See or write W.M. Whit more, Jasper, Ga. In Memory On February 24th, 1926, there passed away to a fairer world than this a beautiful spirit, Rachel Fae, wife of Grady Jones and only daughter of Mr, and Mrs. Cicero Compton. ' Born in Gate City, Va., April 14, 1908, she moved to Cartersville, Ga., in early life, where she unit ed with the Cartersville Eastside Baptist church at age of twelve years, of which church she re mained a member uutil her death. Later the family moved to Jasper, where on January 3lst, 1925, she was married to Mr. Grady Jones, city policeman at Nelsofl, where they happily resided. She was visiting her parents in Jasper when she was taken with a severe pain in her side, caused by a ruptured blood-vessel, and only lived a few hours. All that loving hands and a skilled physi cian could do was in vain. A kind father, devoted mother and noble brother were at her bedside doing all they could, but, ‘‘Alas! God had spoken and she had heard,” She realized she was dy ing and told them so. Tearful faces looked on with clinging love and thus, as calmly as a child on its mother’s bosom she ‘‘laid her head on Jesus’ breast and breath ed her life out sweetly there.” It is sweet to remember her girl ish mirth as a fountain sending forth its sparkling spray kissed by the sunbeams of her smiles, but withal she was firm and wo manly when occasion required for one so young, so full of contagions enthusiasm. She loved to love people and she loved to be loved. Think of a few hours suffering cutting her down at sixteen years, eleven months and a few days ol age, in the morning flush and dawn of happy girlhood and flourishing young womanhood,yet to know there is a sustaining hope in Christ to sweeten the bitter hour and brighten the dreary, darksome way. As we think in sadness of the hopes, the life, the love all so joy ous and resplendent that lie buried with her. A wealth of tender memories and still sweeter hopes —the preciousness of God’s prom ise, “I will not leave thee comfort less”—come to minister to us, Rachel dead? But as the stars go out; but as the sun dies; but as the flowers fade to rise and shine and bloom again with new and in finite brightness in the beautiful garden of God. ‘‘We know she is safe on the otner side where all the ransomed and angels be; over the river, tin peaceful river, ‘Sister’ is waiting to welcome me. Her cheerful smile, her loving disposition, her friendly ways, added to her personal beauty made her many friends, for to know het was to love her. The early closing of her radiant young life was like a flower fad ing and sinking down to rise and bloom again glorified and resplen dent in the Paradise of God. A Friend. “Not a burden lie doth not bear, Never a sorrow He doth not share, Moment by moment she is under His care,” “Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep, From which none ever wakes to weep,” “We loved her, yes, we loved her, But Jesus loved her best, For He has called her To yonder shore of rest.” Peaceful be your sleep, dear Ra chel, ’Tis sweet to breathe your name, In life we loved you dearly And in death we do the same.
