ANOTHER AGED LADY PASSES ON
Time has come and passed, the death angel has been busy seeking with its sickle that person whose time on earth has been spent, and whom God has seen fit to call to their reward, and on last Tuesday, June 4, visited at the home of Mrs. Eliza Jane Sloan, wife of Esbon Sloan, and called her to take up her abode in heaven with those who had gone on before her to dwell forever and forever.

Enix, of Green Forest, Arkansas; two sisters, Mrs. Lucinda Hamilton, of Fitch and Mrs. A. Stamper of this city. Early in life she chose the road that leads to life everlasting, and in the days when she was and could be of service to her Maker she united with the Christian church, and from that day to the time she was called she rendered service for Him and lived a life of the Maker whose name is Christ Jesus. Her life was one of example and when followed will be a reward for those following.
The funeral services were conducted at the family cemetery near the old church on Flat Fork of Tygart Friday by Rev. May Reeder, after which, surrounded by a large crowd of friends who knew and loved her dearly, the remains were laid to rest.
