OBITUARY.
"We are going down the valley one by one. Going toward the setting of the sun."
"It is appointed unto man once to die." and ever and anon the summons comes to some loved one, and we stand awe stricken and grieved for our loss and the vacancy which we feel cannot be filled.
Blinded by grief and disappointment we are prone o forget that the righteous are taken away from the evil to come, and that "precious in the sight of the Lord is death of his saints."
On the evening of July 23rd, 1910, the angel of eternal life, whom we call death, came to the home of Bro. W. L. Camp and bore to the realms of eternity his beloved wife. All hearts go out in sympathy to the bereaved husband, son and little grandson now the only members of the household.
In vain we search for words with which to frame a fitting memorial for this our friend and sister in Christ, whom it has been our privilege to know from early childhood till close of life.
Sister Mary V. Camp, now Smith was born Oct. 9th, 1838, united with the Baptist church at Rome, Ga., in the year 1858 and was baptised by Rev. John S. Dodd. She was married to W. L. Camp in 1862. Rev. Whitt Hambrick performed the marriage ceremony. Died July 23, 1910, was laid to rest in the family lot in Holly Springs cemetery.
Funeral services were conducted from home by Rev. Miller assisted Rev. C. Thos. Greer. A large concourse of relatives and friends attended and the floral offerings were many and beautiful.
Sister Camp had been for many years been identified with the New Hope Baptist Church.
She was a woman of strong convictions, yet conservative, unassuming in manner, sincere in friendship, given to hospitality, patient in tribulation, unwavering in christian faith.
Her character was beautifully exemplified in her patience in suffering and in her humble submission to the Master's will in all the dark valleys thro which she was called to pass.
She is survived by husband and four children. Four children have preceded her to the great beyond. With heartfelt sympathy for the bereaved, we commend them to the grave of God, believing "that all things work together for good to them that love he Lord" who are called according to his purpose.
Especially do our hearts go out in sympathy for Howell, the little grandson, whom having lost his own mother at age of twelve days, she took and cared for him more tenderly if possible than her own. May this double bereavement be to him a strong, yet tender tie which shall draw him heavenward.
We can only bow our hearts in humble submissioned to the divine providence which has removed her from earth, remembering our loss is her eternal gain.
