HENRY COUNTY WEEKLY, McDONOUGH, GEORGIA
In Memory
of Mrs. Bettie Laster, who met
her death at Poterdale, Ga., Oct.
2, 1919, age 61 years. She lived
her long and useful life in Henry
county until a few months ago.
She was a devoted Christian,
joined Sardis church when but 14
years of age. She was kind to
her neighbors, and a regular and
willing visitor to the sick and dis
tressed, thereby showing her at
tachment to th/i Master’s cause.
“Precious in the eyes of the
Lord is the death of His saints.”
She is with Jesus now, but her
examples, upright and godly as
they were, still live, and we are
confident that when the Lord
comes again to make up His jew
els she will be one of His pre
cious gems.
Our precious one from us has gone,
To dwell beyond the sky,
Wht re endless years are passing on,
Where pleasures never die.
No more sorrow shall she ever know,
Within that home so fair,
Arrayed in robes as white as snow,
Safe in the Master’s care.
Our hearts are ever sad and lone,
We miss her so;
But when the shadows have flown,
To meet her we will go.
We fain would have her with us here,
But Jesus knoweth best,
And there’s a thought that brings us
cheer,
Our precious one’s at rest.
She’s singing with the angels fair,
In that bright heavenly land,
And waiting for our coming there.
With gentle beckoning hand.
I). B. C.
