Mrs. Zim Trulock Dead.
One of the saddest events
that has made its way through
our town for months was the
death of Mrs. Zim Truluck,
which took place at two o’clock
Friday morning last, She had
been <ick for about ten days and
we understand that she had a
complication of troubles that
caused her death. She was
buried in Whigham cemetery
Friday afternoon, services con
ducted by Rev. Mr. Stinson, of
Climax.
Mrs. Trulock had resided in
our town with her husband for
about twenty-five years and dur
ing that time had endeared her
self to many to whom the an
nouncement of her death car
ried a pang of sorrow.
The deceased has been a con
sistent member of the Presbvte
rian church, a loving and affec
tionate wife and a kind and ten
der mother. What more could
be said of anyone? She leaves
a devoted husband, four sons
and a daughter to mourn her
departure from us. Her chil
dren are all of age. They all
know what a good mother they
had. There was no request
that they could make that their
dear mother would not grant if
it was in her power to do so.
She has left her life before them
to ever guard them in the ways
of right as they battle through
life.
How well should they remem
ber mother’s advice and prayer
for them from their cradle to
ler grave! Many times have we
heard since her death, “A good
mother is gone.” Yes, she has
passed from us and no friend
can ever take the place of moth
er.
The whole community togeth
er with the Messenger extends
heart-felt sympathy to the be
reaved ones in their loss.
The hardest thing for husband in this life
Is to part with adear and loving wife.
But the saddest thing for sb> »■ brother
Is to say good-bye to a »^*ar old mother.

Rev. Mr. Stinson, pastor
