we feel In the removal from us of our
untiring and beloved secretary. Her chair
was vacant at our meeting last Tuesday,
but her name was upon our lips and her
memory as ointment poured forth. We
miss her but she is lovingly remembered
by what she has done. To her sorrowing
husband, mother, sister and brother we
extend heartfelt sympathy. The crown
is hers; the unfinished work is ours."
MRS. M. J. MINOR.
Alter weary weeks of patient suffering,
Mrs. M. J. Minor, of Rrirtc-Awntor
Va., passed peacefully and painlessly to
the saints' reward, August 24, 1909.
For forty-nine years, she was the faithful
and gentle wife of Dr. John Gilmer
Minor, and bore with him in patient devotion,
the ill fortunes of the Civil War,
with all of its subsequent sufferings.
Mrs. Minor was Martha Jane Crawford,
and was born January 17, 1840, near
Fort Defiance, on the historic LexingtonHarper's
Ferry turnpike, made famous by
her. family in deeds indelible, not only
during the war for civil liberty, but in
the wars with Indians before Mary Moore,
of Abb's Valley, dreamed of disaster. She
was of a sturdy, sterling race, whose
character was moulded and made for
the centuries in battles for personal
ngnts and righteousness. So she modestly,
but loyally treasured the traditions
of her ancestry and their ideals for herself
and for her children.
She was born of Presbyterian parentage,
and the fruit of that faith formed
the fibre of her religious character at an
early date, and on it was based a precious
experience, whch held her hopes of
heaven unswerving, until the gates of the
city clerical opened for faith's reward.
Up to the time of her marriage in 1860,
her church privileges were fostered at
the old stone church * under such pastors
as the distinguished Dr Wm. Brown.
Alter her marriage, she became a member
of Mossy Creek Church, another of
the historic churches of the Valley of
Vrginia; later, when an organization was
formed at Bridgewater, she became a
charter member with her husband, and
to it, she gave such a wealth of love and
good works, that there is not a page of
its history that is not marked by her activities
and influence. This church with
its ever developing interests,-lay close to
her lovinsr heart with snmethincr nt tho
clearness that Zlon did to David; there
were never claims sq close nor so commanding
as to crowd into a corner, anything
that promoted the upbuilding of
that church. It always held a central
place in her devotion and endearments.
She was not only always sage in its councils,
but steadfast and sweet in its service.
Often has she guided its peace
over rugged difficulties with out loss, by
her patient conservatism, together with

words and deeds of prudence. She leaned
naturally and by grace, to the tender, the
gentle, the kind, the considerate, and the
oil of her temper was always the olive.
The community to which she gave the
maturity and the maternity of her sweet
life, is made poor as heaven is made
rich by her home going.
Her home life was of unmarred beauty
and its results for righteousness upon
her family are imperishable.
Besides her husband she leaves three
children: H. C. Minor and Mrs. J. H.
Clark, of Greenville, Va., and Miss Annie
Minor, of Bridgewater, to these and a
wide range of other dear ones, she leaves
the sweetest heritage of grace triumphant.
