In Loving Remembrance of
Mrs. Priscilla & Godard
On October 21, 1921, God, In His In.
finite wisdom, saw lit to send "The
Death Angel” into the home of Air,
and Mrs. W. H. Humphries and take
unto Himself the sweet spirit of their
mother. Just thirteen days prior to
her daoth in the early morning of Sep
tember 30th she stumbled and fell in
the dining room of her home, severely
injuring her left hip and entire left
lower limb. There were no hopes of
her recovery in the beginning on ac
count of her age. Everything friends,
loved ones, and a kind physician could
do was done to alleviate her suffer
ing, and make her a.- comfortable as
possible while she lasted.
She realized her condition to some
extent, that it was serious, and asked
for an interest in the prayers cf a
dear brother and sister of her church,
who was visiting her bedside.
The end came without a struggle
Mrs. Godard was tiro youngest of
seven children and the last one to
pass away.
She united with the Primitive bap
tist Church at Camp Creek when
quite young, and ever clung to tne
faith that she first embraced. Sh
was always anxious and filled her
scat on church days, unless provi
dentially hindered.
It was her greatest pleasure to be
in company with the people of Cod
and take of His rich grace and liter
cy shown to poor sinners. For some
reason unknown to us she was de
prived of this great pleasure in her
last days by being almost deaf. It
is a aweet thought to the unworthy
writer to feel that jho has passed
over to the land where sorrows never
como and the weary are at rest. Her
sorrows in this life have been many.
When she was only thirteen years of
age she was bereft- of a mother. This
mother that probably she called dur
ing her dying hoars, when she re
peated the words, "Mama, mama.”
Just a few' more years and the
father was called, too. This left her
and her only sister alono in the
home. There were five brothers,
some having homos and families of
tliefr own, some had gone to another
Mato, on:- having It: t ills life during
the Civil War.'
This neve, sitated the breaking up
and leaving the home of her child
hood that sho loved «o Well.
Throughout her long life she so
often spoke of the orchard and many
a lov'd spot that bar infancy knew
at that home and was eitpocting to
visit lai .pit in i-u> near future,
when rUo was called to her last
home. Dy request of her father be
fore his death, Mr. Godavd sought
and found a good homo with a dear
relative, Mir. Eliza Finney, cf this
county. The d ;ar -si .; r found a good
home a r. ort distance away with
another relative, Mrs. Mai4in Tor-
sister to Mrs. Finney. This
relic.
was her homo until her marriage in
1870 to Joel Godavd of this county,
who lie preceded her to the grave
thirteen years, eight months.
She ' as the mother of seven chil
dren. four sons and three daughters,
si:, of whom : he has long since given
up. Her first-born, .lames Wiley
Godard, almost reached his twenty-
fust birthday. The youngest of all,
Adam Roger, wu3 nearly seven years
old. The other four, Martha Pris
cilla, Sarah Frances, Arthur and
Joel’ Th^tnat Godard, having died
more in Infancy. Throughout her
many sorrows she seemed to console
herself with the sweet thought that
if she suffered with Jesus she might
reigu with Him.
She was blessed with a devoted
companion nearly 37 years, and one
of the best of sisters. As she has
been more than a sister to her, has
filled a mother’s place as near as
one could. Helng eight years her
senior. Diver with her after she was
married, until her own marriage to
Denjamin Fordham in 1886. She was
a helpmate, especially in the sickness
and death of her dear children that
have goneon before. She was also
lied -,pon to part with i.iU cita. |
ster, Mrs. Gracie Fordham, more
than fifteen years ago.
After her marriage she had the ■
pleasure of living at the same hou.e j
intil her death. The daughter *1:31 j
urvives her, Airs. W. H. Humphries, !
and her family, lia3 lived with hoi |
luce i>ho was left a widow, unable '
t-> fill the place of her companion o- j
the dear sister having the care of a !
family of her own, but doing the |
best she could for her in hopes that
her last, days might be among l-.er
best.
Mrs. Godard was before her mar
riage Miss Priscilla Patience Pitt
man. She was born and reared in
Wilkinson county. She was seventy-
six years of age, having passed her
last birthday the day before she died.
She I leaves four grand-cliildren,
Misses Mattie d-orena, Emmie Ophe
lia. Mary Madeline and William God
ard Humphries. Besides a host of
relatives and friends who miss her
presence oh! so much, but we can’t
wish her back, having evidence to
believe sho is now basking in the
blessed presence of a Crucified an
risen Redeomer, around the Great
Wiiite Throne, thero joining “Tli r
Angel Band" in singing songs of
sweet deliverance. Believing that Hi
is too wise to err, too good to lie un
kind,, and that.our. Joes is her eterna-
gain.. We bow. in humble si limis
sion to. the. will of one who. doeth all
tilings well. A good woman has gone
to her reward, there to await.the res
urrection. ,
Her remains woro laid to' rest in

Beautiful Armenian, Five Years
Turkish Slave, Will Marry,
Now Face Is Cleared.
Into every large hospital there come i
nt times patients with heart-breaking !
stories locked tight within their bos
oms, and Just such was brought to the
University hospital in Ann Arbor,
Mich. A girl was wheeled into the sur
gical clinic who once had been rarely
beautiful. She was twenty, with the
dark, rich complexion nud the spark
ling eye of the healthy young Arme
nian, but her beauty was ruined by
tattoo marks at the corners of her
lips, In the middle of her forehead, at
either side of her nose, and under the
lower lip. These meant that as a slave
in a Turkish household she had been
kept for what Americans would call
Immoral purposes." They are the
marks of the concubine.
She escaped after five years, and
came to Detroit.
But even in America there was lit
tle happiness for her. Her face was
so disfigured by the tattooing, at which
Americans stared because they knew
not what it meant and from which her
follow Armenians averted their gaze
because they knew, and she was al
ways in tears because of it.
In time she met one of her own

“My kidneys became disordered due
to the heavy straining work I did
while farming. My kidneys acted too
freely and I had to get up several
times at night to pass the secretions
which were unnatural. Sharp pains
stabbed through me when I moved
quickly and if I stooped I got a ter
rible cramp in my back and could
hardly straighten again. My back was
lame and sore, mornings, and I could
hardly bend to lace my shoes. I be
aaie weak and a little work used up
my strength. Doan’s Kidney Pills

to recommend them.”

was tlie record-shatter
that was established in
sylvnniu hy Miss Betty
ion of New Cusile, l’a.
Miss Betty completed the entire
grade school course and the four-year
high .School course and lauded in the
honor class, among the graduates,
when commencement night arrived.
This Is probably a record that will
stand for many years in tills city, and
perhaps in the nation, for that mut
ter. For the past two years students
have stepped out of tlie New Castje
high school at the age of fourteen
years, but the record for graduating
at twelve far eclipses the marl; set by
tlie fourteon-yeur-olders.
Last year the student who was
graduated from the New Castle high
school at the age of fourteen years,
passed the entrance examinations and
entered Harvard university last fall.
He was Herbert Hoffleit.
Two years ago the local student
who achieved u diploma at the age
cf fourteen was Edmond Hamilton, a
brother of Betty Jane, lie at that
time held the record, nut his younger
sister bus far outdistanced him. He
entered Westminster college and is
making good as a collegiate student,
llis sister also expects to enter the
same institution and will add to her
laurels by enrolling in college classes
of a first rate institution at tlie age
of thirteen. Her birthday is in July.
Miss Betty June is no lop sided stu
dent either, as In addition to going
through the high school classes in
record time she .studied music con
sistently as a side Issue and is in
terested In other girl activities of her
neighborhood.
All ln all, the lust three years has
developed a remarkable trio of stu
dents in New t astle. l’erliups no
school In the nutiuu can lay claim to
any such record.
