In Loving Memory Os Mrs. H. C. Dorsey
By MRS. H. D. LANCASTER,
Nurse
Mrs. Dorsey had been in failing
health for many years. Few are
called upon to suffer as much as
she did through the years. In
recent months her pain became
more acute, and her strength
began to ebb. However the sud
den turn for the worse was not
anticipated, and so her passing
came as a great shock to her
wide circle of friends and loved
ones.
Mrs. Dorsey was a highly in
telligent person. She had poise
and dignity and a charming
grace that was all her own.
One of the most admirable
traits was her patience in her
suffering. She never complained.
Few people knew the extent of
her pain, for no matter how sick
she was she would get up out of
bed and dress to go out and
greet those who called. Always
being the gracious hostess that
she was, so that none ever knew
the extent of her affliction, for
she never mentioned it.
Mrs. Dorsey made a good and
faithful companion to her hus
band, he, who was so successful
in business. It is said that “back
of every successful man there is
a great and good woman.” So
never was there a wife who
played the part more nobly. She
was his “right arm” so to speak,
therefore to her goes much of the
credit for the heights to which
he attained. Hers was that un-

The guest at the home of

Last week-end the Agnews took

image upon the atmosphere still
lingers, felt and seen by all.
It was the writer’s privilege to
be her constant nurse and com
panion for many months. Her
attitude toward me was always
so kind and gracious. It was a
pleasure to minister to her needs
and to try to massage away the
pain in her aching limbs.
She loved for the daily Bible
lessons from the “Upper Room”
and other religious matter to be
read to her. She loved to hear
our testimony of the goodness
of God, and she in turn told of
her own experiences and of her
prayer life. She knew that God
“makes our bed” in our sickness
and that He goes with His re
deemed even through the valley
of the shadow of death.
In conclusion let the writer
speak for all concerned that it
was hard to give her up, but we
do not “sorrow as one who has
no hope”. We look forward to
meeting her in a brighter world
above, where there is no pain
and sickness—no parting from
loved ones but rather one grand
reunion that lasts throughout
eternity.
