MRS. IMOGEN REID BIRD.
On the twenty-ninth day of March,
Mrs. Imogen Reid Bird, widow of the
late W. Edgeworth Bird, of Baltitaore,
died at the residence of her son Rev.
Andrew R. Bird in Washington City.
She was born in Baltimore and was the
eldest daughter of the late Andrew Reid
and of Mrs. Fannie Brooke Gwathmey
Reid, who survives her, and spent all
her life in that city where she had a
wide circle of devoted friends and relatives
who grieve that she has gone. She
gave her heart to her Saviour while yet
a child and united with the Presbyterian
Church: and when she was married in
1877 she went with her husband to
Franklin Street church, where for many
yea^8 they together rendered a loyal
and faithful service. I love to look back
upon the life of this young couple, both
of them richly endowed with the gracious
gifts that made them beloved and
admired in the society of a great city,
yet who early came to realize their
highest ideals in their family and their
church?a choice which bore fruit in
a beautiful home life and in the loveliest
type of Christian character, an Inspiration
to all who knew them. For
several years she had been in failing
ViaqHVi q r? H a PAnfltn n t onfforor tonHorlv
watched over by a devoted husband and
loving children, and at the time of her
husband's death her family and friends
feared that the frail cord which held
her to life would surely snap; but her
love for her children and the desire to
hold up their stricken lives brought the
needed strength, and for more than two
years she lived for them?years of pain
and sorrow, but full of a sweet and
gentle courage and a patient faith which
shed a fragrance over all around her.
Fearless and outspoken for the right,
she was as true as steel, yet withal as
gentle as a child. No trial was ever
too great for her simple faith, and death
for her was but the opening of the door
into the larger and richer life to be for
ever with the Lord and with her loved
ones gone before.
She leaves four children surviving
her. Rev. Andrew R. Bird, pastor of the
Second Presbyterian church of Washington,
D. C. Messrs. Brooke G. Bird
and Fielding Lu Bird, and Miss Sallie
Bird, all of Baltimore, and one grandchild,
Andrew Reid Bird, Jr. She also
leaves two brothers. Dr. Harrv Fielding
Reid of Jofins Hopkins University, and
Mr. Andrew M. Reid, and a sister, Mrs.
Ellen Reid Van Dyke, of Princeton, N. J.
Baltimore. T. B. G.
THE PRESBYTERIi
JOHN T. BYRD.
The Session of the Williamsburg Presbyterian
church, keenly feeling the loss
of the late ruling elder, Jno. T. Byrd,
hereby adopts and offers for publication
the following memorial:
Major Byrd was born May 22, 1828.
He was a man of great energy and broad
public spirit. When the war began he
promptly cast in his lot with the fortunes
of his native state and served as
a gallant and able officer till the very
close of the war.
During the last year of strife, under
the influence of the regimental chaplain,
he united with the church on profession
of faith; but, on his death-bed, he declared
to his pastor that this was but a
vain human effort after salvation. In
the year 1866 his devoted Christian wife
led him to know Christ Jesus as his
Saviour from sin and hiB experience of
the new birth was too emphatic and
clear to ever be forgotten.
For many years he served the church
as a ruling elder and -proved himself
diligent in every duty at home as well
as faithful in the work of the higher
courts. He had a burning desire to
oreach the Gospel.
L<exington Presbytery, while declining
to give him license as a probationer,
permitted him to use his gifts wherever
he could; a privilege which he often
used, not only within the bounds of this
great court, but rn other Presbyteries
and even in other Synods. Nothing rejoiced
him more than to see souls won
to Christ. Among his numerous lines of
activity his greatest strength was in
personal work.
Neither friend nor stranger escaped
his efforts. The humblest negro in the
county and the President of the United
States were asked, "Have you been
born again?*" In his effort at soul winning,
he used no great weight of human
scholarship, but rather a broad knowledge
of the Bible, a rich personal experience,
a zeal unexcelled, and a great
soundness of faith. He is universally
pronounced a remarkable man in three
ways?as a citizen, as a soldier and as
a man of God.
By order of the Session.
Robert McOintic, Clerk;
V. H. Starbuck, Moderator.
MRS. JENNIE H. DANIEL.
uiea April iu, airs. Jennie H. Daniel,
wife of E. F. Daniel, at their home,
"Arcadia," near Charlotte Court House,
Va.
Mrs. Daniel was the daughter of Mr.
Geo. C. Hannah and A. E. Hannah, of
Charlotte County, was born August 3,
1854; was married October 18, 1876.
Her husband and eight children survive
her: E. F. Daniel, Jr., of Baltimore;
Mrs. Annie Sloan, of Charlotte, N. C.;
Mary B. Daniel, Lucy H. Daniel, Geo. H.
Daniel, Edward J. Daniel, John H. Daniel
and Elizabeth Daniel. Four children
are dead, Sam'l P. and Margaret,
and two dying in infancy.
She was buried April 12 in the old
village cemetery, the services being conducted
by the pastor, Rev. R. L. McNair,
assisted by Rev. Geo. H. Adkerson, of
Albemarle, N. C. It was the privilege
of the writer to have been intimately
acquainted with Mrs. Daniel from her
girlhood. Her early training, in a sweet
Christian home, where God was honored
.and the family altar was considered a
sweet and sacred thing, brought the result
in her early conversion and connection
with the church and developed
her life into one of those sweet unselffish
Christian characters, which
adorned her home and was ever a blessing
and benediction to the community in
which she lived. Her music was her
charm, her voice, a natural gift, was
jweetly trained to suggest with heavenlv
ranture the love and praise of Him who
redeemed her. and was loner used for
the glorv of God and the uplift of those
whose privilege it was to hear her.
To-day she si"ngs In the choir above.
As she lived, so she died, patiently, unselfish,
submissive, trusting, looking to
.Tesus, and calm in the face of death.
After committing her kind husband and
loving children to the care and love of
her Heavenly Father she passed ouletlv
and neacefullv into the haven of rest,
Q O f A KO vnn r\ tViA oAAem
May the God of all srraee. comfort and
keep those who mourn her loss, and
some sweet day, nnlte them all In an unbroken
family circle in the better home.
A Friend.
Tf you will give some earnest thought
to trying to understand the troubles of
others, you will have less reason to
complain that others do not understand
yours.
