Obituary.
Died at Broxton on July 13th,
after an illness of six weeks, Aliss
W arren Estelle Nash, daughter of
Mrs. M. A. Martin, aged eleven
years, five months and twenty-four
days.
She was a kind, loving, Christian
girl, faithful in the attendance of
church and Sabbath school; too
young, it would seem to die, but
the Master called her from her bed
of suffering to join the Church
Triumphant, where it is one eternal
Sabbath. As she sank rapidly,
and neared the brink, she faced it
calmly, her last words being,
“Home, Sweet Home.” Weep
not. sad hearts, only a few more
years at most, ’till we will join
her in that “Home, Sweet Home,”
to which she has preceded us.
