OBITUARY.
----------
Hattie was a dear sweet girl, yet very much afflicted since her fourth year. Her health only permitting her to attend day school a few months, and Sunday School a few years, yet she was a bright intelligent child and had by her long and painful sufferings, her cheerful face and beaming eyes, endeared herself to many hearts.
She joined the M. E. Church under the labors of Rev. E. L. Dolph, February 14th, 1871 and was received into full connection August 30th, of the same year. Though young in years, her testimony was clear to the power of Christ to save. She said to her parents the day before she died: "Jesus will take care of me." then thanking them for all the trouble that they had had with her, she bade them good bye, and added, tell Lizzie (her little sister) good bye. She said to the writer, "Jesus is with me." Her funeral was one of the unusual tenderness and beauty. Her Sunday School class composed of about a dozen young misses, surrounded her remains during the services, and then followed her to the tomb, where she was conveyed by six young men, former friends in the Sabbath School.
