ESTHER SIDNEY BUCHANAN.
An Appreciation.
This noble woman entered into the
glory on April 5, 1909, leavihg behinu
her such an influence for good and such
an example of beautiful living ?!tat mere
words seem entirely inadequate to express
our appreciation.
Her very early youth was spent in
Wheeling, West Virginia, but for five
generations her family have been identified
with the history of Baltimore, and
for torty years she has been connected
with the Franklin Street Presbyterian
church, each year growing more and
more indispensable to that organization.
There was no work undertaken there
that was not the better for her counsel,
Although pressed with many cares, sne
was never too busy to work for her
church, and freely poured out to it her
heart's best love.
Some years ago an old servant said
of her, "Miss Esther is good down to the
bone," and this homely word just expressed
it. It was not what she said
or what she did, but simply what she
was.
She was the last member of her immediate
family, but at her funeral was
manifested the highest exemplification of
the familv life of the church. when
I>le of all ranks and ages gathered to do
her honor. For Ave months she was an
invalid and deprived of doing the worn
she so dearly loved, but preaching (.> as
from her room even more eloquently than
she had done in her active life, for like
Ephraim of old, God "made her fruitf u
in the Jand of her affliction."
We cannot think of bir as idle in that
heavenly land. Sureiy sne finds there a
wider scope to manifest her pure unselfishness
and her unflinching truthfulness,
"Ah, Victor, whose triumphs were nobly
won,
There was no delay in thy prompt "Well
done'." J.

HON. JOHN W. CHURCHMAN.
At a meeting of the board of deacons of
Tinkling Spring Church held on March
28, 1909, the following resolutions were
adopted as a memorial of respect to our
fellow member, Hon. John W. Churchman.
Resolved, That while called to mourn
his loss, we bow in humble admission
to the supreme will, and desire to express
the overwhelming sorrow occasioned by
his death which occurred on February 24,
1909, at his home near Rrookwood, Va,
in his fifty-third year.
Having been born and reared in this
community, he early in life became a
member of Tinkling Springs Church, and
on May 2, lSSti, was elected a member
of the board of deacons, occupying the
official position of treasurer and chairman,
holding the latter at the time of his
death.
Mr. Churchman's distinguishing^ .characteristics
were integrity, intellectual
vigor, strict and conscientious performance
of duty, strong in his convictions,
deliberately and carefully formed, full of
courage, yet gentle in spirit and feeling,
and possessed of a high sense of honor.
ITH. April 21, 1909.
Fy reason of his sound judgment wide
and varied experience, his advice and
council were often sought by his associates,
and he justly deserved the confidence
and respect they so generously
accorded him.
As a neighbor and friend, no man was
his superior, and his loyalty to his church
and to those he esteemed was unbounded
and unquestioned.
With profound sorrow at his untimely
death, we mourn the irreparable loss the
church, his family and friends have
sustained.
Resolved as a token of respect that
these resolutions be spread upon our
records, published in the "Presbyterian
of the South" and a copy sent to the
bereaved familv.

MRS. SALLIE CLAIBORNE LEWIS.
In Memoriam.
On March 1, 1909, this elect lady, widow
of the late Jno. O. Lewis, "fell on
sleep, and' was not, for God took her.'
Mrs. Lewis was born in the city ot
Richmond, August 30, 1S35. Her parents
were Charles and Cora Burlesdale Hunt.
She was a great grand-daughter of Rev.
Clement Read, a gifted minister of the
Presbyterian church.
She was married in 1852 to Mr. Jno.
O. Lewis, a wealthy and influential citizen
of Albermarle county, and of this
union there were born nine children,
eight of whom survive her. They are as
follows: Mrs. R. C. Mcintosh, Quitman,

Mrs. S. S. Rountree, Quitman, Ga., Mrs.
Jno. O. Lewis, Quitman, Ga., Mrs. R. W.
Carter, Fredericksburg, Va., Miss Clara
K. Lewis, who died on January, 19, 1903,
Mrs. Virginia Bowles, Scottsville, Va.,
and Mr. C. B. Lewis, Davis, W. Va.
The passing away of this noble Christian
woman deserves more than a casual
notice. She was a typical old Virginia
matron of the noblest type, that is now
very rare, and illustrated in her life the
noblest traditions of that part which Virginians
love to dwell upon. She grew
ud in a home of culture anrt ruflncmont
and married when quite young- a man
of wealth and influence, of whose home
she was the chief ornament, and she
was the dispenser of the most charming
and gracious old Virginia hospitality.
After the war, in common with so
many of the most prominent families
of the state, tney suffered the loss of
their property, and had to face the problems
of living and raising their
sons and daughters under vastly changed
conditions. But this reverse of fortune
simply served to bring out the true gold
of her character. She, with her husband,
bravely met the changed condition
of affairs, and together they successfully
solved the problem until his death. after
which sad event, sne was led to face the
responsibility alone, but fully measured
up to it.
She was Indeed a royal woman with
the mien and dignity of a queen, and
might truly be called a grand woman.
She was possessed of a firm, strong cnfitacter,
and one coming into her nresence
instinctively felt this. In her ^outh she
was a beautiful woman, an?'i,gven |n her
