the rich heritage of her life. Be

friends in and around McDonough.
The presence of such a life will
be missed, but the power ever re
mains, urging us who are left to
grasp and hold in our deepest
souls things eternal and divine.
Therefore, be it resolved :
First, That in the death of Mrs.
Zachry our Missionary Society
has lost an honored member, who
was loved and cherished by all.
Second, 'lhat we extend to the
family our deepest sympathy and
commend them to our Heavenly
Father’s care.
Third, That we send a copy of
these resolutions to the members
of her family, and that a page in
our Minutes be dedicated to her
memory.
