MISS MARGARET E. NETOS.
In loving remembrance of our darling
daughter *Margaret, who fell asleep
in Jesus, peacefully, one year ago,
March 23. 1912, aged seventeen years.
The vacant chair and many other
things so sadly remind us of our darling.
But sotae future day God will
show us why he took our darling so
early in life. Then we shall understand
and know that he doeth all things
well and for our good. Well has the
poet in the following lines expressed
our belief and feeling:
I know thou hast gone to the home of
thy rest,
Then why should my soul he so sad?
I know thou hast gone where the
weary are hlest,
And the mourner looks up and is
clad?
Where love has put off in the land ot
it9 birth
The stains it has gathered in this;
And hope, the sweet singer that gladdened
the earth,
Lies asleep on the bosom of bliss.
"I know thou hast gone where thy
forehead is starr'd
With the beauty that dwelt in thy
soul;
Where the light of thy loveliness cannot
be Tnarr'd,
Nor the heart be flung 'back from its
goal.
I know thou hast drunk of the Lethe
that flows
Through a land where they do not
forget,'
That shedB over memory only repose.
And takes from It only regret."
?Mother and Father.
MRS. W. 8. FONTAINE.
This good woman entered Into rest
at Clifton Forge February 10, 1913, at
the age of 74 years.
Born In Tx>ulsa county, after her marriage
she resided at Columbia. When
nor htiRDann (lied sue made curton
Forpe her home.
A most devoted wife and affectionate
mother, she was totally absorbed In
the hiphest welfare of her family, thlnkInp
ever of them, and without a thought
for herself. She was fond of reading
THE rKIBBlllfti
0
and always kept hereelr informed as
to current aftolrs. But the most remarkable
thing about her was her religion?so
quiet and unobtrusive and
yet so truly consecrated to all that was
good. This was manifest in the beauty
of her modest life as well as in the
sweetness and strength oif her lovely
character.
Her love and loyalty to the Presbyterian
Church was notable. Always
present at God's house, unless providentially
detained, never losing her interest,
she gave that church her heart's
love and her life's service.
In all the sorrows of life she was
sustained by God's grace and with that,
bore them with perfect submission.
She passed through her last long illness
with the same noble spirit, and
calmly awaiting the end, committed her
soul to the hands of her Saviour; and
one day when the sunlight flooded the
room her tired spirit passed to the
presence of him who is the light of life.

MKS. SUE D. EGGLESTON.
On February S, 1913, at Charlotte
Courthouse, Va., 'Mrs. Sue D. Eggleston
fell asleep in Jesus. She had been for
many years a confirmed invalid. While
she suffered great bodily weakness, yet
her example of courage and strength
of will were such as have seldom
indeed been equaled. For years she
fought with disease and lived face to
face with death; but never did she surrender
to despondency. Not only did
she make a brave fight for life which
was near heroic, but she was also as
brave for God and as faithful in the
work of his kingdom. Not until her
bodily strength had failed caiipletely
and she was incapacitated bodily did
she abandon her place in the house of
God or in the society work of the
church. "Her continual presence at all
i iiuivu on i itca, uiuiuiug ana evening,
week days as well as Sundays, at the
price of much effort as she had to make,
were an inspiration to all worshippers',
and a lasting refbuke to ail who stayed
away.
The dominating trait of her being
was faith. She seemed always to live
in the sunshine of God's presence, and
her face reflected the glory of his love.
The being of God was very real to her.
She often spoke, in conversation, of
her hope and confidence in God, as
naturally as she spoke of her Intimate
friends. She never murmured. She
seldom complained: but accepted with
epum grace tne bitter and the sweets
of life. Here was indeed one of the
choice spirits of earth. Her life was
an inspiration to all who came into
her association. Even those who were
permitted to .enjoy the blessings of
health received from her bright, happy
nature a new thrill and a brighter hope
than tbey had known.
Mrs. Eggleston was decidedly of the
orthodox faith of Pretfbyteriarism. She
was never drawn aside for a moment
by any of the isms so common in her
day. God's will was her law and his
love her delight. A short timte before
the end came she said. "I have asked
mv Father to take me home." And he
heard her player. Her spirit has gone
to be with <?od. The light of her life
stll' shines \rpon earth.
Mrs. Eggleston was the daughter of
the late fi. P. Daniel and Mrs. M. E.

at the time of Ms death, three years

When Andrew McLaughlin was six
years of age he moved with his parents
to Marlin's Bottom, now Marllnton, W.
Va., where he continued to reside till
1S91, when he moved to hiB Ollfton
home in Greenbrier. In Tila alicteenth
year the Civil War broke out, a year or
two later he volunteered, serving until
its close in Company I, 19th Virginia
Cavalry. He was with his company in
every battle in which it was engaged
except one. Most of this time he was
orderly sergeant. At twenty years of
age he came out of the war with the
rank of first lieutenant. H1b comrades
tell us he was a cool-headed and brave
soldier. He served a term as Commander
of Camp Creigh, Lewiriburg, W.
Va., and some months ago Gen. Bennett
H. Young, commanding General
of the United Confederate Veterans,
gave him the commission of Colonel
as Assistant Adjutant-General on his
staff. Both armies had camped on his
fnthpr'o form on/1 wV? fr V*? fl 1
was over he returned and found nothing
left but the land, house and barn.
On the 14th of May, 1887, he was united
in marria|ge with iMiss Mary fffrice,
youngest sister of the Rev. Wm. T.
Price, D. D. She, with their six children,
live to -mourn his loss. Their
children are the Rev. Henry W. McLaughlin,
Raphine, Va., Mrs. Julian D.
Arbuckie, Marwelton, W. Va., Lee P.
and Edgar H., of Academy, "W. Va., Mrs.
Houston H. Arbuckie, Maxwelton, and
Mrs. James B. Massey, Mossy Creek,
Va. All of his children, with his sonin-law
and daughters-in-law, were
present at the funeral except Mrs. Massey,
who was detained by sickness.
Andrew McLaughlin was a man of
iuuic k.icvu uiuuiiiiy auimy, strong or
body and mind, clear in his Judgments
and successful in his occupation as
farmer and stock raiser. He united
with the church of his father in early
manhood and soon after became a deacon.
He was the first Sunday school
superintendent at Marlinton. About
thirty-four years ago, when the Marlinton
church was organized, he was made
elder, which office he continued to hold,
serving almost continuously in the "Marllnton.
Lawltfburg and Clifton churches.
The following estimate of Col. McLaughlin's
life and character as a disciple
of the Master is furnished by one
who hnd long known him well and intimately.
Andrew Mclaughlin was a devoted
husband and father, strong and noble,
lofty in his ideals. As a Christian he
was loyal to his Saviour at all times,
and in all the different relations of life
exemplifying the religion which he
loved and profeseed. As an elder in
ms cnurcn he was ralthful and diligent
In the performance of his duties. He
loved 'his church, he loved to meet Ws
God there and commune with him. He
delighted in her services. As long as
his health permitted he was alwavs
present at the services and Joined heartilv
In the worship. He was constantly
active In the church's work. Many a
time he has left pressing business Interests
in order that he mleht co and
kneel at. the bedside of the sick and
d-vinpr or to plead -with some wandering
soul to accept his Saviour. His life
nhonnded 1n acts of generosity. A loyal
soldier of the cross has gone to he
with his King.

how deeply they felt his loss.

REV. JOHN T'.OOKElt MORTON, D. P.
Tills '"beloved brother passed from
earth to his heavenly rest February 6,
1912, in Seattle, Washington, at the
tiome of his son, Rev. Ernest S. Morton,
of Ranier Beach Presbyterian church.
Upon learning that Rev. John B. Morton
Is no longer among men?that hia
cordial greeting will never again on
earth evoke the welcoming smile?
inanv a nearr will ne saaaenea, lor or
friends he had a host and his friends
remained friends. The. congregations
that he served in the Lord "will feel
that a Prince in Israel is fallen?a
true man and royal minister has gone.
Dr. Morton was of deep piety and
thorough consecration and always the
perfect gentleman. In any circle his
approach was so unaffected, his manner
so easy, fits smile so genuine and
withal so sweet, that his companionship
was a delight to his friends. Genial,
guileless, sunny-hearted and sincere,
the atmosphere which he created
was so purified hy his presence that injustice
or falseness, or harshness even,
was restrained. Yet, on the floor of
ine L,nurcii volins ne couia acDaie a

and the fearlessness of full persuasion
"which was uncompromising.
His words had the ring of martial
righteousness, though If he failed In
convincing others there was no suggestion
of helng vexed over defeat. Ever
original, ever affable, always courteous
and unselfish, his was a rare nature
In Its social gifts and graces.
As a preacher, Dr. Morton never
failed to bring beaten oil Into the sanctuary;
his tastes and culture made this
Inevitable. His manner In the pulpit
was reverent and earnest, his matter
was clothed In choicest words and most
fitly spoken with persuasive voice. As
he plead with his Heavenly Father In
terms beautifully filial one felt that his
faith was prlnnlnc thf? Atarnnl nrrvm
Ises. The people to 'whom he ministered
and by whom he was so loved,
always felt that whenever their pastor
arose to speak he not only had something
to say but also -that he knew
how to sav It. No wonder then that
from churches that he had served came
messages of sjunpathy and love, when
the sad news was flashed across the
continent that they (would hear his
voice no more.
Some few years since, as the result
of nervous strain with complications,
he. who had 'been to others a true son
of consolation, passed undor a cloud
through which at tlm*s but dimly shone
his star of hope. But as the mountains
of the Lord came Into nearer view, we
may be well assured that these valley
mists were dissolved: and as he crossed
over Into Beulah land -comfort and
