In Memoriam.
The subject of this notice, Mrs.
Martha McBride, was bom in a North
Carolina March 3rd, 1832. and died
February 21st, 1901, at the home of
her daughter, Mrs. J. B
ougb, near Wellston, Ga. Standing
in the gloom hovering over the fam
ily and community,! can see the ra
diance of the path trod by this sweet
Spirited woman. Having been left
a. widow in early life, she came with
her five fatherless little children back
to the community where she was
married, to be near a fond brother
and sister. Here she bravely faced
the issues of i life presented to her,
and by the help of God she made
life a Success and reared Jiar'chil
dren, who rise up and call her bless
ed. As a wife, mother and friend
she was forgetful of self in minis
tering to their comfort and pleasure.
Her gentle, guileless life is a rich
legacy to her children, and an . exp
a.inple worthy of emulation by her
friends and neighbors. Of late years
her- delicate health confined her
presence to a Small circle, but grow
ing and blossoming in that circle, are
forget-me-nots of tender mercies aud
sweet charities. Our hearts are sad
dened by her going away; but we
feel that she was ripe in years and
good works, and there was no sting
in death, no victory in the grave.
Living we loved her, and dead we
cherish her memory. Her virtues
she bequeathed us, and we can yet
meet her. in a heavenly place where
darkness is unknown, sun never sets;
sorrow never comes; where all is bliss.

Death of Mra. Swanson.
The many friends of Mra. Martha
A. Swanson will be pained to learn
of her death, which occurred at her
home one mile south of Dunbar Sat
urday night, February 23rd, 1901.
She was the widow of John W.
Swanson, and was about 60 years
of age. She possessed many lovable
traits of character which go. to make
up a beautiful Christian life. She
was a true member of the Methodist
church, and was loved and adored
by all who knew her. Before her
marriage to Mr. J. W. Swanson she
was Miss Martha A. Calhoun, the
daughter of Mr. W. M. Calhoun,
and spent most of her long and use
ful life in Houston county. Her re
mains were laid to rest at about 3
o’clock Sunday aftersnoon, Feb. 24,
by the side of her father. The fu
neral services were conducted by
Rev. N. T. Pafford. She leaves one
son, Mr. W. A Swanson, of near
Dunbar, eight grand-children and a
host of friends to mourn her loss.
Oh, grandmother, dear, we miss thee,
We miss thee everywhere;
We miss thy gentle footsteps,
We miss thy gentle and loving care.
