Resolutions on the Death Of Mrs. Ghas. T. Zachry. Mrs. Chas. T. Zachry died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. S. W. Farrar, after a lingering illness on November 20. She was born in Henry county, and would have been seventy-nine years of age in March had she lived till then. She was the relic of Col. Charles. T. Zachry, a distinguished officer in the war betwean the States, and to them were born four daught ers, three of whom survive to mourn her loss, and also to reap the rich heritage of her life. Be sides these a host of relatives and 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. Mrs. Julia McDonald, Mrs. E. J. Reagan, Mrs. W. R.
