IWititpn In memory of Mf.'A-ny Hiirtd. lute
of KnluviH. by her non, U. O. Hann.
Auother of Fulton's landmarks
has passed away ; but to all that
know her, with the writer, will
say that auother life of toil and
usefulness is ended. As to spirit
ual matters, she never believed in
removing the ancient customs,
and often spoke of the changes
that have been wrought in the
last twenty-five or fifty years,
and longed for the return of the
good old times when christians
would join their voices and pray
till the tiro would fall and saints
get blessed and shouts raise that
would echo from hill to hill,' and
go from heart to heart. Two of
her favorite ministers still live in
Fulton, namely, Rev. Chambers
and Rev. Wolf.
As a neighbor she was true and
faithful, rendering assistance
wherever within her power, aud
living the teachings of the golden
rule. Her sympathy and help
wero never withheld from those
in affliction or boreavment. Asa
wife she was true, as a mother
devoted, always endeavoring to
mcourage her children to choose
,ho paths of right. Nothing was
too hard for her to do for her chil
dren no night hour too late for
her to arise and minister to their
wants. She chastened us, but al
ways for our own good (See He
brews 12). To me she has often
said, "Days, months and years
have an end, but eternity has no
end. " May God grunt that every
reader of these lines will let these
words of her sink deep into their
hearts. Many a heart ache she
bore for me, and many a sigh I
would save her if the past could
be lived over again. But, alas!
past opportunities are gone gone
forever.
November 16, 1902 there (lash
ed over the wires, "Mother is very
sick. Has pneumonia. Come
home." With tearful eyes and a
heart almost choked with grief,
L lost no time in hastening to the
ide of that best of all earthly
friends. When I reached her,
iife was still there, but the hearty
handshake and greeting were
gone. Tenderly we watched day
and night, anxious to anticipate
and cater to every wish ; but on
the morning of November 23, 1902
her spirit. winged its flight to that
Heavenly land about which she
had so often talked.
Only those who have stood by
the bedside of a mother when her
eyelids closed for the last time,
and realized that it was all' over,
can know the utter loneliness,
and desolation of heart that fol
lows. But this article, which is grow
ing too lengthy, must be abbrevi
ated. The day for the funeral
comes, and tenderly her remains
are borne to their last resting
place at Asbury by her sons, Wil
liam U., Ross R., Miles L , Grant
II., and her son-in-law James Uor-
ton.
May the influence. of that life
bo so perfectly instilled into the
lives of her children that mother
and children may without the loss
of one, bo reunited again in that
better land where partings shall
be no more.
