^lus September 2nd, 1901.^
U. V. Whepple.
On Friday morning, August
BOth 1901, just before the beauti
ful sun rose to glorify this earth,
thusoul of Mrs. Fannje Gilbert
Heard crossed over the river of
Heath to glorify the beautiful
Land on the other shore. The
departure was very, very bitter to
us, but the landing was so beauti
ful to the Angels of the Celestial
City. They met her singing songs
of praise,bedecked her brow with a
golden crown, and now she sits in
Glory, on the right, hand of the
throne. ^
While the disease was so tfile in
nature as to baffle the skill of an
excellent physician, she bore her
intense suffering with immeasure-
able patience, displaying, as it
were, submission with a great de
gree of magnitude.
Her death was a shock to her
friends, —almost like an accident—
a3 we did not apprehend the se
verity of htr illness until a short
period before she died.
Mrs. Heard was the youngest
daughter of Mrs. Mariah Gilbert
of Perry, and of the late Hr. J.
C. Gilbert of this county. She
was born, reared and educated in
Houston county. Had she lived
until February she would have
been 84 years of age. About fif
teen years ago, she joined the
Houston Factory Baptist church,
and she lived the life of a Chris
tian.
On Hec. 18th 1889, she was mar
ried to Mr. Virgil E. Heard, eld
est son of Mr. J. M. Heard, and
of this union were born six chil
dren, four boys and two girls, one
son and daughter having gone be
fore. As a wife, Mrs. Heard was
devoted, affectionate, and a com
panion in the purest and truest
meaning of the phrase; she was
'ever ready to comfort and cherish
her husband in his bitterest advert
sity. As a mother, she was pa
tient, kind and loving, filling a
mother’s chair with the dignity
becoming to any mother. Her
chief purpose in life was to make
noble men and women out of her
children. The influence she wield
ed over them would have produc
ed such.
As a daughter, she was obedient
subservient, compliant, always
displaying a desire to be submis
sive to the control of her parents.
She held her mother in the high
est esteem, true-filial esjbeem. As
a sister, she was thoughtful, un
selfish, unfeigned and she loved
her brothers and sisters with gen
uine sisterly love. As a neigh
bor, she was benign, benevolent,
honest and kind. She possessed
nothing too good for her neigh
bors^ she was attentive to the
sick, being a splendid nurse in the
sickroom.
As a member of the church, she
possessed every evidence of a
Christian. It was a great delight
to her to .perform beneficent
deeds.' Her daily walk in life was
such as to warrant us to feel that
she is in perfect bliss, which
should be a great consolation to
those who mourn and are grieved.
We realize that her vacancy
can never be filled again; we feel
that we are almost stricken down
with unutterable grief , yet we re
member Him whose will must be
done.
We, as humans, have not the
power to comfort the bereaved
husband, children, mother, broth-
and sisters, relatives and
ers
friends, but God has, and may He
cause them to see that it is for
the best. A Neighbor,

James Taylor Killed John Martin.
Last Saturday morning it was
reported in Perry that one negro
had killed another on the farm of
Mr. W. J. Cheek, about six miles
west of Perry.
Sheriff Cooper sent an officer
out to arrest the accnsed, and
Coroner Schilling went out to
hold an inquest.
The testimony at the inquest
was that James Taylor and John
Martin quarreled about a pencil,
and that inside the house a gun
was discharged, and Martin wis
killed.
Taylor admitted that he shot
deceased, but claimed that the
act was in self-defence, that Mar
tin was advancing upon him with
a hatchet in his hand, when the
fatal shot was fired. The shot
took effect in the right side of the
face.
The verdict of the jury declares
that “John Martin came to his
death by a gun shot wound by
James Taylor, alias Cossett Tay
lor, and we find it murder.”
n Taylor was arrested and brought
to Perry by W. A. Andrews, spec
ial deputy, and was placed in jail
to await investigation by the
grand jury, under a coroner’s war-
rent.
