughter of the Rev. Joseph Glass, a member of the well known family of that name in Frederick county, Virginia. She, therefore, enjoyed the blessings of honored as well as of pious parentage. She was married May 1, 1849, her hus-. band preceding her to glory September a, one uimeci witn me Presbyterian church early In life, the exact date being unknown as the records of the church were destroyed during the war between the states. She was an intelligent Christian of deep piety, devoted to her church, thoroughly informed as to its doctrines, polity, and the great questions that differentiate it from other branches of Presbyterians, liberal in her love for all other evangelical denominations and intolerant of error, falsehood and sin. To her, fidelity to Christ meant fidelity to tli-? ruth. Possessed of moderate means, she was liberal in her gifts to the chruch, charitable to the poor, and open-handed in her geherosity to those who needed her benefactions. As a daughter, wife and sister, she was loving, tender and devoted, as a friend, true and genuine, as a neighbor, kind, sympathetic and helpful. She will be sadly missed not only by her church and Immediate friends, but by the whole community by whom she was admired and loved; but most of all Dy ner only sister, Miss Mary Belle Poote, who is the only near relative that survives her. The sweet fragrance of her life will long linger to bless the cominanity, as attested by the sympathetic congregation at the funeral services in her church, which were solemn and impressive. The text (Isaiah 12:1) was one repeated by her the last day of her life, as she was about to ascend triumphantly into glory. Perhaps the most conspicuous lesson we learn from her life is that, although an invalid the greater part of her life, requiring the care and ministrations of father, husband and sister, she was abun dant in good works and lived to bless many others. The life consecrated to Christ can find, and will find, abundant opportunities to be useful in His kingdom and an example of piety and good works to a whole community. To almost the very end she retafhed consciousness and interest in all about her, particularly in the tokens of love she had planned for her friends as Chris V . ' 'I TH. February 17, 1909. mas gifts. Of her, it may truly be said: "Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: fta, saith tl;e Spirit, that they may rest from their labors and their works do follow them" (Rev. 14:13). MRS. S. S. RANDOLPH. Resolutions cf the Ladies' Mite Society. Whereas, it hath pleased Our Heavenly Father in His all-wise providence to remove from our midst, by death.
