Success to All Who Pay Their Honest Debts—“Be Sure You Are Right, Then Go Ahead.”
BLAKELY, GEORGIA, THURSDAY EVENING, DEC, 17, 1925
! BELOVED MOTHER
I PASSES AWAY
Mrs. M. B. Haisten Succumbs
to Short Illness.
Mrs. Mollie B. Haisten, widow of
the late Thomas E. Haisten, died
at the home of her son, Mr. Ben B.
Haisten, in Blakely, at 7:45 Satur
day night, after an illness of some
ten days.
I Mrs. Haisten was in her 67th year.
She was for a long time a resident
of Bluffton, but when her older
children began to leave the home
roof to establish homes for them
selves, she came to Blakely with
her younger children, and has since
made her home here.
Mrs. Haisten was a member of
Colomokee Baptist church and fu
neral services were held at the
family apartments in Blakely at 1
o’clock Sunday afternoon, conducted
by Rev. J. G. Corley, her pastor,
assisted by Rev. J. S. Hartsfield, and
were concluded at the grave in
Cuthbert, where her body was taken
for interment in the family burial
plot beside her husband.
She is survived by five sons, U. S.
Haisten of Atlanta, J. M. and C. C.
Haisten of Panama City, Fla., B. B.
I Haisten of Blakely, and 0. 0. Hais-
I ten of Columbus, all of whom were
at her bedside during her last ill
i ness and death. Her husband and
j five other children preceded her to
the glory land. •
As these young men go back to
their several homes they carry > a
void feeling in their hearts that can
not be filled. Time may serve to
dull the edge of the pain, but never
until they can join mother in the
Great Beyond will their great sense
of loss disappear.
Only those who have similarly
suffered can truly sympathize with
them at the going away of the one
who loved them the most unselfishly
of anybody on earth.
Thrills, mystery and suspense are I

I admiration the community held for
I her.
I “Sleep on, dear mother, and take
I thy rest.
! We loved thee well, but God loved
thee best.”
