MRS. RACHEL BRIGHT LIVESAY.
Was born April 28th, 1817, and died
May 16th, 1911. She was born and raised
at Frankford, W. Va., and. was one
of the first members of the Presbyterian
church, having joined under the

^urovuiug ui HCT. .tii. muciiueiiuj') liie
pioneer Presbyterian preacher. She
married Mr. Joseph Livesay and was
the mother of eight children, seven
of whom survive her. During the last
few years she was a great sufferer but
bore It without murmuring and with
beautiful Christian fortitude, which is
one of the best marks of strong faith.
Dove for God's Word was a special
feature of her character and when too
feeble to attend church and too blind
to read, was never happier than when
hearing the Scriptures read. Her simple
trust and devotion to her Savior
was an example to all. Thus, after a
long and useful life, having been
faithful to her God, a loving wife and
mother and kind friend, she passed
peacefully to her reward. Her memory
will be long cherished by a host of
friends. Pastor.
AGNES ANN PENICK GHOLSON.
Agnes Ann Penick, aged one yeai
and nineteen days, only child of Dr.
Norman G. and Eliza Penick Gholson,
died at the home of her grandfather,
Rev. D. A. Penick, D. D., Lexington,
Va., June 26th, 1911.
Agnes Ann was a remarkably bright
attractive child, and was beautiful in
form and feature. The stamp of the
unusual was upon her to such a degree
that those about her dwelt lovingly
upon her future, and had many
rona nopes concerning her mission in
life.
But God's ways are not our ways,
and doubtless this little life had in it
a most efficient ministry. Surely we
have come to a clearer knowledge of
our Father's heart through our love
for this precious little one. After
awakening our warmest affection, and
calling out the best that is in us, she
has been taken back to the bosom of
the Father, carrying our hearts with
her.
RESOLUTIONS
On the Death of Elder Robert D. Kemp.
Since in the providence of Almighty
God death has entered the homo of
our Sister, Mrs. Kate Kemp, and deprived
her of her devoted helpmeet
and companion for so many years;
and since also the Church, of which
we are a court, has lost a valuable
member In the death of Elder Robert
Kemp; Be it resolved
I. That we bow uncomplainingly to
the supreme will of our Heavenly Father
who never makes mistakes, and
say "rower Thy will and not oura
be done "
II. That In our brother Kemp we
found a man of unimpeachable character,
kind, gentle, patient, just, ready
In health and willing In sickness
THE PRESBYTERI
(though unable to do what he wished)
to be of service in the Master's vineyard.
We have found him full of brotherly
love, anxious to see men and women
brought to Christ. He was strong
in faith as well as in his convictions
of right and wrong. True to his
promises always his fellowmen had
learned to trust him implicitly. A good
neighbor, a good friend, a good brother,
a good Christian, and last but
not least a good and faithful husband
has left the world, only to be made
perfect in the full enjoyment of all
the blessings of heaven.
III. We extend to his bereaved wife,
and the other members of the family
our sincere sympathy, with the assurance
that we have humbly remembered
them in prayer at a throne of
Grace; that we wish for them a double
portion of God's Spirit to enable
iat*in iu uear up unaer tne sorrow
with Christian fortitude.
IV. That these resolutions he placed
upon the session book of the
Church for permanent preservation.
V. That a copy of these resolutions
be sent to the widow of the deceased.
By order of the Session of the Third
Presbyterian Church, Richmond, Va.,
July 2nd, 1911.

MRS. KATHERINE EVERSOLE
FORRER ROLSTON.
On July 25th, 1910, just one year
ago, death entered a once happy home
claiming a loving, happy wife and
mother, Katherine Eversole Forrer,
wife of D. Hinton Rolston. She left a
husband and six children, one a babe
two weeks old, husband, father, mother,
two brothers, a sister and a cousin
who had always lived in the home as a
sister. There was none more tenderly
loved. Being the oldest of the family
of four children, sister was the first
to be consulted in every thing to be
considered.
Her life helped us everywhere,
She made the clouds seem lighter,
The sunset brighter,
Now we love heaven for she is there.
It was beautiful to see her in her
home with the dear little ones. She
was young, only thirty-six. She sang
and read, the children gathered flowers
and pinned them on her. Our former
pastor, one we loved and was
in and out among us so long, wrote of
her: "We were truly shocked at dear
Eva's sudden death. She was a great
favorite of ours. I never married a
sweeter girl to any man than when 1
married Eva to Hinton. She made a
faithful wife and mother and there is
none I hold in higher esteeran"
This is a tribute of another dear
one, she loved so much and helped in
a foreign field.
"How blessed to know without a
shadow of doubt that the precious life
so beautifully lived here is now unfolding
In the fellowship of the dear
Lord to whom she had from her infatlftv
pivon hor o a Tn oil
thoughts of her from the time we were
little girls together in all my memory
of her there has never been a
thing in her character that was not
sweet and pure and true. As a friend,
daughter, wife and mother she has
been loving, true and faithful?what a
blessed memory of her for us to cherish,
a comfort to keep before the little
children the memory of her beautiful
life, and what a hope to us all that at
most it cannot be very long before
we meet again where there is no
more sorrow or parting."
We miss her so sadly each day but
feel sure she is now enjoying "the
blessed rest that remains for the people
of God." She saw the bright side
of life, was of a loving, cheerful disposition,
thus leaving the quiet,
sweet peace of a happy mind with
those she met, and in many, many
ways helping those In need. "M."

REV. WILLIAM ALEXANDER GREGG.
By a Member of His Cliurch.
On tne evening of July 11th, 1911,
the beloved pastor emeritus of the
Presbyterian church here, crossed the
bar to meet his Pilot face to face;
the moaning of those dark waves did
not disturb him nor the chilling presence
of death discomfort him. Had
he not walked for more than half a
century as a man of God?a gentle but
s.alwart soldier of the cross? And
no one relied more upon the faithfulness
of those lines in that Book of all
books to him, "Yea, though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of
death-, I will fear no evil for thou art
with me."

For months he had been confined to
the house enfeebled by hiB age and an
ailment he had been suffering with for
yeaiB. The lines in his face grew
gentler, his voice more tender and his
eyes seemed filled with a light not
kindled by human impulses. His nnowy
beard and hair brought to memory
childhood impressions of patriarchal
beauty, and we felt as we entered his
room that we stood in the presence of
a saint, who dwelt not in this sordid
busy world of ours, but had his being
in the radiance and glow of that Beulah
land, waiting, yea longing, for the
launching of the shallop to meet his
Pilot.
Mr. Gregg was born in Marion county
in 1834, descended from a family
of distinguished Scotch-Irish people,
who settled in the earlv nart of the
seventeenth century in Pee Dee section,
who cast their fortunes and lives in
the scales of war and drew the sword
In the ranks of the Swamp Fox of the
Revolution. He attended the schools
of the country side in his native county
and then entered Oglethorpe University,
from which institution he graduated
in 1857. Impelled by a conviction
of his duty to labor for his Lord, he
entered the Theological Seminary at
Columbia, S. C., where he finished in
1860, and entered into the active work
of the ministry at Conway, Horry
county, South Carolina.
