OBITUARY
Mrs. Nepple Blount, wife of Mr. John
. Blount, died at her home Dec. 24th,
1008. She had been in declining health
for several months previous to her
death, yet the end came suddenly and
unexpected. Mrs. Blount was a wo
man of lovely traits of character. She
cheerful and sympathetic, her
heart was ever tender and kind. She
was such n good mother. The children
clung to her, and her influence was per
sistent over them as they were taken
into her heart and confidence.' She was
a good wife. As a neighbor she let her
light shine, kindness and sympathy
ruled in her, and many a friend she
made who will miss her cheerful visits
and words of encouragement Perhaps
her greatest influence was in the sphere
of mother. The happiness and success
of her children was her chief joy : truly
they can rise up and call her blessed
But she is gone. A sweet spirit has left
us, those hands so fond of helping are
peacefully folded. The devoted hus
band listens in vain for the approach of
the familiar footstep, and longs for the
sound of that voice that is hushed. The
dear children feel that they can. not
? ;ive mother up. They wall and listen
or words of counsel and love, but wait
in vain. None can ever fill the vacan
cy in their aching hearts, for her beau
tiful spirit has returned to the Father,
and she rests from her labors until the
resurrection morning. God, the loving
Father, doeth all things well.
